When it comes to searching for the ideal home, recent research has shown that nearly 70% (67.5) of all househunters are prepared to compromise on their property in order to live in the right area. Local housebuilder, Bloor Homes, is therefore urging potential purchasers in Felixstowe to consider a new build property where they will enjoy the best of both.

One couple who found their perfect place without compromising on home or location was Mike Scarlett and partner Amy Newson, who used the government’s Help to Buy scheme to find a three bedroom property at Bloor Homes’ Martello Park development in Felixstowe.

Mike explains: “Amy and I had been living with her parents for around a year and half to save money for a deposit, and had only just started looking when we came to look at Martello Park. We were keen to get a foot onto the property ladder, but also needed a home that would be big enough to start a family in. We were worried that we might have to compromise on location in order to get the additional space.”

After some careful research, Mike and Amy realised that a new build property could be just what they were looking for. Mike continued: “After looking round some new build developments in the area, we were directed towards Martello Park, and immediately fell in love with the seaside location. I work in London, so the fact we could enjoy coastal living in a commutable location meant it ticked all the boxes.”

Amy added: “We were thrilled at how much space we could get for our money. The home has been carefully designed to suit our everyday life. For example the ground floor living room and additional roof terrace outside the master bedroom gives us great living areas. It’s these details and the high specification of the home, which really made it stand out.”

After speaking to the sales advisors, the couple also learnt of how the government’s Help to Buy scheme could help them to purchase the home they’d been dreaming of. Amy continued: “As first time buyers, the sales advisors made us feel incredibly welcome and helped us along every step of the way. Initially we were quite worried about the stress of purchasing our first home, but with their help it really couldn’t have been easier.”
