Fleet: Apartments With Underground Parking Inside a Village of a Hundred Acres

Key details

About this property

The address is Ively Road, Fleet, in Hampshire's Hart district, and the village is a large one: 1,500 homes set in over a hundred acres of open space with a seventy acre country park next to it. A village centre with a primary school, shops and amenities is being built alongside. Fleet station is a five minute drive and the direct train reaches London Waterloo in forty minutes, which is why Fleet keeps appearing on lists of the best commuter towns for first time buyers. Eleven layouts are built across three bedroom counts. The one bedroom types are 52.9 and 53.8 square metres, 569 and 580 square feet. The two bedroom types run 66.9 to 79.9 square metres, 720 to 860 square feet, and one of them carries a terrace. The three bedroom types run 93.7 to 99.2 square metres, 1,009 to 1,068 square feet. Every apartment has private outdoor space and a utility cupboard, and parking is in the basement rather than on the street. The developer publishes a range of 250,000 to 480,000 pounds across the three bedroom counts and does not publish a price per layout. The apartments come as one bedroom types of 52.9 and 53.8 square metres, two bedroom types from 66.9 to 79.9, and three bedroom types from 93.7 to 99.2, one of the two bedroom types carrying a terrace. Parking is underground and the buildings carry a lift. Heating is underfloor and driven by an air source heat pump, the lighting is low energy throughout and the buildings were built to a high air tightness standard, which is what keeps the running costs of a new apartment below those of an older one of the same size. Tenure on the apartments is a 999 year lease and a service charge is levied for the shared areas and the basement car park. Payment follows the same schedule as the houses: 2,500 pounds to reserve under half a million, ten per cent on exchange twenty eight days later, a further five per cent six months after exchange and eighty five per cent on completion. As with the houses, no plot level price list is in circulation. The developer publishes a range of 250,000 to 480,000 pounds across the one, two and three bedroom types, so the individual price comes from the sales office rather than from this listing.
