Young professionals who work in the Portsmouth city centre who are looking to invest in a one or two-bedroom flat there may be interested in Crest Nicholson's award-winning development, the Admiralty Quarter (AQ).
The builder has just seen the project received the Building for Life Gold standard recognising its design excellence by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment.
Other figures who were elemental in choosing a winner were the government's advisor on architecture, urban space and public space and the Home Builders Federation.
Chris Warner, sales and marketing director from Crest Nicholson Regeneration, said the accolade was regarded as a national standard and the company was "delighted" to have received it.
"It recognises the commitment we have given to build this development to the highest standards possible
it gives AQ the recognition it deserves," he added.
Those interested in other Crest Nicholson houses who are struggling to take that first step on the property ladder may want to take advantage of the government's HomeBuy Direct scheme.
Designed to be a stepping stone to ownership, it allows 30 per cent of the market value to be financed through an interest free equity loan.
