Galliard Homes sold an incredible 132 off-plan units in two days at a sales launch last weekend at the Crowne Plaza, ExCel in Docklands.

All 62 units at Bear Lane, their new South Bank development, were snapped up on Saturday by eager investors paying from £280,000 - £600,000 for one and two bed apartments.

And over half the 138 units at Vision 20, a stylish residential tower in the heart of Ilford town centre were sold over the course of the weekend with the queue of buyers filling up the lobby of the hotel for the entire morning. Prices ranged from £175,000 to £250,000 for one beds and from £230,000 to £300,000 for two beds.

Buyers were a mixture of investors and first time buyers, jumping in now to get on the property ladder early and use the 2 year construction period to save up their deposit.

Madeleine Flower, & marketing director at Galliard Homes, says: “We were delighted with this phenomenal sales performance and to sell all 62 units at Bear Lane in just one day was a real achievement. However, this illustrates the demand there is for sensibly-priced units at the heart of the South Bank.

She adds: “With the expansion of the Thames Gateway and the knock-on effects of the 2012 Olympics just down the road in Stratford, Ilford could not only be a convenient place to live but also a wise place to invest – hence the great interest shown in Vision 20.”
