With the number of first time buyers joining the property ladder rising by more than a fifth in 2014 but the average age for owning your first home still at a staggering high of 36 , the UK property market remains a scary prospect for first time buyers.

One first time buyer who is bucking the trend is 23 year old Olly Dall. Olly has recently moved into Hyde New Homes’ renowned regeneration project SuperB in Brighton.

Olly, who has bought a one bedroom apartment at this sought after development knew he was keen to get out of rented accomodation and onto the property ladder. He comments: “I had been renting with friends for a number of years, after moving from Portsmouth to Brighton five years ago when a friend offered me his spare room. I was getting to the stage where I was sick of sharing and wanted to have my own space and was keen to get onto the property ladder instead of continuing to give rent to landlords.”

Olly had previously worked as an estate agent in Brighton so was very aware of regeneration projects happening in the area and had taken an active interest in the redevelopment of New England Square and SuperB.

He continues: “I only wanted to buy new build so was very interested in SuperB with it being seconds from the train station. I now run my own business, so I need to be based close to a station with links to London and Gatwick. SuperB’s location is ideal.”

“I am so pleased with my apartment which being new build means it has a clean, fresh and modern feel. I love colour and vintage and it has given me a blank canvas to put my own stamp on it. The apartment is really light and airy and the room sizes are great and really easy to work with, giving me a great deal of flexibility on how I can use the space.”

Located on the doorstep of Brighton station, SuperB is Brighton’s newest neighbourhood boasting a selection of shared ownership and private sale apartments. The development will soon feature a new central plaza thriving with tasteful eateries, a hotel and an eclectic mix of shops. Enjoying the best of both worlds, SuperB lies between a major city and one of Britain’s most favourable towns. The development is a five minute walk to Brighton’s buzzing North Laine and one of Britain’s best beaches as well as an easy commute to London Victoria in just 58 minutes.

Aligning itself with the creative culture of Brighton town, the interior design of these new homes includes a neutral but bold backdrop; almost a blank canvas for any buyer to add their own touch. The kitchens create a focal point for every apartment with integrated A rated appliances and high gloss wall units.

Underfloor heating and large-format ceramic tiles come as standard to the bathrooms. Central cycle storage and balcony or terrace space are also included with selected apartments. Residents will also benefit from a concierge.

A stylish selection of 15 penthouses have recently launched at SuperB providing the perfect abode for the working professional wanting a little extra space without the London price tag. The two and three bedroom penthouses are available for Private Sale with prices starting from £499,950, including a parking space, a rare convenience within Brighton. Already 60% of the penthouses are reserved.
