Moving’s as easy as packing a suitcase

When Ben Watt made his move to Pages Priory, George Wimpey South Midlands’ popular development in Leighton Buzzard, all he needed to do was pack a suitcase. The lucky 25-year-old spotted the beautiful ‘Beaumont’ showhome for sale and knew it was the house for him. “I wanted something clean and crisp-looking, and the light and airy design and the style of the decoration in the showhome really appealed,” says Ben.

“Throughout the walls are white, with cream carpets, and the kitchen has a fresh, duck-egg blue finish.”

Better still, included in the purchase price the first-time buyer received all the super-stylish furniture, curtains and light fittings – and even the pictures on the walls!

“It was great being able to move straight in,” adds Ben, “I’d been living with my parents in Kings Langley in Hertfordshire and they tell me it’s the easiest move they’ve ever seen someone make.

“I used George Wimpey’s easymover programme, which paid the 5% deposit and stamp duty, and the sales office staff were excellent – always available to help with any questions which cropped up along the way.”

Ben works from home as a business development manager and has converted his spacious second bedroom into an office. He travels all over the country to see clients, and regularly visits his company’s headquarters in London.

“Travelling from home has been very straightforward,” he explains, “The development is on the edge of Leighton Buzzard and so there’s no problem with traffic, and reaching the A5 and the M1 takes just a few minutes. I use the town train station to get to Euston and that journey takes only 35 minutes.”

The ‘Beaumont’ is one of three award-winning showhomes at Pages Priory, which earlier this year picked up the Best Showhome Complex title in the leading housebuilder’s Production Quality Awards.

Pages Priory also won Hotproperty Magazine’s ‘Best Value for Money’ award in 2006, and customers can currently choose from two-bedroom apartments from £170,995, three-bedroom homes from £223,995 and four bedroom properties available from £269,995.

Like the showhome Ben purchased, all new homes at Pages Priory enjoy a high standard specification including gas central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Pages Priory is ideally situated just over a mile from Leighton Buzzard town centre, offering a wide choice of high street and independent stores and leisure amenities. Schools catering for children of all ages and health services are also nearby.

Quick links to London make the development highly desirable for commuters -the A5 and soon to be widened M1 are within easy reach, putting London just an hour away by car, while the town rail station offers regular services to the City and the North.

George Wimpey’s easymover programme offers a range of attractive incentives for purchasers of selected properties including support for first time buyers - while customers with a house to sell can reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder helps to find a buyer for their current property.

Incentives can be tailored to homebuyers’ circumstances and are subject to availability. Further details are available from the Sales Executive.

Further information is available by visiting the Sales Centre, located off Johnson Drive, Leighton Buzzard, and open seven days a week from 11am to 5pm.
