First time buyer surveys his options

For any buyer, finding the perfect first home can sometimes be a daunting task.Steve Brown, assistant quantity surveyor, for David Wilson Homes South West based in Bristol, knows this feeling all too well.

After surveying multiple properties both professionally and personally he has now found his ideal home in the form of a two bedroom apartment at David Wilson Homes ’ Beaufort Vale development in Siston.

It’s certainly not unusual for employees from the house builder to purchase a David Wilson Home, but having a hand in the building process of a property is a real opportunity for any home owner, but particularly for Steve as a first time buyer.

Steve explains: “As I work as an assistant quantity surveyor I have to asses numerous properties on a daily basis. As an employee of David Wilson Homes, I know that they build properties that are of the highest standards; from the structure of the property to the little details in the kitchen and bathroom like the integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer, and as a first time buyer it all makes a big difference to making that first step onto the property ladder.

“I chose to purchase a new home to avoid any problems buyers often face when purchasing older properties, however as a David Wilson Homes employee, I knew that if in the unlikely event a problem occurred with my new home, then David Wilson Homes’ Customer Service team would be there to provide valuable assistance in resolving the issue.”

Following completion of the site, Steve snapped up the opportunity to purchase the two bedroom ground floor apartment situated within his local area.

“The design and finish of the apartment has really been considered and is not typical of what you might expect from an apartment property. Attention to detail and designing around how people live, means that my apartment has a real flow. The apartment has a fantastic spacious kitchen and living area, perfect for when I’m entertaining family and friends.”

Steve continues: “The Beaufort Vale development is perfect as I work within the immediate area, and is also close to my friends and family. The development is also only a short commute to Bristol for nights out and the surroundings of the development look great. The development also has secure parking, another factor that was high on my property requirements.”

The perfect first step!

Barry Stiles, regional sales director for David Wilson Homes South West, comments: “Buying a house is never as straight forward as it seems and so making sure a new home is not only appealing, but also meets the needs of a range of house buyers is certainly a main priority. With this is mind, the inspiring new Beaufort Vale development combines luxury with a superb location, making it the ideal place for any first time buyer like Steve to enter into the house market.”
