Apartment living: the solution for an easy lifestyle
Whether you’re looking to get on the property ladder or downsize to live a life you love, new build flats are an affordable and easy-going lifestyle option.
Studies show that the happiness we get from buying is short lived in comparison to experiences that fill us with joy. More and more, simple living is becoming the prime purpose for home buyers.
Read on to see if you might be one of them, and for some of the satisfying benefits you can achieve with a new apartment home with Persimmon.
1. The daily joy of community living
With your neighbours close by, apartment living can give you a ready-made community that creates a sense of everyday security and comfort. This is known to also maximise your general wellbeing, and means you’ll never be short of milk for a cup of your favourite brew!
2. Get your ideal location
Very often flats, with the same number of bedrooms as a house, can be cheaper to buy. This gives you the choice to keep the extra cash, or put the funds towards finding your perfect location. So if you want to be near family, by the sea, or in a particular city, apartment living could make that possible.
3. Energy (and bill) savings
Our new-build flats have a double-whammy effect when it comes to energy saving. Not only do they have the high-quality insulation and energy efficiency of a new property, they also include the added benefit of height, and the energy and heat generated by the other apartments.
Which all adds up to more money in your pocket, so you can do more of what you love. You can read more about our sustainable homes here.
4. Minimal maintenance
Another money and time-saving feature new build flats have in common, is that they offer low-effort upkeep in comparison to a more traditional home – with only the interior to take care of.
And as our flats are new builds, you won’t find any of the repairs normally associated with older properties either. Plus, each new home comes with our 10-year warranty and insurance policy, which you can read more about here.
5. No compromise on storage
It's natural to assume that an apartment will offer less storage than a house. With a new Persimmon apartment, however, you won't need to compromise on space for your belongings. Most of our flats for sale come with two spacious storage cupboards, in addition to well-appointed kitchens and optional built in wardrobes. Meaning you can enjoy the convenience of a clutter-free, low-maintenance home, without sacrificing space.
6. Sense of security
Apartment living gives you peace of mind in so many ways. Occupying the building at most hours of the day, your fellow residents give you that sense of extra comfort. Which means that for holidays away, you can lock up and enjoy worry-free time away. Financially you also have more security, as your outgoings are significantly reduced.
7. The easy life
Normally in close proximity to shops, facilities and location highlights, our new-build apartments are ideal if you’re looking for a lifestyle that’s all about convenience.
From morning commutes to tidying up the living room, or walking to favourite neighbourhood destinations and amenities – apartment living is all about daily ease.
