First time buyers and families need look no further as Lovell Homes is promoting two of its stylish and affordable developments in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. The apartments at Vista and Hatfield Rise are ideally located for London leavers who will benefit from Hertfordshire’s green spaces but still have easy commuter access.
Lovell Homes is offering competitively priced apartments to suit first time buyers’ budgets in the current ‘buyer’s market.’ A recent report* from Zoopla showed that those who want to take a step onto the property ladder can leverage an 8% saving on the market average, due to their stronger position and elevated mortgage rates.
Both Vista and Hatfield Rise are modern, high-quality developments with one and two bedroom apartments for sale in a Hertfordshire town which is known for its blend of history and modern living. Built with pride by Lovell Homes, both quality developments offer commuter distance living at a fraction of the cost of a capital-based residence. They also offer better value for money and an enhanced standard of living.
Hatfield Rise is an impressive development and is leading the town’s ambitious plan to provide more quality new homes. Location wise, The University of Hertfordshire is just moments away and the homes have everything a buyer could want – green space but with easy links to London. In total, Hatfield Rise will deliver 146 quality new homes (37 affordable), 18 retail units, with a new green space at the heart of the development.
Vista is set in central Hatfield and has proven a popular choice for young professionals. A highly desirable location close to Hatfield station with regular train services into London King’s Cross taking less than 25-minutes means it’s an ideal choice for busy commuters. Vista offers a collection of 71 homes, contributing to the wider regeneration of Hatfield town centre, as part of the Hatfield 2030 Vision. These stylish, modern, affordable apartments are set along a landscaped boulevard and courtyards with tree lined streets. Delivering spacious, affordable living in this historic town with amenities on your doorstep, they feature open plan living, stylish kitchens, balconies, and room to work from home.
Being new-builds they have been designed and built with energy efficiency in mind. With an EPC rating of B & C, these apartments offer low utility bills due to energy saving appliances, LED lamps and lighting, eco-friendly insulation helping you stay warm and cosy in winter and keeping the heat out in summer. The latest report by The House Builder Federation, using research based on Government Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data – reveals that buyers of new homes save on average over £1,600 on household bills per property each year. That’s the equivalent of £137 per month for apartment buyers. New builds also emit up to 60% less carbon than older homes, helping the planet and saving you money.
Simon Ginsburg, Head of Sales at Lovell Homes said: “Hatfield town has undergone extensive regeneration over the last five-years, including a 12.5-million-pound redevelopment of the train station to ensure its future fit. The new homes at Hatfield Rise and Vista, combined with the significant improvements to the immediate surrounding area, will create an amazing new community and an opportunity for homebuyers to be part of this growth.”
