FINAL PROPERTY AT ALDERLEY PARK

A stunning two bedroom apartment overlooking the historic water garden

Welcome to Apartment 50 at The Water Garden – your final opportunity to own a brand-new PJ Livesey property at Alderley Park.

The Water Garden enjoys its own unique setting within the park and is a truly special building, offering grand single level homes with wide south facing terraces cantilevered over the water.

There are just 25 apartments and penthouses – the only ones being built in the Park – so it is the last chance to be part of this wonderful place.

The Water Garden completes our development of the Historic Quarter where courtyards of mellow Cheshire style cottages sit alongside contemporary family homes, the tranquil water garden with its original fountain have been restored. All are surrounded by 400 acres of glorious parkland which is open and free to explore and the wider estate offers a state of the art gym and sports halls and a soon to open gastro pub The Churchill Tree.

Our final property is located on the first floor and is a bright and beautiful apartment with spacious open plan living framed by the curtain wall windows with a bespoke high specification kitchen fitted with Siemens appliances and a breakfast bar for informal dining.

The master bedroom suite has a dressing area and luxurious en-suite and there is a second double bedroom and large house bathroom.

High specification features include heat recovery system.

The wide covered terraced terrace spans the entire length of the apartment and can be accessed from both the living room and the master bedroom.

There is a utility room as well as a cloakroom in the wide hallway to add practicality alongside luxury as well as dedicated parking.

Access to the property is through security doors into a grand lobby featuring CCTV. There is a separate service and postal entrance and a lift to all floors.

This stunning, one-off property is available for £639,950 which includes carpeting throughout and extensive fitted wardrobes, bedside tables and headboards in both bedrooms.

Ready to move into it qualifies for the Government’s Stamp Duty Holiday which means a saving of £15,000 in tax.

NEW NORMAL
NEW HOME

Having a home that is as adaptable as possible has become even more important

4ata collected during the initial Covid lockdown has shown that how people coped with the enforced isolation was hugely affected by their home.

Access to outside space, areas for quiet time or hobby time or the space to properly work from home all had a significant impact on well-being.

With flexible working, changing family dynamics and an increased appreciation of nature having a home that is as adaptable as possible has become even more important.

Welcome to The Farington – a three storey 4-bedroom property that is designed to make your life easier.

On the ground floor a wide hallway with down stairs cloakroom leads into a large open plan living space with large bi-fold doors onto the turfed rear garden. There’s plenty of room for a formal dining table for family dinners and the recessed top-quality kitchen is packed with appliances including a washer/dryer.

On the first floor the main bedroom suite has ample space for fitted wardrobes and a sumptuous en-suite shower room.

There is a chic family bathroom and two more bedrooms on this level.
On the third floor the lifestyle options really start to unfold.

There’s a fourth bedroom and a separate shower room, perfect for extended family or guests, and at the front of the house a large airy room with bi-fold doors opening onto a private terrace.

This has the potential to be many things from a cinema room to teenage den, yoga or exercise space to artist studio or hobby room.

Group Sales manager Gavin Pearce said: “The sheer flexibility of The Farington has made this house design particularly popular with families where having ‘me’ time is just as important as having family time right now.

“The roof terrace is a very popular feature – you can be in your upstairs retreat and throw open the doors to let in the fresh air and with the 825 site being so full of mature trees it does bring a wonderful sense of nature into the house.”

The final three properties are now available priced from £619,950 and will be ready to move into by February.
Which means that they qualify for the Government’s Stamp Duty Holiday on property house sales that are completed by the end of March 2021.
At present rates you will only have to pay £5997.50 in stamp duty compared to £20,997 when the stamp duty holiday ends – A massive saving of £14,999.50!

To see for yourself the flexibility of The Farington and how you can adapt the space for your own new normal please call our sales consultant Brittany to make a personal appointment.

STORETON HALL LAUNCHES

This weekend and we’d love to see you there, call 0800 151 0960 to arrange your appointment

The wraps will be officially taken off our show home at Storeton Hall on The Wirral this weekend.

We have been overwhelmed by the interest in this lovely development which centres around part of an original 13th century manor house and its neighbouring stone barn.

We previewed the properties to registered buyers last weekend and they loved both the location and the homes with 11 properties reserved off plan.

To meet demand this weekend we are releasing a further four homes, offering four, five or six bedrooms, all detached and all with generous gardens and garage parking.

They include one of the grandest homes on the development, the 5/6 bedroom three storey Ascot property. And there’s lots more choice with four other house types and prices starting from just £409,950.

Group sales manager Gavin Pearce, said: “People have been actively following the development of this site and with just 27 new homes being built did not want to miss out.

“The first release sold, literally within hours, to people who had previously registered interest and we are pleased to be able to make four more available for sale this weekend. These are spacious family homes in a lovely walled setting, surrounded by open countryside yet with easy access to local amenities and the road network.

“We have not been surprised by the interest.”

The first homes are scheduled to be complete by next spring.

Under current restrictions viewings are strictly by appointment only between 10am and 4pm both Saturday and Sunday with all necessary safety precautions taken between visits.

As well as the new build homes, we are also converting Storeton Hall Barn into two, four bedroom homes with unique features and history.

More details on these very special barn properties are available on request from the sales team.

P J Livesey Market Update

SEPTEMBER, 2020

PJ LIVESEY MARKET UPDATE

Since the restrictions of the lockdown relaxed in May, we’ve helped 45 people into their new home.

We’ve had no reported cases of any of our Staff having the virus and continue to do everything we can to keep protecting our staff and customers, including putting procedures in place to allow you to visit our developments safely.

