Partnership proves successful for Rippon Homes

The partnership between local companies Rippon Homes and Gascoines has resulted in a marked improvement in activity at the housebuilder’s exclusive School Mews development in Farnsfield which has led to the first sale since the two joined forces.

Situated on Main Street in the desirable location of Farnsfield, School Mews is a select development comprising just 10 three-, four- and five- bedroom properties and is perfect for homebuyers looking for high quality homes in a pleasant, village setting.

Mansfield’s leading housebuilder and one of the region’s most established estate agents joined forces towards the end of 2008 during one of the most challenging economic climates of recent years. But the partnership is proving successful and has resulted in the sale of plot 4 which is a charming four- bedroom property in the style of a Harrow.

Tracey Nicholls, Sales and Marketing Manager for Rippon Homes comments “The challenging housing market of late led us to look at alternative marketing opportunities which resulted in us joining forces with Gascoines.

“They are doing a fantastic job of promoting School Mews, it’s a superb development which needs to be seen in the flesh to fully appreciate the quality of the homes on offer, so we’re pleased that Gascoines are getting more potential customers to view.

“We hope this increase in activity will result in further sales and we’re hoping to maintain this success until all the homes at School Mews are sold.”

Nick Wheelwright, Residential Valuer at Gascoines comments “We are thrilled to report viewings are up at School Mews compared to three months ago and actively has undoubtedly improved.

“There has been a definite revival in the second hand market which of course has had a positive effect on Rippon Homes as anyone who comes in to the shop will be pointed in the right direction if we think they are suited to the development.

“This increase in activity is due in part to purchasers believing that if they buy now they will be buying in to the bottom of the market, so hopefully this lift in buyer’s confidence will result in more sales at School Mews.”

School Mews is part of Rippon Homes’ prestigious Living Heritage range and just five are still available to buy. The remaining properties are in the styles of a Cranbrook, Eton House and a Radbourne. All these house types at School Mews are exclusive to this development.

The village boasts a wide range of amenities including shops, public houses and a medical centre which help to make Farnsfield an ideal location for community living.

Prices for a three- bedroom property at the development start from £199,995.
