RESOLUTIONS. We all make them, break them – and re-evaluate them!

But there’s one way to guarantee a positive and pro-active start to 2010. Become a Rowland homeowner.

At Lancaster Place, in Bromborough, a simple scheme enabling buyers to access the best mortgages on the market is making buying a place of your own more achievable than ever. And with prices from under £87,000, it’s easy to see why.

Thanks to Powermove, young professionals have bought and moved into every one of the apartments in the first block at the Terminus Road development. Now, Rowland has released the second phase of eleven, two-bedroom apartments and will continue to offer the simple, safe and effective Powermove platform.

With Powermove, customer require a five per cent deposit and an 85% mortgage, with Rowland providing the remaining 15% of the loan interest free for the first five years. This means buyers can shop around and choose from the most competitive mortgage rates – and save money on the interest free part of the loan.

Apartments start from £101,995 – or, with Powermove, from just £86,995. Plus, each one comes fully carpeted, helping buyers keep even more pounds in their pocket.

Apartments are the perfect first home for young professionals. Designed in a space optimising open-plan style, they offer residents a light, flexible and super stylish environment in which to unwind. A designated off road parking space completes the convenience factor.

With budgeting high on everyone’s New Year agenda, apartments are both low maintenance and cost effective, equipped with energy efficient heating and all the modern technology you’d expect with a high quality new build home. A taste of the impressive specification includes a well-planned, fully fitted kitchen, sleek chrome door furniture and white Rocca sanitaryware, chrome towel rail and designer Hansgrohe taps to the bathroom.

Gill Richardson, sales manager for Rowland, said: “The housing market in 2010 shows early signs of becoming healthier and more invigorated with fresh and exciting opportunities for new and existing homeowners.

“Rowland’s current push to help buyers is Powermove. It’s like a bridge, helping plug the gap between fantasy and reality, enabling people like the many first time buyers at Lancaster Place to realise their dreams of becoming homeowners without fear of financial over-commitment.

“In the cold winter months, we all need something to give us a feel good factor and there’s nothing better than opening the door to your own brand new home. By introducing starter homes and apartments at Lancaster Place, Rowland effectively ended the drought on modern, affordable properties in Bromborough. With only eleven apartments left, anyone aspiring to this appealing lifestyle should come along and view the show apartment without delay.”

When complete, Lancaster Place will comprise a collection of 47 three-bedroom mews homes, three-bedroom townhouses and apartments. The development has enjoyed a warm reception from local people, who have welcomed Rowland’s significant contribution to elevate the standard of new housing in the area.

Now almost 75% sold, just one townhouse remains for sale, priced from £179,995 – or a Powermove price of £152,995. As an alternative option to Powermove, those with an existing home to sell may wish to talk to Rowland about part exchanging their way to the semi-detached Toulon.

The attractively designed property features a multi-functional ground floor, with the option of utilising one room as a fourth bedroom, study or playroom. A utility room and cloakroom with shower unit ensure complete convenience and efficient use of floor space.

Moving up, the first floor is dedicated to relaxing and entertaining, with a spacious lounge and open-plan kitchen and dining area. The master bedroom, complete with en-suite and bedrooms two and three are accommodated on the top floor, along with a family size bathroom.
