Riverside is urging buyers to act fast to snap up its last remaining apartment on a development close to Newcastle city centre.

Persimmon Homes North East has been delighted with the success of its Riverside Village development in Hebburn since it launched as people rushed to snap up a range of homes. Just one two-bedroom Aidan-style apartment is now available at the development, priced at £96,950. As well as boasting a fantastic location, the apartment is designed with an open plan kitchen/dining/living room with balcony, a spacious bathroom and storage cupboard to the hall, and is perfect for first-time buyers and young professionals.

Debbie Zaben, sales and marketing director at Persimmon Homes North East, said: “We believe Riverside Village has proved popular because it provides a peaceful setting that is also close to Newcastle city centre and all its attractions. With just one two-bedroom apartment left for sale, we would urge people to act quickly if they want to live here. There are several schemes available to make buying a home really simple". She added: “The Government-backed Help to Buy scheme is popular as only a 5% deposit is needed along with a 75% mortgage. The rest is made up with a 20% equity loan, which is interest and repayment free for the first five years.”
