Great Homes Limited, the award-winning company behind The Oaks development of starter apartments in South Ockendon, is delighted to announce a new ‘help and assistance’ package for first time buyers.
Launched to coincide with the unveiling of the latest phase of one-bedroom apartments that will be ready for occupation in the next few weeks, the package includes a range of incentives and savings designed to make buying a new home an affordable option for anyone wanting to get that all-important first foot on the property ladder.
A recent open weekend provided the perfect opportunity to see what The Oaks had to offer, view the apartments and study the range of first time buyer incentives. It was hugely successful. Buyers who missed the event can simply call sales agent Porter Glenny to make their own arrangements and see the apartments for themselves.
“We designed The Oaks to suit a wide age group and to meet a need for starter homes in the area,” says David Sparks, managing director of Chafford Hundred-based Great Homes Limited. “Now by offering a ‘help and assistance’ package for first time buyers we hope we can help make a new home not only affordable but a relatively stress-free experience too.”
The Oaks occupies an especially prominent location on the corner of Garth Road and South Road, minutes from South Ockendon’s railway station where journeys into London’s Fenchurch Street Station take around just 30 minutes. The frequency of trains make commuting to work possible, while it also means the city’s leisure and shopping facilities are in easy reach, as are major Essex towns such as Southend-on-Sea.
The Oaks comprises a total of eight one-bedroom apartment homes in two attractive buildings that lie either side of a private residents’ car park and landscaped gardens. It offers a high specification inside and out.
For example, the kitchen of each open-plan apartment is presented in a white high gloss finish with complementing black marble effect worktops. A range of integrated appliances including an oven, hob and extractor fan are standard, along with toning floor covering, wall tiles and spot lighting which give the room a contemporary feel.
Each apartment affords a bathroom with a white suite that gives the opportunity to personalise with coloured accessories. A mains feed shower mixer and folding door, along with ceramic wall tiles and vinyl floor covering complete the look.
Bedrooms, private hallways and the main living area are carpeted, while throughout The Oaks features ash veneer internal doors with Italian designed chrome door furniture, numerous telephone and internet connection points, and provision for terrestrial and satellite television.
South Ockendon, which can trace its roots back as far as the Domesday book, is a popular Essex village that revolves around its village green and its Norman church.
The Oaks location nearby puts it at the centre of the village, close to local shops for everyday purchases and open spaces such as Belhus Woods which is a stone’s throw away and the ideal place for a walk or picnic. Designated routes are mapped out for cyclists and horse riders too.
Just a few miles away is the Lakeside shopping centre for cinemas, sports facilities and a vast choice of goods to purchase.
“We have been delighted with the response to The Oaks and feel this is due to the specification, great location and the fact that the apartments have been designed to suit the pocket of the first time buyer,” says Mr Sparks.
