A surge in sales during the latest national lockdown has left just four homes for sale at a housing development in Gedling.
Peter James Homes' site, built in the grounds of the former Gedling Manor, is a fourteen home development.
Estate agent Kerri Bywater, of Nottingham-based William H Brown estate agents, believes it will be a matter of weeks before the final properties are sold.
Kerri said: “Enquiries and viewings remain at an extremely healthy level, despite Covid-19. In fact, they are far higher than we would normally expect, perhaps because people feel safer viewing a new show home than entering someone’s private property.”
The Nottingham-based developer agreed saying the speed at which purchases have been completed has "exceeded all expectations".
The first residents moved into the site off Wood Lane in October 2020, just before the second lockdown came into force. At the time the Arnold couple said: “We put in our reservation there and then [when they viewed their house for the first time] and, despite the uncertainty created by the pandemic, Peter James Homes did an amazing job in hitting the original completion date, and keeping us updated despite Covid-19. We really couldn’t be happier.”
The four remaining homes at the development are all four or five-bedroom properties, ranging in price from £520,000 to £630,000.
MaryClaire Morgan, sales manager for Peter James Homes, which has offices in Nottingham, said: “We know that people have put more thought into their homes and their local environment since the pandemic, and it somewhat changed our perspective on the work-life balance.
“But we’ve nevertheless been delighted and astonished at the phenomenal speed at which these luxury homes have been snapped up. It’s great news for us – and for the housing market in general.”
The rapid turnover of sales has largely occurred since a show home was made available for viewings in September.
