Buying off plan reaps rewards
Buying a new home before a single brick has been laid may sound unusual, but local housebuilder Charles Church is seeing a surge in buyers in Wokingham doing exactly that.
With just 34 properties available at the company’s Chestnuts development on Chestnut Avenue in Woosehill, buyers should act fast to ensure they don’t miss out as the first phase has already sold out.
Charles Church Southern sales director, Tracey Lee, is advising buyers that it can be the best way to secure a dream home in a dream location, and says there are many benefits on offer for customers who act quickly and reserve early.
She says: “We are delighted to see a steady increase in house buyers wanting to get ahead of the game and purchase their new home off-plan.
“Buying this way is ideal because you can secure your preferred property and location within the development and reserving at this stage means you can truly personalise your home by choosing from a range of fixtures and fittings such as kitchen units, flooring, tiles or accessories from the Charles Church ‘Select’ range of options, complementing the existing property specification.”
A stunning collection of two bedroom coach houses and three and four bedroom homes, The Chestnuts epitomises the housebuilder’s luxury name and superior feel, making it ideal for young professionals, couples and families alike.
In fact, Wokingham was named as the best place to raise a young family in 2012 by a leading building society.
The properties are perfectly placed to take advantage of excellent transport connections, with regular train links to Reading, London and Gatwick airport. The M4 is also accessible in minutes, and all properties benefit from a single garage or parking space.
Tracey Lee adds: “The Chestnuts is another example of Charles Church’s long-standing reputation for creating luxurious quality homes in sought-after locations.
“The development has been designed with a combination of brick and render to complement the local area which boasts an impressive array of attractions, shops and amenities providing something for all the family.
These desirable properties are currently available for customers to purchase off-plan and a range of incentives are in place to help make moving into a new home as easy as possible.
Tracey adds: “By purchasing a new build with Charles Church, buyers may be eligible for the NewBuy scheme where customers can secure their new home with as little as five per cent deposit, which has the backing of a range of lenders and the Government.
“Alternatively those who need to sell their current home will appreciate the ease of the Charles Church Part Exchange Plus scheme, which allows purchasers to move quickly and easily, without the worry and headache of finding a buyer. As an added bonus Charles Church will pay the estate agent’s fees and customers can stay in their old home until the new one is ready.”
