MoD homes in Plymstock go on the market after refurbishment

Former MOD homes for sale

As research reveals that the number of properties available for sale in the South West have dropped by more than a third compared to a year ago, Annington is helping to meet demand for housing in Plymouth by launching a collection of refurbished three-bedroom homes this summer. 

Located on Holmwood Avenue in Plymstock, Annington will shortly release a selection of homes to the market. The former MOD properties have been given a fresh lease of life while their established residential setting offers family homes in a great location to the local community at a starting price of £240,000.

Annington became one of the largest private owners of residential property in the UK following the purchase of 57,434 homes from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in 1996. Most of these properties are leased back to the MoD. A significant number, however, have been handed back to Annington who then refurbish and make available for sale or private rental at open market prices.

Lucas Jackson, branch manager at selling agents Fox and Sons said:

“We expect these properties to be particularly popular with local buyers, many of whom are born and bred in Plymouth and want to remain in the area. It’s no surprise that our pre-launch advertising has seen over 80 enquiries – these properties offer a rare opportunity to buy a good quality home right at the heart of the community.” 

Louise Saunders, sales and marketing manager at Annington, said:

“By refurbishing and returning these properties to sale, we are helping local buyers and Service personnel to put down roots in Plymouth. As an additional helping hand for the local Armed Forces, we are making a Service discount available on our properties, which subject to eligibility criteria, offers a £500 contribution from us for every £25,000 of the cost of the home, up to a maximum of £5,000.”
