Ring the changes with a brand new home in Horwich

With quality-built homes at lower than ever prices and a choice of cash saving offers, the New Year brings with it the perfect opportunity for buyers to start afresh in their ideal home, says Redrow.

The award-winning housebuilder believes the combination of attractive deals being offered at all its developments across the north west, including Arcon Village, in Horwich, together with the wide choice of homes available at extremely competitive prices, mean it's never been a better time for buyers.

Buying from Redrow also brings with it access to a network of mortgage advisers, solicitors, estate agents and other property professionals who all want one thing - to help get you moving.

Christine Aitken, sales director for Redrow Homes (North), says: "It is now a time of opportunity for homebuyers to take advantage of some of the attractive deals that are currently available and secure themselves a brand new home that should also save them money on their heating and fuel bills.

"With some excellent incentives and unbelievably low prices available on new-build - including properties below the new stamp duty threshold - it's definitely a buyer's market.

"Our ability to help with a deposit, stamp duty and other moving costs or to maybe take a customer's existing property in part-exchange, gives new homes the edge over the second hand and rental market, in the current climate."

Buyers opting to purchase a brand new home over a second hand dwelling should save financially in the long run. At first glance an older property might appear cheaper but renovating it to the same standards as a new-build could force the purchaser to dig deep into their pockets.

Christine adds: "The new homes at all our developments throughout the north west, come complete with a high specification, including quality fixtures and fittings, modern kitchens and bathrooms, central heating, double glazing and no need for costly renovation.

"Also at a time of rising energy prices, new homes have been shown to save people up to £556 per annum on their fuel costs* - and that was before the latest large increase in gas and electricity costs. Those savings will go a long way to help boost the amount of money people can have in their pockets or help pay the mortgage."

Redrow has something for every type of buyer with its range of developments, including the unique Arcon Village on the edge of Horwich.

Arcon Village started life as 18th century bleach works and is now being transformed by Redrow into a collection of bespoke homes in beautiful rural surroundings.

In line with their Grade II listed status, each stone built property is being delicately restored to encapsulate the essence of the area's industrial heritage and the venture comprises 140 bespoke apartments, town houses and mews-style cottages with prices starting from £185,000.
