Pimms and strawberries at The Acres

With the first residents of The Acres in Horley recently moved in, Barratt Southern Counties is holding a garden party with Pimm’s and strawberries to celebrate on Saturday 2nd May from 10 am to 6 pm.

The event will give the new residents a chance to meet properly while prospective buyers will have the chance to view the three stunning showhomes at the development, which showcase the different house types available.

The development is a fledgling community which is really taking shape, set in over 129 acres on the north eastern edge of Horley. The landscaping has now been planted and has already received recognition; it was awarded a Highly Commended certificate in the local Horley in Spring competition run by the Town Council.

Trevor Sawyer, managing director of Barratt Southern Counties, said: “We are delighted to have been recognised in the Horley in Spring competition as we have spent a great deal of time making sure the development looks as fantastic as possible in time for the summer months.”

Barratt has enjoyed a great start to the year at The Acres with a significant rise in the number of visitors to its showhomes in recent months and sales picking up.

An excellent range of incentives is available to help prospective purchasers, no matter what their situation. If you have a property to sell, you could take advantage of Barratt’s popular Part Exchange Service with Mortgage Protection.

Barratt buys your existing home and handles everything from then on. This takes away the worry of being in a chain and you can even stay in your old property until the new one is ready. With no estate agent fees to pay, or HIP pack to prepare, you save money too.

Barratt will also pay the first year’s premium to insure buyers against being unable to make their mortgage payments through no fault of their own.

“It’s great to have a little extra peace of mind when you’re moving into a new home,” said Trevor Sawyer, Managing Director of Barratt Southern Counties. “Whether it’s illness, injury, redundancy or something else unexpected, this policy will ensure that monthly mortgage repayments are covered in full for up to three years. It’s a welcome element of reassurance in these uncertain times.”

The free insurance applies to standard protection policies taken out by homebuyers as a requirement of their mortgage offer. Customers will have no monthly premiums to pay for the first year and the cover – should it be needed – will meet the whole of each month’s mortgage repayments for up to three years. Buyers may still be eligible for other assistance packages from Barratt.

At The Acres, Langshott Lane, Horley, Surrey, RH6 8PB, prices start from £275,995 for a three-bedroom home, £360,995 for a four-bedroom home and £530,995 for a five-bedroom home.
