A collection of unique and contemporary two and three bedroom rooftop apartments and Penthouses with stunning views Description

The multi-million pound restoration of The Palace provides an exciting and unique residential opportunity in one of Southend’s premier landmark buildings. The apartments and penthouses are located in a superior position, above of the recently refurbished Palace Hotel, an iconic building with a dominating presence due to its height and elevated position, the combination of which provides uninterrupted views across the Thames Estuary and the roofscape of the greater Southend area. Its enviable location on Pier Hill also offers residents easy access to the town’s extensive waterfront and town centre amenities including several train stations offering services into London.

The developments focus and design revolve around the breathtaking views where all apartments will benefit from full length glass windows and terraced outside areas. The residents of this development will all have access to an open courtyard area high above the Southend landscape where the benefits of highrise living come into their own.

The cool crisp finish of the exterior of these apartments provide a sense of contemporary elegance which provides an unusual synergy with the Edwardian building on which it stands. Inside the apartments are finished to a superior standard that befits a development of this nature offering contemporary and luxurious high-rise living.

A long-running row between two Leigh-on-Sea neighbours will finally be resolved at a Dedman Gray Auction sale on Wednesday 26 May 2010.

It was 1999 when Milica Markos first took her then neighbour Alan Goodfellow to court over a boundary dispute. At the time, the judge ruled he had wrongly demolished her fence and built a concrete driveway on her land in Glenbervie Drive but ordered Ms. Markos to pay the legal costs, which were in the region of £10,000.

She failed to pay. A court order was made requiring the property to be sold to cover the court costs but again, Markos ignored it. This led to a writ of possession for the four-bedroomed house. Despite a challenge from her legal team, this latest ruling was recently upheld by the Court of Appeal in London.

44 Glenbervie Drive, Leigh-on-Sea will now be sold by auction in Dedman Gray’s sale taking place at 3pm on Wednesday 26 May at Saxon Hall, Aviation Way, Southend-on-Sea.

The property has a guide price of £80,000.

Dedman Gray Auction’s Managing Director Mike Gray says “We have already received a high number of enquiries about this particular lot.  We are unaware of the full background on how this situation originally occurred and then escalated, but we do have confirmation - in the form of a Court Order - that the property must be sold on the day of the auction.”

He added “In circumstances like these, an auction sale is the best method of selling. Auctions offer both vendors and buyers quick, simple and cost-effective solutions and consequently, are becoming an increasingly popular, tried and trusted way to buy and sell property.”
