Ashton’s Newest Residential Scheme to Launch Next Month
Ask Life will be
launching its first phase of 72 stunning city-style
apartments - Liberty at St Petersfield - in the
up-and-coming district of Ashton-under-Lyne,
Tameside next month (October)
The mix of one and two-bedroom apartments will go on
sale on Saturday 13th October, with a two-day
preview to allow potential buyers the chance to view
the plans and prices of the apartments, on Thursday
11th and Friday 12th October, that will be within
the ground floor block of the new building on
Bentick Street.
The apartments form an integral part of the new £42m
urban quarter being developed by Ask Life’s
innovative parent company Ask Developments, and the
scheme has newly completed public landscaped areas,
overlooking striking water fountains.
Ask Life is providing a new way to help first-time
buyers purchase a Liberty at St Petersfield
apartment by allowing purchasers to pay their
deposit by monthly instalments in place of paying
the deposit in one lump sum, from the time they
exchange to the time the apartment is built.
Says Head of Sales, Sian Pitt: “Many first time
buyers pay the £500 reservation fee but then find it
difficult to afford the 5% deposit in one lump sum.
We are therefore allowing purchasers, if they wish
to do so, to pay this as a monthly sum, which on an
apartment under £100,000 works out at around £350 a
month. This is a lot more manageable for people,
particularly those who might be still living at
home, and at the same time prepares them for paying
a mortgage!”
With prices starting from around £99,950 for a one
bedroom apartment - all of which feature
fully-fitted luxury bathrooms with ceramic wall and
floor tiling and modern contemporary kitchens,
complete with stainless steel appliances, the Ask
Life team expects demand to be high.
Their first scheme in Urmston, Manchester sold out
in under 2 hours, with buyers queuing - some
overnight - to purchase one of the apartments within
the proposed new shopping centre.
Liberty at St Petersfield apartments will be built
in accordance with Ask Life’s quality and attention
to detail - and its location offers easy access to
the transport links into Manchester city centre and
is close to the M60 motorway network and Ashton
train station.
Duncan Bowman, Director of Ask Life said: “Our
residential scheme complements the overall St
Petersfield scheme perfectly and we want to help
create a new district that people will be proud to
live and work in.
The Liberty at St Petersfield apartments will
benefit from the excellent location and stunning
landscaping. As with all Ask Life schemes, they will
be of a very high standard but within a price-range
that the majority, not the few, can afford and from
the number of enquiries that we have already, we
expect the scheme to sell well.”
A new sales and marketing suite, complete with a
show apartment, will be created within the scheme
and will be opened early next year. Work on the
first phase of the residential development will
begin at a similar time, with the second phase
expected to start later in 2008.
