Suzanne (28) an accounts assistant and husband Mark (31), an engineer both live and work in the local are and know Basingstoke well.

“We saw the development listed on an internet property site and decided to pop in. Seeing the show home really helped us to visualise what can be done with the blank canvas of a new home. We also had our own home to sell so the Part Exchange opportunity was a real bonus for us.

“We were very impressed with the build quality of the show home and the service provided by the staff on site was superb. Both factors were instrumental in our decision to purchase. There was positive communication from the sales team throughout the selling process, which took just 8 weeks in total.”

Our new house is just perfect; we’ve a garden and so much space now. It has really improved our quality of life. We’re already having friends over to enjoy it with us!”

Sandra Barton, Sales Director for Bellway Wessex, said: “Part exchange takes the stress and hassle out of the home-buying process, as, subject to valuation, buyers who use the scheme receive a guaranteed offer within 7 days and contracts can be exchanged quickly. The service is free and there are no estate agents or HIPS fees to pay, saving buyers a significant amount of money that could be spent on furnishings for their new home.

“The combination of quality, well designed homes and their proximity to excellent local amenities has ensured a high level of interest in homes at Skippetts Gardens. With our part exchange offer we are making it even easier for people to own their dream home.”

Sandra Barton, continued: “Skippetts Gardens is set in a sought-after, quiet location, backing onto woodland and is adjacent to Skippetts House. The development is very desirable with a wide range of house styles to suit everyone.”
