Much-needed new homes to be launched in Portchester

A new housing development is being launched in Portchester providing much-needed homes in the area together with supporting around 500 jobs.

Persimmon Homes South Coast has opened Harbourside View, in Cranleigh Road, and is delighted that the development has caused a stir, with a large amount of people already registering their interest in the homes.

The development will see 120 homes built, with two, three, four and five bedrooms. It will also include a large public open space and play area. It is hoped a three-bedroom Clayton Corner showhome will be launched this summer, with the first home owners completing in the autumn.

The development will help provide around 500 jobs, including direct staff, contractors and the wider supplier network.

Graeme Cole, Head of Sales at Persimmon Homes South Coast, said: “This development is certainly attracting some interest, as it will appeal to a wide cross-section of buyers. It is also in a great location, close to a public footpath to the coast and local amenities with good commuter links.”

Once Harbourside View is launched, people will be able to buy off-plan, before a single brick has even been laid. The development will initially be marketed from the housebuilder’s Dukes Meadow development in Tangmere. After that, it will be marketed from the region’s head office in Fareham.

Graeme added: “Buying off-plan means purchasers can secure their preferred property and location within the development. In addition, reserving at this stage means customers can truly personalise their home by choosing from a range of ‘finishing touches’ - fixtures and fittings items such as kitchen units, appliances, waterfall showers, wall tiles and flooring options.

“It also means that buyers have the maximum amount of time to prepare themselves, taking some of the stress out of moving home.

“With some many people registering an interest, we would urge people to hurry as we believe this development will sell quickly.”
