MOOR PARK HAS IT’S OWN LOCAL RETAILER

Bespoke retail unit next to our Moor Park development will be a Co-op Food Store

Designed to fit in with the development and serve the local neighbourhood the 4,000sq ft store will have its own dedicated car parking for customers.

We have selected the Rochdale based retailer as part of the group’s commitment to supporting local suppliers and producers, together with its strong community support. Construction work will start in Spring as part of the second phase of the development and will open before the end of 2018.

Moor Park is a collection of handsome substantial stone built houses approached down a mature tree lined drive and sits in the grounds of the ‘The Residence’, the award-winning P J Livesey conversion of the former Lancaster Moor Hospital.

The food store is one of a number of community benefits enabled by the development. Other substantial contributions have been made to a local bus service and improvements to nearby football pitches and neighbouring open space.

THE RESIDENCE YORK COMPLETES

We have completed the final apartment at The Residence, our conversion of the former Terry’s Chocolate Factory Building at York

This has been an incredible project and a wonderful success story for everyone concerned. We are very pleased that the final home has now been finished with the new owners moving in before Christmas.

The sheer scale of the building and its heritage significance has needed all the company’s skill in order to convert and we are delighted that this has been recognised with a number of awards.

There was unprecedented demand from buyers who wanted to live in this iconic building which has proved to be the company’s fastest selling development. 163 luxury apartments and penthouses were sold in just 12 months.

The mix of properties has made The Residence a thriving community and has provided a lasting legacy for the city, preserving this much – loved landmark for years to come. The P J Livesey team are looking forward to converting the neighbouring clock tower early in the New Year.

Great News For First Time Buyers

GREAT NEWS FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS

Stamp duty has been removed on properties under £300,000

The budget announcement is guaranteed to bring with it the usual mixture of grins and groans as the impact on our lives and finances unravel. What we do know is that one of the chancellors priorities is getting the housing market moving and to do that the market needs first time buyers.

But the challenges for first time buyers getting onto the property ladder are well known. According to the Halifax first time buyer review the average price for a first home is a record £207,693. The survey also found the average first time buyer would have to stump up over £32,000 deposit – equating to 16% of the purchase price and then pay stamp duty over and above that.

Now things are changing and many first time buyers will be smiling like Cheshire cats this morning. In a move to stimulate the housing market, stamp duty has been removed on properties under £300,000.

That is good news for the market as Gavin Pearce, Group Sales Manager at P J Livesey explained, “I can’t think of a better time over recent years for first time buyers to buy a new build home. We have found affordability and raising deposit to be the main factors preventing first time buyers purchasing from us.

“Over recent years we have seen a change in the market, with smaller and smaller properties being made available by other developers to fit the affordability of first time buyers. P J Livesey build larger than average properties with high specification in a good location and now we have a great combination of Help to Buy, the reduction in stamp duty and P J Livesey’s stamp duty exception to offer first time buyers.

“This means a first-time buyer using a combination of Help to Buy and developer gifted deposit can buy a new luxury apartment in prestigious development with only a deposit from only £5,000 and there is no stamp duty to pay.

“Or, for first time buyers using Help to Buy and developer gifted deposit looking for an executive family home with 4 bedrooms, a garage and garden with a superior specification could require only £19,800 deposit and P J Livesey will pay the stamp duty over £300,000.

“Every first time buyers situation is different and there is no guarantee the numbers will stack up, but it is definitely worth enquiring and finding out for yourself.”

The Cedars, Woodbridge

CONVERSION OF CEDAR HOUSE

Exceptional late 18th and early 19th century property in Woodbridge

Cedar House

P J Livesey are used to creating unique properties but even by our standards Cedar House Woodbridge is very special

We have taken this landmark property, turned it back to front, kept all the best bits and created a stunning home of remarkable space and character. The project has employed all our skills in design and construction with teams of craftsmen working on site and at our specialist workshops in Manchester.

The transformation is coming together and we are delighted to announce that Cedar House has now launched for sale.

Cedar House woodbridge

Built as a private mansion between the late 18th and early 19th centuries the property has had an interesting history and it is said that Oliver Cromwell’s head was once stored in its large chimney! The macabre relic has since been formally re-buried at Sydney Sussex College, Cambridge – Cromwell’s alma mater.

The chimney remains, together with the distinctive double pitch roof and the original gable wall exposed and restored following the demolition of a later Victorian addition.

Original sash windows on the first floor have been removed and refurbished by hand in our workshop. An existing bay window, on what was the rear of the house, has been restored and a second symmetrical bay created to balance the façade and create a handsome new frontage.

The change is dramatic and when the works are complete early next year we think we will have created one of the finest homes available in the area.

Cedar House stands in its own grounds off a private tree-lined driveway just five minutes from the centre of Woodbridge and is priced at £1.45m.
