Bob Weston, CEO of Weston Homes commented: “At Morello Quarter, we have experienced excellent sales success, and just a few apartments remain in the latest phase. We feel that this is due to the high quality, location and commutability. Many of the purchasers are professionals, who commute into London.”
First Time Buyer, Luke Tully, bought an apartment at Morello Quarter after discovering its commutable location, taking around 30 minutes by train into Central London. Luke commented:“Affordability was high on my wish list, but I also wanted to live somewhere that offered me a manageable commute and that wasn’t too far from family. Basildon seemed an obvious choice.
“Morello Quarter is only a three minute walk from the train station, I can get to work in under an hour and my parents are about a 45 minute drive away. While I was looking for an apartment I was staying with them and my commute to Canary Wharf was an hour and a half. It’s a dream now in comparison.”
