Homebuyers ‘net’ new homes

With Brits working the longest hours in Europe and having fewer hours to spend with the kids and as a family, finding the time to view new homes is becoming increasingly difficult. The stress of moving home, however, is being reduced as increasing numbers of homebuyers choose the Internet to do the hard work for them.

Househunting on the internet is proving so popular that leading housebuilder Persimmon Homes East Midlands has redesigned its website to assist househunters find their dream home at the click of a button.

In the last six months, Persimmon Homes East Midlands has seen a noticeable increase in internet purchasers, with requests for brochures via the website increasing by a third since the new website was launched.

Adrian Evans, managing director for the region comments: “It is the effectiveness, speed and convenience of the web that makes it so popular. Internet searching is particularly effective for buyers of new homes, many of whom move for job re-location reasons and have little time for the traditional method of browsing estate agents’ windows. Buying a new home already has many proven advantages. But the ability of the Internet to allow new home buyers to search for their dream home anywhere in the country and at any time is ideal.”

“Moving house is invariably a stressful time. But much stress and expense can be alleviated by avoiding the time-consuming leg work,” concludes Adrian.

Persimmon Homes East Midlands is currently building at a number of developments across the region with sites in Huntingdon, Peterborough, St Neots, Longstanton, Grantham, Cambridge, Cambourne, Navenby, Bourne, Boston, Waltington, Witham St. Hughs, Newark and West Lynn.
