First images inside apartments at £1bn Middlewood

Scarborough International Properties has released exclusive images of a new show apartment due to open this weekend at the £1bn Middlewood Locks development in Salford.

The apartment shows what buyers can expect when buying a two-bedroom apartment at the much-anticipated waterfront scheme for which the first release has already sold out.

Scarborough has also announced that ‘Help to Buy’ will also be available on selected properties allowing owner occupiers to step onto the property ladder with a city apartment for less than £130,000.

Help to Buy is an equity Loan whereby the Government lends up to 20% of the cost of a newly built home, so the purchaser only needs a 5% cash deposit and a 75% mortgage to make up the rest. They are not charged interest on the 20% loan for the first five years of owning their new home.

According to Scarborough, Middlewood Locks is currently the only mixed-use city centre apartment scheme offering Help to Buy with new homes available for occupation within the next seven months.

The dedicated new 1,500sq ft, two-storey show suite will feature the typical size, spacious layout and high specification of a two-bedroom apartment at Middlewood Locks.

This includes an open plan living room with full height glazing and terrace taking advantage of the spectacular views, a fully fitted contemporary German Pro-Norm kitchen with Quartz worktops and integrated appliances, bedrooms with built in wardrobes, and two luxury bathrooms with Vitra and Hansgrohe fittings.

Nicola Wallis, director of residential sales and marketing at Scarborough, said: “We are very excited to announce the launch of our stunning new marketing suite which opens on Saturday (September 16) from 10am.

“We have spared no expense in showcasing exactly what our customers can expect when they buy a new home at Middlewood Locks, a place that we like to call the new neighbourhood for the local community where Manchester and Salford meet.”

Middlewood Locks is being developed by FairBriar International, a joint venture, led by Scarborough International Properties (50%) with Metro Holdings of Singapore (25%) and Hualing Group of China (25%).
