New homes in Ipswich combine quality with affordability

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 it's never been a better time for buyers thanks to a combination of attractive deals being offered at all its developments and a wide choice of homes at extremely competitive prices.

This is certainly the case at Bramford Gardens, in Ipswich, a new venture just two miles from Ipswich town centre, which will eventually feature a vibrant mix of properties from two-bedroom apartments to three and four-bedroom homes.

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.

Beryl Williams, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Eastern), says: "Homebuyers can now take advantage of some very attractive deals 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.

Beryl adds: "The new homes at all our developments 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 at a wide choice of locations, including Bramford Gardens, in Ipswich. Once within the development, it offers surprisingly quiet, semi-rural surroundings, close to the River Gipping, yet only two miles from Ipswich town centre and all its amenities.

It also offers convenient road and rail links to places further afield, including London, Cambridge and Norwich, making it an ideal abode for commuters.

Currently there are a range of three and four-bedroom homes available, with prices starting from £89,995.
