A developer has revealed new images of a state-of-the-art flats in Southend which it says are among the fastest selling in the UK this year.

Weston Homes is currently in the midst of building a high rise block in the town to create 217 apartments.

The £53.8 million scheme is seeing the new building put on the site of the former HMRC building in Victoria Avenue.

Since putting properties on the market in January, Knight Frank says more than 50 per cent have been snapped up already.

Echo:

Spokesman Edward Robinson said: “Knight Frank has been averaging six deals per week at Victoria Central since it launched in January, which is equivalent to almost a deal a day.

Echo:

"There is a very good reason why it has been so popular.

“Southend has been steadily growing in popularity over recent years, and is especially sought-after by first-time buyers, young professionals and families.

Echo:

“Covid-19 has made everybody revaluate what they want from their next home, and golden locations such as Southend are more popular than ever.”

Once finished, the scheme – called Victoria Central – will see a mix of one, two and three bedroom homes created.

Echo:

Each one will come fully fitted with a range of flooring, designer kitchen units with quartz stone worktops and LED lighting.

Luxurious bathrooms are also being installed and will offer digitally controlled Smart taps, showers and baths for ‘precision’ temperature control, as well as Smart Mirrors with LED lighting, shaver socket, digital clock and de-mist feature.

Suzanne Aplin, Group Sales & Marketing Director at Weston Homes commented: “We are delighted with the excellent sales at Victoria Central so far.

"The development has proven to be extremely popular as it offers great value and stylish homes with our all-inclusive, luxurious specification.
