George Wimpey hosts ‘Ask The Experts’ events

Househunters looking for advice about buying a new home – and to save money in the process – can meet some of the area’s leading property market experts at a series of events this month.

Leading local house-builder George Wimpey is hosting a series of special ‘Ask The Experts’ days at its popular Parklands development in Woburn Sands, and at Broughton Fields, Willow Lake and Oxley Gate in Milton Keynes.

By coming along, visitors can speak to local estate agents, solicitors and financial advisors to gain the information they need to help them make the right move.

Jason Colmer, Sales and Marketing Director for George Wimpey, explains: “Many people want to move home but are sometimes worried about getting the right mortgage deal or don’t want the hassle or costs of selling their property.

“Through our new ‘Ask the Experts’ days, buyers can receive clear-cut answers to any questions they might have, to help them make informed decisions and save thousands of pounds.”

For example, first-time buyers can find out how they can have their stamp duty paid up to 1%, receive a free mortgage broker service, free removals and get a competitive mortgage quote within just 72 hours.

For those with a house to sell, George Wimpey can provide a fast valuation on their current property, market their existing home, pay estate agents fees, provide help with legal fees and take care of their Home Information Pack.

Visitors to the developments can also take a look at the wide range of homes available, see inside amazing showhomes and find out about fittings and finishing touches included with each new property.

John Wakefield from New Homes Mortgage Services and local estate agent Stuart Rillstone, of Carters, are just two of the experts who will be dispensing vital information on the day.

“I think there has never been a better time to buy new,” says John. “Prices offered by housebuilders are very attractive and a new home brings all the benefits of lower utility bills as well as a choice of fixtures and fittings.

“A lot of people are looking to buy at the moment and for those taking advantage of builders’ incentive schemes, or with at least a 10% deposit, now is the time to buy.”

Adds Stuart: “This is a great time to buy, especially for homeowners looking to move up market, but it’s important to get advice on mortgages and to speak to estate agents to make the most of the current situation.

“Also with new Home Information Pack (HIP) regulations, an insight from the agent is invaluable.”
