Investors, homebuyers and homeowners thinking of downsizing to a smaller property without compromising on creature comforts will have a chance to take a closer look at the latest apartments coming on stream at Bath Riverside later this month. 

With many of the apartments now completed at the flagship Sovereign Point building, developer Crest Nicholson is organising an Open Day inviting people to experience the development as a whole rather than through the lens of the show home. 

Marcus Evans, Sales and Marketing Director at Crest Riverside said: “As the development matures people are beginning to see how Bath Riverside looks without scaffolding, cement trucks and hard hats. 

“Many people are appreciating how the development flows within its Riverside location – and within the new commercial and residential hubs springing up along on both banks of the Avon toward a rapidly transforming city centre.” 

Marcus said while most apartments sold at the Royal View and Sovereign Point buildings had been snapped up by investors, downsizers still made up a significant proportion of new buyers alongside people looking for get-away-from-it-all second homes.  

“Looking at the next couple of years, we believe a lot of people with something to sell will be stepping up their search for a smaller but just as comfortable new home. 

“Bath Riverside gives people the chance to dip a toe into the world of Downsizing.” 

Marcus Evans went on: “Previous purchasers have also been active buying up a second and even third apartment at Bath Riverside – which suggests they are recognising the strength and longevity of their investment. 

“And while big-ticket buyers have made up a significant percentage of our buyers – it’s important to make it clear there are a significant number of two-bedroom apartments for younger professionals looking for a place of their own in Bath.”
