The north of Essex borders Suffolk and Cambridgeshire along with miles of scenic coastline featuring traditional seaside resorts of Frinton-on-Sea, Walton-on-the-Naze and Clacton Pier. Local produce doesn’t get much better with world renown Tiptree Jam and Mersea Oysters hailing from this area along with other much smaller scale vineyards and breweries. Mersea was recently voted one of the best places to live in the East by The Times due to its relaxing landscape and fresh air.

With exceptional road access to the area’s nearby villages and towns, residents of Larcombe Mews are perfectly positioned to enjoy a relaxed lifestyle with every convenience within easy reach.

NOLA SHENFIELD

The development

Nola was a luxury collection of 88 apartments situated on one of the most sought-after roads in Shenfield, with every apartment boasting allocated parking 999-year lease and a great specification throughout.

Who were the purchasers?

The purchasers for the project at Nola were a complete range from first time buyers to investors and downsizers. It appealed to the first-time buyers’ market due to its proximity to Shenfield station which is now on the Elizabeth Line with its direct link into London and beyond.

They also attracted buyers coming out of the Havering areas and further north of the county in Chelmsford due to buyers wanting a shorter commute into the city.

The apartments made ideal investments due to its long lease and the lack of premium new build apartments in Shenfield. Investors were looking for strong yields whilst also maintaining excellent capital growth, with Shenfield house prices rising by over 200% in the last 20 years.

The luxury finish throughout proved popular with down sizers with some of our purchasers coming from some of the best roads in Essex, as it is one of the first developments in a long period of time to offer a secure premium new build apartment close to Shenfield.

How did we market the apartments?

Working with Fairview New Homes, Beresfords created a strategy to target not only local buyers, through out of home media and leaflet drops but also targeted social media campaigns further into Havering and Greater London.

As well as out of home media, utilising home internet devises such as Alexa to create adverts for Nola to encourage people to book their viewings today.

A further campaign was also designed for buyers of havering to highlight the affordability of Nola to buyers that would not have

considered Shenfield previously. This proved successful and we saw and significant increase in traffic both online and footfall to the site from buyers in this location which led to increased sales.

How could we help you?

Beresfords treats every new home development differently and understands the need for a bespoke marketing campaign depending on what type of development and property you are selling. From drone footage CGI brochure hording and signage Beresfords can work with developers to offer as much or as little as needed.

Guests were treated to a delicious buffet and fully loaded bar, whilst placing bets on the live races before the Grand National was streamed live for all to enjoy. Whilst it was a muddy start, the sun broke through and the weather held out and made for a delightful day. Due to the success and excellent feedback the marketing team are already putting plans together for the next event!

In your opinions, what are the market trends/building styles?

For all types of properties, having the ability to have a desk space away from the main living areas is something we are seeing more and more often. In family homes, purchasers are looking for a separate living space away from the kitchen/family room.

What are the advantages of buying new build?

End of chain , more economical to run in the current climate ,warranty provided and move straight into it . (See also page 41)

What challenges have Developers had to deal with?

With the changing market, developers have had to adapt to supply chain issues and buyer demand. Incentives are often negotiated to assist buyers purchasing and developers securing a sale.

Finally, if you were going to purchase a new build home, what would you look for?

How do Beresfords Land & New Homes Team support developers?

We are fortunate to have an in-house design team plus a large marketing team, including social media executives. Plus, a large dedicated new business centre consistently hitting the phones calling out on all our projects in support of our local offices.

Joe Waller New Homes Manager j.waller@beresfords.co.uk

Joe has worked in property since 2014 starting out at our flagship Chelmsford branch, working his way to assistant manager within Beresfords.

Having worked on large new homes sites while in the residential branches, he joined the New Homes Team in October 2019 as New Homes Consultant and has continued to build strong relationships with our developer clients as well as launching developments of all sizes across our branch network and working closely with the marketing team to achieve maximum exposure of key aspects of each development.

I would firstly look for location....a property with excellent connectivity into the local town, the previously mentioned study space, a high level finish and quality throughout and some space between the properties, to allow for attractive elevations and site lines.
