May 2007 - Yorkshire Homebuilder Looks To Northern Ireland For Investors
Consort Homes, leading homebuilder in Yorkshire and Scotland, has teamed up with Belfast-based property agents, Source Property, to target the investor market in Northern Ireland.
Three of Consort’s developments in Yorkshire’s top investment areas: Thornton, Bradford; Blenheim Way, Bradford and Pellon, Halifax, will be put forward to potential investors who no longer wish to buy in Northern Ireland wish to diversify, due to an 80-90 per cent increase in house prices over the past two years.
As well as approaching property brokers and buyers individually on behalf of Consort Homes, Source Property is holding a number of invitation only seminars over the next few weeks, showcasing the investment potential offered by Consort.
Darren Stubbs, Chairman of Consort Homes, said; “This partnership with Source Property is opening our doors to a new market.
“With huge increases in prices on the Irish property market over the last few years, investors are looking for something new and at Consort, we believe the location of many developments, as well as careful design and competitive pricing, means that we can fill the gap for the Irish investor.
“Source is born out of a highly-regarded financial services company, so I have no doubt that they will provide us with a strong presence in Northern Ireland and one which we intend to expand in the future.”
Brian O’Neill, Financial Director at Source Property, said; “Recently an increasing number of Irish investors have been looking to property hotspots across England in order to invest wisely.
“The location, size and specification of many of Consort’s properties are ideal for this market and we will be using our expertise to help investors capitalise on this.”
