Rydon Homes reports that downsizers have been drawn to its charming collection of properties at Blanford Place, Blanford Road in Reigate, Surrey, accounting for a number of purchasers at the development.
An increasing number of Londoners are deserting the city for rural quality of life. But instead of the country cottage, some astute purchasers are opting for rural apartments, combining the advantages of low maintenance living and pleasant rural surroundings, while reducing their mortgage from the equity released on selling their metropolitan house. According to the National Office for Statistic, figures reveal that 260,000 people a year are moving out of London to find a better quality of life.
Robert Kerr, Marketing Manager for Rydon Homes comments: "Downsizers generally look for a smaller home, which means less upkeep and less expenditure. The average downsizer, however, does not want to compromise on quality and still wants to enjoy the close proximity of a range of leisure, shopping and generally relaxing, activities. Blanford Place ticks all these boxes and more"
Blanford Place has been designed with the same careful consideration for the mature leafy location for which Rydon Homes has become renowned. The prestigious development comprises eight stunning two-bedroom apartments, duplex apartments and three-bedroom penthouses, with gated undercroft parking is set on the highly desirable Blanford Road in Reigate.
