Property sales continue despite lockdown, says investor
Solomon New Homes, a regional property investment firm, has said that there is movement in the property market in Wolverhampton, despite the UK lockdown.
The firm is currently marketing 144 apartments at the Churchside converted office development in the south-western quarter of Wolverhampton city centre.
Churchside is a mix of 126 single-bedroom apartments and 18 two-bedroom apartments across its six storeys and offers approximately 70 car parking spaces for residents.
Churchside is also located close to a local park and the grounds of Grade II listed Church of St John in the Square and Solomon New Homes says off-plan interest in snapping up the apartments has continued to rise, despite the economic downturn and pandemic lockdown.
During the past seven weeks of Covid-19 lockdown Solomon has seen 11 sales completed at Churchside and over half of the available apartments are now reserved.
Andrew Ward, founder of Solomon New Homes, said: “It’s great to see people continuing to invest in Wolverhampton property. During lockdown our sales messages have been joined by COVID updates for our buyers to ensure they are kept abreast of industry movement via podcasts and webinars – whose numbers have increased in engagement by 30%. We have embraced digital technology for viewings and communicating with clients.”
He added: “The growth in people using online meeting facilities during lockdown has made people more comfortable appearing on film, our sales teams have therefore been able to conduct more ‘face to face’ meetings than they would normally and continue to carry on with business as ‘unusual’ during lockdown.”
