An established development in Bury has a range of brand-new apartments for young professionals and rightsizers looking to avoid Manchester’s high rent costs.
Finding a home close to bustling cities and major commuter connections can prove a difficult task, with many facing sky-high rental prices for apartments in city centres.
At Barratt Homes’ Waldmers Wood community on Walmersley Old Road, there is a great opportunity to avoid renting, get on the property ladder, whilst still being within 15 miles of Manchester.
Using Mortgage Helpers’ mortgage calculator, the average monthly repayments at the current interest rate for one of the two bedroom apartments at Waldmers Wood would be £964.36, based on a property price of £203,000 and a 10% deposit. In comparison, the average cost to rent a flat in Manchester is £1,665 according to Fabrik Property Group.
Not only is the monthly mortgage payment on one of brand-new apartments significantly cheaper, but the payments are for a property that’s owned, rather than someone else’s.
With commuter links near Waldmers Wood like the M66 and Bury Bolton Street Station offering easy access to Manchester, Bolton, Rochdale, Blackburn and Liverpool, the apartments at the development are readily available to offer the inner city lifestyle without the hustle, bustle and noise.
Alan Watt, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Manchester, said: “Our apartments at Waldmers Wood offer a great solution to anyone wanting to escape the rental trap or avoid the high rental costs in a major city.
“We encourage anyone who thinks an apartment could be the best option for them, both as a home and a smart investment for the future, to visit our Waldmers Wood development and chat to our Sales Advisers to find out more.”
The two bedroom Falkirk style apartments feature an open-plan lounge and dining area, accompanied by a modern kitchen. The lounge is ideal for relaxation and, combined with the dining area, it makes it the perfect area to host family and friends. There is also plenty of space to have a dedicated office area for home workers.
It showcases two double bedrooms, a modern family bathroom, and plenty of storage in the hallway.
Tucked away on the northern edge of Bury, Waldmers Wood combines a semi-rural setting with easy access to everyday amenities. Residents at the Walmersley Old Road development can enjoy scenic landscapes, including green open spaces and rolling hills.
