At the company’s recently completed Somersbury Court development in Almondbury, Huddersfield, potential home-owners are being offered the opportunity to rent a luxury apartment for up to 12 months – potentially rent free.

This is a fantastic but limited offer whereby a tenant can rent one of 4 brand new apartments (of the 30 in the building) and also enter into an option agreement to purchase the property at any time during a 6 or 12 month tenancy. This option is perfect for people who are not quite able to buy at the current time – particularly as Conroy Brook will reduce the price of the apartment by the amount of rent paid should they decide to buy. In addition they will also help the tenant to obtain a mortgage – something that is proving difficult, particularly for first time buyers, in the current climate.

However if the tenancy agreement ends and the tenant decides they don’t want to buy, they can return the keys to agents Luxe Lettings with no further obligation.

Director Richard Conroy explains: “Like all developers at the moment, we want to get people into our properties. So we have thought about how we can assist those wanting to buy a property, but are unable or unwilling to commit at the present moment in time. We think we have come up with a superb offer with this ‘try before you buy’ option.”

The company is also offering a rolling programme of additional incentives to potential homeowners including discounts on selected apartments, stamp duty and legal fees paid, carpets and curtains included throughout and help to sell your own home (if required).

Somersbury Court is an award-winning development of 30 two-bedroom apartments which benefit from the highest specifications as standard, including contemporary full length cast-curved glass balconies, granite kitchen work surfaces, fully integrated Smeg appliances, Villeroy & Boch bathrooms and Hans Grohe fittings.

In addition they also feature the latest ‘green’, eco-friendly, energy-efficient heating system. The Daikin Altherma air source heat pump system uses a combination of electricity and renewable energy from the atmosphere which requires just 1kW of electrical input to generate 3kW to 5kW of heating output. That translates to £3.50 worth of electricity for every £1 spent. Another great incentive bearing in mind the spiraling fuel costs.

Despite the state of the housing market, a third of the building has been sold since the launch in September, testament to the quality and desirability of this prestigious development.

The apartments are priced from £150,000 to £240,000.
