Improved Mortgage Conditions Makes Harbourside Number One Destination In Bristol

Jan. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- With reports that mortgage availability is improving and that lending criteria is easing means that house hunters across Bristol will soon be able to secure their dream home.

It came as little surprise that banks and lenders put in place stricter lending measures during the downturn leaving many would be buyers frustrated at not being able to move.

But with the economy showing tentative signs of recovery and developers increasing output, it is hoped this news will encourage the mortgage providers to step up approvals for loans.

For those looking to move to the city centre there are a number of new developments that are ideal, none more so than Crest Nicholson’s Harbourside development which can be found on the edge of the city’s historic floating harbour.

There they will find a number of one and two-bedroom properties that ooze quality and being only a short walk from the centre of Bristol provide all the trappings synonymous with living in a bustling city centre.



Vicky Dudbridge from selling agent King Sturge said: “The news that mortgage approvals are increasing is encouraging as it will enable a range of buyers to hopefully secure the loan they need to move.

“Situated in the heart of Bristol and overlooking the water no other development in Bristol can offer what Harbourside can. There is a range of amenities right on the doorstep and with the city centre only a short walk away is perfect for those who might work in Bristol.



“The water taxi stops right outside and is another great way to get around especially to Temple Meads where people can then catch the train to further destinations.”

Unlike many other property developers Crest maintained its build schedule throughout the downturn and means it has available a selection of properties ideal for a range of house hunter.

This includes one-bedroom apartments in the Tiller House phase. Perfect for first time buyers, with Crest’s offer to pay 5% of the deposit makes these an ideal opportunity for those looking to get on the property ladder.

And with the development achieving a Building for Life gold standard from the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), the Government’s advisor on architecture, urban space and public space and the Home Builders Federation (HBF) means those who live at the development will do so in an environment that’s regarded as being the very best.

Prices for a one-bedroom apartment start from £189,995 and for a two-bedroom apartment start from £270,000.
