Who is Crest Nicholson

Official information.

Crest Nicholson is a UK developer that creates housing as well as mixed use communities. They are very keen on sustainability and affordability of their developments.

Based in Chertsey they have developments in many towns in the the South. Including London, Reading, Bath, Bristol and others.

Q2 apartments specification

The development consists of 1 and 2 bed apartments, with top floor penthouses and a roof garden. The ground floor will contain some commercial units, however the licensing prevents any fast-food or bar type establishment. There is car parking available under the flats, as well as place for bicycle storage.

Part of the building is destined to be social housing, however that section will have a separate entrance, as well as no access to the roof garden.

EasyBuy - helping the first time buyers

Full description of EasyBuy benefits

In these hard times buying your first home can be a tedious and frustrating process. However as the credit crunch affects buyers, as well as developers, the later are now trying to easy the way to ownership, especially for first time buyers, with initiatives like Crest Nicholson's EasyBuy scheme.

Below are some of the benefits of participation:
  • You own 100% of the property - no extra rent, or buy out limits
  • Legal fees up to a certain amount paid for you - if you use suggested solicitors, about £900 for the Q2 development in Reading
  • No stamp duty - it's all taken care of
  • No area or age restrictions
  • First time buyers only
  • Mortgage arrangement fees paid for - if you use the recommended mortgage advisor
  • 5 years interest free, further 5 at a low percent (for the Q2 development it was around 3%)
  • No early repayment restrictions - pay off any time before the 10 years are up.

Beginning of development

The build work has started on the 1st of September. The first weeks have seen the foundations done, as well as the initial work on the first level.
