Home developer Assettrust is selling apartments in its b-central site on Bournemouth's Commercial Road.
The development features a choice of two and three bedroom homes duplexes, suitable for those wanting to start out on the property ladder or start their first family.
b-central is located at the top of the town's high street and only ten minutes from the beach. The town itself is an hour and forty five minutes away from London and connects directly to other major business and leisure destinations, such as Birmingham, Oxford and Reading.
However, Bournemouth is growing at a fast rate, in part because of the local university and some unique tourist attractions in the Dorset region. The Jurassic coast was recently designated a World Heritage Site, as it features a full geological record of the Jurassic era. There is approximately seven miles of coastline, making the beach a big draw for surfers and sport fans.
The town is also at the forefront of more modern developments, such as a high-speed internet pilot scheme that could soon be rolled out across the country. The tourist industry is vital for the local economy, though the area is also a regional business hub.
Assettrust's multiple offers scheme supports the developers' mission to make attractive and well-located homes as affordable as possible.
According to the developer, an owner could just be paying £701 a month if they purchase a 50 per cent share of a two bedroom apartment priced at £177,500 and pay rent on the remainder. Buyers only need to have a shared (or single) income of £24,700 to buy.
Prospective homebuyers could even pay as little as a quarter (25 per cent) on the homes, while paying rent on the rest. Further savings could be had through the £1,000 reduction on any legal fees.
