WHY INVEST IN WESTON SUPER MARE?

Regeneration in Weston-super-Mare’s town centre continues to flourish, with the Dolphin Square site rapidly taking shape. Hundreds of jobs are set to be created in time for its Summer 2017 opening, offering a real boost to the local economy. Widespread improvements to Weston-super-Mare also include a new-look food court for the Sovereign Shopping Centre, with owners Vixcroft Ltd hinting at further improvement to the complex in the near future. Weston College’s £2.8 million refurb of the Arosfa Hotel has quickly progressed, complete with Starbucks outlet, and the Winter Gardens law and professional services development is well underway too.
Weston town councillor Mark Canniford said: “I think this is the beginning of the new Weston. If you jump forward 25 years Weston will be a better place”.
Looking at the broader town centre regeneration programme, North Somerset Council have successfully applied for a £460,000 grant from the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership. This will be able to improve on facilities, services and support to enable entrepreneurs in the digital and creative sectors. And with the increase in housing demand from Hinkley Point every corner of Somerset’s economy is poised for a real change, with local leaders wanting to use Hinkley to transform the skills of their young people as well as leaving a lasting legacy.
With regards to transport and infrastructure improvements, a three quarters of a million pound project was recently unveiled by the Government after a 10 year campaign to cut tailbacks and delays for local residents and businesses.
Local MP John Penrose has welcomed the announcement of a £750,000 boost from the Government to improve Junction 21 of the M5 motorway, saying: “It has taken 10 years to get it done and finally Westonians have won. After this, Junction 21 will be at full capacity and we will need to whole new junction – Junction 21a – to cope with the next phase of growth.”
The announcement came from Transport Secretary Chris Grayling as part of a package of Highways England road improvement schemes worth up to £20 million, which also promises to create thousands of jobs and homes in the South West. The Government claims the planned improvements to the M4 and A30, as well as the M5, will unlock the development of more than 3,300 homes and create more than 6,000 jobs for people living across Swindon, Exeter and Weston-super-Mare.

EPC

For full details of the EPC please refer to the online legal pack.

BUYER'S PREMIUM

Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a £750 + VAT (£900 inc VAT) buyer's premium which is ALWAYS payable upon exchange of contracts whether the sale is concluded before, during or after the auction date.

GUIDE PRICE

An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

RESERVE PRICE

The seller's minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.
