“We are offering excellent value at a competitive price point. In addition, we offer a very attractive easy payment option consisting of a 5% deposit, followed by payments equal to 6% of the cost price to be paid every subsequent quarter, with a completion date of Q3 2021. We estimate that studios should yield 12% per annum.
