Councillor Mrs Dorothy Ross-Tomlin, the Worshipful Mayor of Reigate and Banstead, officiated at

a ceremony on October 8^th 2007, to celebrate the near completion of Prospects Court, a new development of 16 apartments in Holmesdale Road, Reigate by Rushmon Homes.  Champagne corks popped as the Lady Mayor unveiled a plaque and then enjoyed a tour of the recently opened show apartment.

Prospects Court enjoys a very central location in Reigate and has many features that Mrs Ross-Tomlin is keen to promote in the local community. With its classical design it fits beautifully into the streetscape of Holmesdale Road, where the surrounding homes are mainly period properties.

In his welcoming speech, Mike Bicknell, Managing Director of Rushmon Homes, thanked the Lady Mayor for attending the celebration, saying: “The site was formerly occupied by just two police houses, so with sixteen much-needed new homes now complete, it represents a far more efficient use of available land. We have also included off-street parking for most of the apartments, so the impact of extra cars on the neighbourhood will be minimal.

“We are delighted to be able to contribute to local community needs by making the apartments good value for first time buyers in this relatively expensive area.”

With prices starting at £190,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment and 2 bedroom apartments ranging between £212,950 and £269,950, this has clearly been achieved. The apartments have sold very well indeed and now only a few remain. And with stamp duty paid, fitted carpets included and £750 towards legal fees, there is currently further incentive for hard-pressed younger buyers to choose Prospects Court.
