FIRST RESIDENTS MOVE IN

We’re happy to announce the our first clients has been given their keys

Westwood Park

St James Park at Didsbury has been looking glorious in the recent Autumn sunshine with the site’s mature trees putting on a beautiful display.

Work on converting the historic listed buildings is continuing at pace and the first residents have now moved in to Sandhurst House.

The two wings of the handsome Grade II* listed building have been vertically split to create three-storey contemporary townhouses complete with unique roof terraces and have been so popular only four now remain for sale.

Mansion style apartments are being created at the front of the building, maximising the tall ceilings and showcasing the original windows, carefully refurbished by hand in our Trafford Park workshop.

Each apartment is unique. On the first floor apartment 103 is a spacious three bedroom duplex property with upper floor living/dining/kitchen space opening onto a south facing terrace.

On the ground floor one very special property will incorporate the building’s original panelled library and dining hall.

It is rewarding and exciting to see the former MMU college campus come back to life and we are looking forward to revealing homes in the distinctive Chapel early in the New Year.

There has also been huge interest in the contemporary split-level newly built family homes that have been individually designed for the site. The first have now reached roof height and of the eight properties available four have already been sold.

STUNNING SHOW HOME AT YORK

Designer Dressed and Sold

We have just fitted out a new show apartment at York – and as you can see it looks stunning.

So stunning in fact that a buyer had already snapped it up as we put the final cushions into place!

The apartment spans the central part of the Art Deco building giving views over both the city skyline, the Racecourse and surrounding countryside.

There are only five of these central properties now available and they include a large three-bedroom home identical to the show unit on the third floor with a wide south-facing balcony.

As well as the show unit buyers are able to view a dual aspect apartment on the first floor that has two large double bedrooms, bags of storage, bespoke PJ Livesey kitchen and a living area with French doors onto a balcony overlooking the Knavesmire.

Sales at The Residence continue to surpass all expectations and we anticipate the conversion of the Grade II listed Factory Building will be complete by next summer.

ANOTHER AWARD FOR LANCASTER

The quality of craftsmanship being delivered by the team has deservedly won another Award

Westwood Park

The project was named national ‘Conversion/Refurbishment Development of the Year’ at The Bricks Awards 2016 beating numerous big name corporates to the top spot.

The award, run by LABC Warranty in partnership with Local Authority Building Control (LABC) The Bricks celebrates the very best in the house building industry, recognising companies and individuals who stand out from the rest and go the extra mile to deliver quality in construction and design.

Project Manager Darren McCart and his fiancé Gaynor, collected the Award at a ceremony held at Landing Forty Two venue in the magnificent Leadenhall Building in London, otherwise known as the Cheesegrater building.

With over 3000 eligible developments, it is a great achievement to be shortlisted and The P J Livesey Group are delighted the team’s work has been recognised nationally.

Darren said: “This is an Award for everyone who has worked on site and everyone in the company. Recognition for your efforts is always welcome and it is even more rewarding for it to be delivered by the people who have monitored every stage of construction.“

Mike Swatton, LABC Warranty Business Development Director and Head Judge commented, “We have seen a good, consistent level of build standards across the board with some exceptional workmanship and quality in construction.”

And it is not the first time this prestigious development has been recognised by the same body of professionals, indeed in 2014 the first phase of the project, Campbell House, won the Bricks Best Conversion / Refurbishment category.

The high quality of construction and specification on offer is also reflected in the volume and speed of sales with now just 16 unique properties remaining at The Residence Lancaster.

Yorkshire Market Leading the Country

YORKSHIRE MARKET LEADING THE COUNTRY

The North Yorkshire housing market is currently outperforming most

The North Yorkshire housing market is currently outperforming most other regions in the country according to Carter Jonas partner Edward Stoyle.

The firm’s offices in York and Harrogate are delivering better sales levels than typically strong areas such as Cambridge and Oxford and are outstripping many others in the country.

Edward said: “We are outperforming not just by a little bit but by some margin. Double the numbers of some offices.”

and a combination of desirable areas, solid, mature markets and good properties for sale are “acting like a magnet for money.”

He said: “although we remain in uncertain time’s it is property, especially in desirable buildings and well served areas, that is still viewed by many as a very safe long term investment.”

The P J LIvesey Group are working in partnership with Carter Jonas at The Residence in York, our conversion of the iconic Terry’s Chocolate Factory into 170 unique apartments.

Since launching in May 2016 an incredible 110 properties and all bar one of the magnificent duplex penthouses have been sold.

Edward said: “I was at a charity event at the neighbouring York racecourse the other week and lots of talk was about The Residence and the level of sales. Even in a strong market, I have to say that the sales figures are exceptional.

“Sales started strong and have remained consistently high and we are seeing some interesting dynamics emerge.

“Around 25% – 30% of sales are to experienced small investors, which is about right on a scheme this size. But we have found that many people who went in to rent early have now turned into buyers. They have tried out life here, like it, and flipped from renting to buying.

“They key to the development’s success is not just the quality of the conversion and the high specification but the fact the homes are sensibly priced and consequently offer terrific value as well as heritage legacy.

“It is telling that key business people from around the city have chosen to purchase at The Residence.”

Residents enjoy a boutique hotel style entrance and concierge service as well as exceptional building maintenance and ground landscaping. Allocated parking is also included.

Edward added: “People come to us asking to be within the city walls or very close to the city centre and we will often oblige by showing them three or four apartments, suggesting they view The Residence as the final stop and by the time we get inside they are already converted!

“It is creating a new legacy for York and it will be interesting to see how the rest of the heritage site unfolds next year and in my view it can only get better.”
