Cherry pick the home of your dreams with Persimmon

Littleport househunters are wising up to the benefits of buying a house off plan, says Persimmon Homes East Midlands as the company is seeing a number of its properties at its Holmewood development being snapped up by eager purchasers.

Steve Matthews, sales director for Persimmon Homes East Midlands, states: "Buying off plan gives purchasers the advantage of cherry picking the best plots and reserving the best homes fresh from the drawing board, enabling people to purchase a property, whilst taking advantage of some fantastic deals we're currently offering."

Buyers also have the advantage of being also to upgrade items in their chosen property from Persimmon's Finishing Touches range, this can be carried out at build stage at a competitive cost - thus avoiding the expense and inconvenience of having builders in your home after you move in.

Due to the stage of build at Holmewood, Persimmon has a range of homes which purchasers are still able to personalise through Finishing Touches. With its selection of two and four bedroom homes, the development boasts properties ideally suited to first time buyers, couples and families. Prices range from £134,950* to £219,995 and the company is prepared to pay the five per cent deposit paid, making buying both an attractive and affordable option.

The show apartment, which has now been launched gives visitors an idea of how these beautiful homes can look. Professionally styled with a range of soft creams and rich browns, it's quickly becoming the envy of all who take a look.

Steve concludes: "In terms of lifestyle, buying off-plan allows a purchaser plenty of time to prepare for the move. Knowing the moving date is perhaps months down the line, purchasers can afford to take the time to choose the right schools, find out how to commute to work and research leisure activities in the area. With all of these things already organised, purchasers can look forward to a stress-free move."

The village of Littleport hosts all the necessary amenities including shops, restaurants and pubs as well as good local schools, healthcare facilities and sports centre. Just a short drive away is the bustling cathedral city of Ely and Cambridge is just a 30 minute journey. Littleport train station provides direct access to London's Kings Cross station, meaning a commute to the City is just an hour.
