Watlington buyers are on profit with off-plan

Watlington househunters are wising up to the benefits of buying a property off plan, says Persimmon Homes East Midlands.

The leading housebuilder has found a notable number of purchasers are buying homes ‘off plan’ at the company’s Martingales development in Watlington.

Carrie Warren, field sales manager for Persimmon Homes East Midlands, explains: “Buyers are able to visit the development’s showhome, look at plans and artists’ impressions, and see the plot on which a home will be built – enabling them to make an informed choice when they come to buy their new property.”

At Martingales, the company has a fine selection of housetypes which are available off plan, these include a choice range of three and four bedroom homes in a number of differing styles. Prices for the homes now start at £159,995 for the attractive three bedroom Dale design.

Carrie continues: “Some people might be a little apprehensive about buying a home that they can’t yet see. But buying off plan has some great advantages. For instance if a buyer wants to upgrade items in their chosen property from our 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 the house after you move in.”

Martingales is constructed around a series of cul-de-sacs, making it a peaceful place to call home, eliminating the worry of through traffic. At the centre of the site is an area of public open space for residents to enjoy. The development is set in the delightful village of Watlington close to the estuary of the River Great Ouse.

Families will love Martingales, as the growing community has everything you could possibly want for day-to-day living, including a post office and shop, pub, sports and social club, medical centre and county primary school.
