Persimmon Homes is urging home hunters in Cambridge to visits its development in neighbouring Saffron Walden to see how much more they can get for their money, in an equally ideal location.

Tudor Park offers a range of three and four bedroom homes situated in a market town amidst some of the finest rolling countryside in Essex, making it ideal for established families and those looking to expand.

Statistics suggest that the average house price in Cambridge is over £360,000 and the detached average is soaring at over £612,000, but Persimmon Homes is offering stunning three bedroom detached and semi-detached homes with parking and en suites starting from almost half the price.

Norman Sharpe, sales director at Persimmon Homes Essex, said: “We currently have three bedroom detached properties starting from just £330,000 and semi-detached properties from £299,995. Home hunters should get in early to snap up their dream home at a price they never thought possible.

“There has never been a better time for purchasers to widen their horizons and see what is out there in the property market and this development is a stunning example of how much more you can get for your money in an equally prime and picturesque location.”

There are a whole host of amenities, shops, and leisure activities in Saffron Walden and close-by in Bishop’s Stortford and Cambridge, while central London is an easy 55 minute commute from Audley End station.

Norman adds: “We are encouraging people to visit the marketing suite ahead of the show home opening later this month, in order to reap the rewards on offer for those who act quickly and reserve early.”

“Buying off plan is ideal because you can secure your preferred property and location within the development. Reserving at this stage also 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 Persimmon Homes Finishing Touches Collection.”

With something for everyone, there are a range of incentives in place to help home buyers turn their dream of owning a new home into a reality.

Norman adds: “The new Help to Buy initiative, announced during this year’s budget, is proving popular and making it easier for many homebuyers to secure their new home. Purchasers need a minimum of just five per cent deposit which is then combined with an equity loan from the Government, which is interest free for the first five years, equating to 20 per cent of the property’s value. A mortgage is then secured on the remaining 75 per cent of the property’s value.

“Home Change is another excellent scheme that can help buyers to make their move more quickly. Under the scheme Persimmon sales advisors take the hassle out of selling the buyer’s existing property leaving them free to concentrate on moving into their new home. They will arrange valuations, agree a price and then market the property. There are no estate agent fees or headaches - everything is taken care of.

“Customers have complete control over the price of their existing property under the Home Change scheme as the price is agreed to ensure they can move into their new property.

“Buyers qualifying for Part Exchange can enjoy a hassle-free move without any hidden marketing costs or chains that risk breaking down. Persimmon will arrange at least two valuations, agrees a market price with the customer before the straight forward process of moving into a new home can begin.”

Anyone interested in a property at Tudor Park is advised to visit the marketing suite to find out which schemes, offers or incentives are available to them. Located on De Vigier Avenue, the marketing suite is open Thursday to Monday 10am to 5pm. The show home will be open later this month.
