Bag a bargain by buying off plan at Mill Gardens

Househunters are being offered the opportunity to make substantial savings by buying a property off-plan at Mill Gardens, George Wimpey North Yorkshire's new development in Norby, Thirsk. Buying a new home off-plan at the development offers a host of advantages, including having the pick of the plots and a guaranteed price, even if other properties of the same design on the development increase in value.

As well as potentially saving thousands of pounds, buyers also have the opportunity to influence the interior design of their home by choosing specific features such as the flooring and carpets, kitchen units and appliances, showers and bathroom suites.

Beverley Russell, field sales manager for George Wimpey North Yorkshire, said: "A major advantage of buying off-plan is that these properties are often priced below the current market value, which presents an obvious investment opportunity.

"It also gives buyers a rare opportunity to choose a plot with the best view or the biggest garden. Such plots are likely to sell rapidly and increase in value substantially once the houses have actually been built."

As with most new-build homes, buying off-plan also allows buyers to choose the interior fixture and fittings in their new home, and because many options are built in as each property is constructed, the earlier a property is reserved, the more choices there are.

Beverley commented: "Buying a new home is not just about finding the right location or the correct number of bedrooms. For many of our customers, the interior of the home and its fixtures and fittings form a big influencing factor when it comes to choosing somewhere to live.

"By buying a brand new property off-plan, homebuyers have the chance to personalise their new home and incorporate certain fixtures and fittings that suit their style. This means that when they move in they won't have to pay out to have features changed that someone else has selected."

But buying off-plan at Mill Gardens isn't just about bagging a great deal - it's also about securing a beautiful home in a fantastic setting.

Mill Gardens will offer a new range of two, three, four and five bedroom homes to Thirsk, in mews, townhouse and detached styles.

The development benefits from the attractive surroundings of Thirsk and, wider afield, the Vale of Mowbray. The North York Moors National Park is only a short drive from the development and as one of the finest landscapes in Britain, it offers residents miles of stunning heather, towering sea cliffs, secluded beaches and grassy dales. Thirsk racecourse is also nearby, as is The World of James Herriot, a museum dedicated to the life and works of the popular author.

One of the most impressive new homes at the development will be the Skipton, a stylish four bedroom house extending over three floors and coming complete with integral garage. The ground floor has a kitchen with dining area and cloakroom, while the first floor has a lounge, bedroom and main bathroom. Moving up to the second floor, there are a further three bedrooms, one which benefits from en-suite facilities. Prices start from just £199,950.

Also currently available are the three bedroom Parkland townhouse and the four bedroom detached Lindisfarne, with prices from £189,950 and £275,950 respectively.

Mill Gardens is perfectly located for transport with easy access to the A61, A19 and A1 (M) giving commuters easy access to northern towns and cities including Middlesbrough, Stockton, Newcastle, York and Leeds.
