Nick Green, 51, and Andrea Cristino, 42, are both cabin crew who work from London Gatwick airport. They currently live in Reigate, Surrey, and until a few weeks ago owned one other property which they rent out to provide an additional income to their daily jobs.
When they decided to look for another investment property, Nick and Andrea were immediately attracted to Fairview New Homes’ development in Crawley – Pembroke Park. Nick explains, “It was a combination of the excellent location, new build quality and very reasonable price that made buying at Pembroke Park so appealing to us. Crawley is a very dependable town for a rental investment, as there is a lot of industry in the area, the commute to London is short and easy, and of course the airport is nearby.
“When we visited the apartments at Pembroke Park, the sales team were very helpful and both Andrea and I were impressed with the plans for the development. Come mid- April, we were able to buy a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment for only £160,000, including an underground parking space which will increase the rentability of the property.”
Nick continues, “We have already had a lot of interest from potential tenants. The type of person we see renting at Pembroke Park would be a young professional who might travel a lot for work, or can’t afford to live in central London. We have had one interested party who works between London and Brussels, so Crawley could be an ideal location for him.”
Pembroke Park is a development of one and two-bedroom apartments in the thriving area of Crawley which has plenty of choice for leisure and entertainment. K2 is the town’s brand-new leisure complex with facilities including an Olympic sized pool, a 12-metre climbing rock and a health and fitness suite.
For travel further afield, the M23 and A23 are nearby and Crawley and Three Bridges railway stations are also easily accessible with regular, direct services to London Victoria and London Bridge in under an hour. Gatwick Airport is less than five miles away.
Prices at Pembroke Park start from as little as £139,000 for a one-bedroom apartment.
