Bellway highlights 'Key-ready' homes at Renaissance

Uncertainty caused by the pandemic and lockdowns has led to uncertainty among housebuyers – now Bellway Homes says its Renaissance scheme offers some help.

The development of apartments to the west of Reading town centre offer ‘key-ready access’ in this era of instability and uncertainty.

Bellway Homes says:

Recent data from Santander indicated that of the 12,000 people surveyed, four in ten paused their home-buying plans in 2020; citing financial trouble, Covid-related uncertainty, and delayed build stages as the primary motivations for doing so.

Buyers looking to kick start their home buying journey should look no further than Renaissance in Reading; with its extensive collection of one and two -bedroom apartments. It is here that purchasers can press play on their home-buying plans, with four properties ready and available to move straight into.

Ideally positioned in the sought-after town of Reading, residents will benefit from excellent amenities, green spaces, schools and travel links within a one-mile radius of home; making this versatile development perfect for novice home-purchasers, commuters, families, and downsizers alike.

Emma Jones, sales and marketing director at Bellway Homes said: “The pandemic has undoubtedly caused a degree of uncertainty amongst home-buyers; whether it is their finances, job stability, or the ever-fluctuating property market.

“This is why here at Bellway, we’re thrilled to offer a number of key-ready homes at our development, Renaissance. With added bonuses of Help to Buy and Express Mover, there has never been a better time for purchasers to put the wheels in motion. We urge interested parties to book a viewing via our sales team as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.”

Each of Bellway’s key ready homes at Renaissance has been designed to appeal to twenty-first century buyers; coming complete with a range of high-quality fixtures and fittings to ensure residents’ day-to-day lives are hassle free. Layouts are bright and open. Kitchens feature a range of sleek and contemporary units and integrated appliances. Bathrooms are equally well appointed, and all the apartments enjoy a private terrace or balcony.

Reading’s town centre is home to a plethora of shopping opportunities. The town’s pedestrianised shopping precinct, Broad Street, hosts a diverse range of high street names, food and drink outlets, and independent boutiques. The Oracle provides yet another outlet, and enjoys yet more well-known brands, chain restaurants and cafés.

Alternatively, Prospect Park is eight-minutes away, and Mcllroy Park nature reserve is six. Fitness fanatics are likewise well catered for, with Rivermead Leisure Complex and Gym just three minutes away by car, offering a state-of-the-art gym, swimming pool and squash courts. Avid golfers can choose from Caversham Heath Golf Club and Calcot Park Golf Course within a 15-minute drive of home.

Families will benefit from a number of well-regarded schools, including Wilson Primary School (10 minutes away on foot), St Edward’s Prep (one-mile away) and The Wren School (10 minutes by car). For higher education, the University of Reading can be reached in under 20 minutes.
