Redrow boosts New Homes Week in Malton

Award-winning Redrow has been adding its strength to ‘New Homes Week’ by calculating why buying a brand new home equals better value and financial savings than an older property.

Run by the New Homes Marketing Board, New Homes Week (Sept 12-20) was designed to highlight all the benefits that come with owning a brand new property, such as energy efficiency, no expensive renovation costs and easy maintenance.

Meanwhile Redrow has taken the theme a step further and calculated that the cost of bringing an older second hand property up to the same standard as a new Redrow home could be as much as £30,000*, not to mention the huge outlay of time and energy involved.

By contrast, in the homes at Priorpot Mews in Malton, everything has already been done to a very high standard, with an up to date specification and highly polished finish that is easy to maintain and keep clean. The new homes also carry the added reassurance of a two-year guarantee for any fitted appliances and the National Home-Building Council (NHBC) 10-year ‘Buildmark’ warranty.

Previous research has shown that a brand new home is also up to 40% more efficient than one built at the beginning of the decade, which should also mean lower fuel bills.

And, with recent reports showing consecutive month on month upturns in house prices, now could be just the right time to buy at Priorpot Mews, which currently has a selection of properties available.

Patsy Aicken, sales manager for Redrow, said: “There are so many overriding benefits to owning a brand new home compared to a second hand property and the national New Homes Week campaign highlights this perfectly.

“Priorpot Mews is a development that ticks all of the boxes when it comes to quality, location and price, but buyers don’t have to just take my word for it they can come down to the development and see for themselves.”

A recent survey by Nationwide found that house prices rose for the fourth consecutive month in August, by 1.6%** indicating that the window of opportunity to pick up the best buys in popular areas could be closing.

Priorpot Mews currently has a selection of three and four-bedroom properties starting from £144,995. And for those customers with an existing property to sell, Redrow is offering part-exchange on selected properties. Subject to terms and conditions, this sees Redrow effectively acting as a ‘cash buyer’ for their current property, paving the way to a quick and easy move to a brand new home with no danger of being stuck in a housing chain.

Priorpot Mews offers home owners the best of both worlds. Situated in Norton, within walking distance of Malton town centre, it’s convenient for all local amenities as well as the A64, which offers easy access to York; yet it is also ideally located for country walks and the coastal areas of Scarborough, Filey and Whitby.
