Liverpool-based Terry Riley’s Ascot Property Group is pleased to announce that, in collaboration with local AS Properties, they have been able to purchase and finish the building completion of the Pinewood’s Development, situated in the sought-after location of Victoria Road in Formby, Merseyside. Ascot Group, which was founded in the city in 1988 by local businessman Terry Riley, has been busy working to acquire the part-completed development in a £9 million scheme which has enabled them to turn around this premier site whilst maintaining each company’s benchmark of premium-quality building and finishing, which sits well within the road known as ‘Merseyside Millionaires’ Row.’
The Pinewoods Development itself consists of an exclusive, gated community featuring nine new build detached homes and one entirely refurbished property. Set in an area surrounded by Formby’s most luxurious mansions, many of which are valued at over £1 million, with one selling at over £3 million in 2020, it has been home to leading football managers, Premier League and leading sporting stars, property tycoons and noted celebrity names, including Jurgen Klopp, Brendan Rodgers, Duncan Ferguson and both the Rooneys and the Gerrards. Close to the nearby, beautiful Natural Trust nature reserve, Formby Golf Club and with the exclusive Merchant Taylors School adjacent to the area, Pinewood finds itself in a coveted location, complete with exclusive facilities, retailers and restaurants.
A spokesperson for Terry Riley’s Liverpool-based Ascot Group told us: ‘When we spotted Pinewood and noticed it was unfinished we grasped the opportunity, and also felt a sense of responsibility in an area where we regularly work to complete the project and give buyers the chance to purchase one of these luxurious homes. Ascot Group has been buying businesses & developments directly from banks and administrators for over thirty years, and especially after the lockdown, we felt it was vital to step in and ensure that this site was finished to its full potential.
In this instance, we were pleased to work alongside Andy & the team at AS Properties in this joint venture, as it was really important to get the houses completed to our equally exacting standards. As a result of our joint efforts, and due to demand in this highly desirable area, we have sold out the whole development within a week. This is a tremendous result for everyone involved.’
Ascot Group is continuing to grow its property portfolio across the region, ranging from social housing projects right through to high-end, luxury developments, so that every demographic and client base is catered for, and hope to work with AS Properties again in the future, extending its investments in the city and the Sefton area, as well as nationwide key area areas including Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, London and all major cities.
