Bag a bargain by buying off-plan at Mezzo

Househunters are being offered the opportunity to make substantial savings by buying a property off-plan at Mezzo, George Wimpey’s stylish new development in Halfway.

Buying a new home off-plan at the development offers a host of advantages, including having the pick of the plots and a guaranteed price, even if other properties of the same design on the development increase in value.

As well as potentially saving thousands of pounds, buyers also have the opportunity to influence the interior design of their home by choosing specific features such as the flooring and carpets, kitchen units and appliances.

Anne Bagshaw, sales and marketing director for George Wimpey South Yorkshire, says: “A major advantage of buying off-plan is that these properties can often be priced below the current market value, which presents an obvious investment opportunity.

“It also gives buyers a rare opportunity to choose a plot with the best view or a corner plot with the biggest garden. Such plots are likely to sell rapidly and increase in value substantially once the houses have actually been built. Getting in early before a brick has even been laid can serve buyers well financially in the long run.”

As with most new-build homes, buying off-plan also allows buyers to choose the interior fixture and fittings in their new home, and because many options are built in as each property is constructed, the earlier a property is reserved, the more choices there are.

Anne comments: “Buying a new home is not just about finding the right location or the correct number of bedrooms. To many of our customers, the interior of the home and its fixtures and fittings form a big influencing factor when it comes to choosing somewhere to live.

"By buying a brand new property, homebuyers have the chance to personalise their new home and incorporate certain fixtures and fittings that suit their style. This means that when they move in, unlike second-hand home buyers, they won’t have to pay out to have features changed that someone else has selected.”

Situated in the heart of Halfway on the outskirts of Sheffield with Halfway tram stop only a few minutes away, Mezzo is ideal for those who work in the city. It is also less than a mile from Crystal Peaks shopping centre and retail outlet, with its onsite cinema, health club and selection of bars and restaurants.

The development comprises a mix of two bedroom apartments, three bedroom mews homes and three and four bedroom townhouses with prices starting at just £144,995 for an apartment.
