Black Country buyers choose to stay local

George Wimpey West Midlands has just six properties remaining at its Wesley Gardens development on Bank Street, which is a flagship £17 million regeneration scheme made up of 125 new homes. So, local homebuyers need to get a move on if they want to maintain the time honoured local tradition of trading up and staying close to home.

Sales & marketing director, Carol Edwards (who herself hails from Walsall), explains: “The vast majority of our sales at Wesley Gardens have been to families living nearby – all within a five mile radius - who like the area but are looking to trade up and/or need more space. It’s a good old Black Country tradition to stay local amongst loved ones and friends and we’re delighted to be able to meet demand for quality new housing at really affordable prices.

“Wesley Gardens builds on our previous Wesley Park development nearby and continues the long standing tradition of George Wimpey West Midlands in and around West Bromwich. Indeed, quite a few sales have been to families from the Wesley Park estate completed a few years ago, who simply wanted to upgrade. Even our investors are locals who know about this tradition and have tapped into the fact that those renting also like to stay close to home and in familiar surroundings.”

Last availability at Wesley Gardens includes the three bedroom mews Hanbury with two parking spaces from just £129,995. And the three bedroom semi detached Newbold is a delightful corner plot, also with two allocated parking spaces, for only £154,995. The final properties all have great views over the area of public open space that fronts the whole of one end of the development – which will act as a focal point and congregation area for locals already big on community spirit.

Last, but certainly not least, the extremely popular Claverdon three bedroom semi detached showhome has also been made available – as seen – for the knockdown price of £149,995. But this does include £22,000 of luxury fixtures, fittings and extras and is a fantastic opportunity for a West Brom local to start living the designer lifestyle straight away!