Our sales negotiators are performing morning health checks before coming into work and our Marketing Suites are marked out to keep social distancing, with hand sanitizer and face masks available. We want you to feel secure and confident while visiting our developments and know that your safety is always our main priority.

The recent months have changed the way we live and therefore changed the way we look at the space around us and our home comforts as well as our commute. We’ve seen an increase in the purchase of our properties at all sites and repeatedly hear from our clients about the generous outside spaces we offer or more rural surroundings.

Our Water Garden development in Alderley is now down to the final property available and with over 400 acres of parkland on your doorstep, a short commute into town and large balcony spaces you can see why these have become so sort after with recent events.

Our Green Walk development in Didsbury has now only six properties available. The executive three story houses include open plan living, balconies and generous gardens as well as home study rooms. Everything you may have realised is important to how you and your family live while under the restrictions of today’s world. Whilst the two and three bedroom apartments are spacious, in the heart of Didsbury with easy commute to Manchester City Centre and also feature generous balconies for alfresco dining.

825 Didsbury has had the most success over the recent months with the highest reservations taken. Phase I houses and over 80% of our Parkland apartment block are reserved or completed. If you’re looking for a home in Didsbury with P J Livesey standards of space and comfort.

We are seeing demand for new homes at the moment and although we advise our clients to create an appointment before travelling to site to help maintain our social distance standards, we have noticed an increase in walk-in customers and people excited to purchase a new home and that’s understandable because it is an exciting time to look.

With Help to Buy available as well as the ‘Stamp Duty Holiday’ you could not only get yourself into a home you didn’t think you could afford but also save a great amount of money doing it.

So we’re happy to announce that we’ve pushed the construction process forward for our latest development in Storeton so you can get the most for your money and not miss out on these amazing schemes.

Storeton Hall has already had an amazing start with six pre-release reservations taken out of our first phase eight-property release. The National Launch of this exciting new development will be in October with properties completing before the ‘Stamp Duty Holiday’ ends.

We know that not everyone is comfortable with the thought of venturing out just yet and we will still be providing virtual tours and links to help you to view our developments from the comfort of your own home.

We will continue to monitor the developing situation closely while following all Government and public health guidelines. So please look out for further updates.

Best Regards
The PJ Livesey Team

MARKET REPORT

Property buyers are enjoying the most favourable market conditions in years.

Key changes to tax, interest rates and lending criteria have combined to create a stimulus that is helping thousands of would be home owners buy their next property.

• The lowest mortgage interest rates on record
• The return of 10% deposits
• Stamp Duty threshold temporarily raised to £500,000

These new and positive financial conditions are already making a difference at all levels of the market.

Jennifer Ridgeon from financial advisors Daniels Associates, said: “The stamp duty holiday is a welcome incentive and will increase market activity in the next few weeks and months.

“We have also seen a number of other elements come into play banks and building societies reacting positively to attract new customers. And lenders expect higher loan to value (LTV) lending to rise as consumer demand for house purchases and re-mortgages rebounds in the third quarter of 2020.

“Metro, Coventry Building Society and Nationwide all re-introducing 90% LTV products, it’s fair to say that lenders are returning to higher lending levels again.

“Virgin and Clydesdale Bank are also offering a 10-day to mortgage offer service or £100 cash payment if they don’t meet the deadline. It is a positive move as lenders are finally back to normal service standards with physical valuations now able to proceed.”

The lock-down emphasised the importance of personal outside space, either a garden or private balcony, green surroundings and easy access to parks or countryside – something offered by all PJ Livesey schemes.

Whether it’s the mature grounds of 825 Didsbury, the central open space of Green Walk or the rolling acres of Alderley Park – we know our customers appreciate the natural environments we create.

PJ Livesey board director Craig Lynch said: “We saw intense on-line activity during the lock-down as customers looked either for their first home or a home more suited to their needs and this is now translating into sales. Buyers who had been considering a move are now committing to their purchase and since measures eased and our sales centres re-opened we have been phenomenally busy.”

At The Water Garden in Alderley Park Cheshire, nine of the luxurious properties including prestigious water level apartments have been reserved in the last month.

Craig added: “There are several reasons for the uplift in reservations. The undercover parking, grand entrance foyer, show homes and vast balconies overlooking the Water Garden’s historic fountain are complete so buyers can see for themselves how special this development is. The new show apartments are in progress including a beautiful two-bedroom property priced £624,950 and a breathtaking water level mansion garden apartment for £1.3m.”

At Green Walk, the resumption of 10% deposits from some lenders, coupled with stamp duty savings of up to £15,000 have seen first time buyers able to step onto the ladder and into their first apartment home at Quantum House.

With the latest show apartment now sold there are only five apartments still available in this luxurious building where the huge terraces form an ‘outside room’ for entertaining and relaxing.

The Green Walk houses are attracting families who want the buzz of West Didsbury and its great connections coupled with large contemporary living spaces that make life easy.

At 825, twenty-three apartments released in the first phase have now been reserved and the new releases are all planned to complete within the stamp duty holiday window.

These include two new designer dressed show apartments. Apartment three is a dual aspect two-bedroom garden apartment with private parking available for £409,950 and Apartment eight, also a garden apartment with a private setting and beautiful aspect priced at £394,950.

Craig added: “This really is a golden opportunity for buyers to take advantage of these favourable market conditions. It’s all about location and quality and now is a great time for buyers acquire their new home.

“Our sales consultants can help advise on the properties available for completion before the end of March 2021 and how buyers can be in the best position to proceed so they don’t miss out.”
