A leading UK housebuilder is celebrating as one of its developments in Wiltshire is exceeding all sales expectations, being one of the fastest selling locations in the region, despite not even opening the showhome on site yet.

The Persimmon Homes sales team at Cathedral Gate in Salisbury have been delighted by the success of the development, with eight early bird reservations and three sales in the first weekend the site was open.

Rob Allen, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Coast, said: “We knew that Cathedral Gate would be popular, but we’ve been bowled over by how quickly the houses have been reserved, since we released the first properties for sale last month.

“We have not yet even launched the showhome, but that hasn’t put off buyers, who are flocking to find out more about the homes available.

“The fabulous location combines the best in city living with stunning open countryside nearby, while the mixture of two bedroom apartments and houses to suit every type of buy makes Cathedral Gate a very special development.

“The feedback we are getting from buyers is that the properties are just what the market needs in Salisbury.”

Cathedral Gate is situated on Woodbury Rise, on the outskirts of Salisbury, within reach of the city centre, leisure facilities and the city’s renowned and respected schools.

Properties currently available range from a two bedroom apartment with parking for just £179,950* to substantial four bedroom family homes.

Rob Allen added: “The Government’s Help To Buy shared equity scheme is available at Cathedral Gate, meaning buyers could be securing the keys to their new home with just a five per cent deposit. We can also advise on part exchange for anyone struggling to sell their existing home. Just come to the marketing suite at Cathedral Gate and talk to one of our advisors.”
