Family favourites at Saxonfields

Everyone has their talents, and Barratt sales adviser Helen Peverell can easily count the ability to sell family homes among hers. At her current development, Saxonfields in Kirk Merrington, Helen predominantly sells homes to families and her experience working in the housing market means she has an excellent skill for guiding people through the ever-changing world of property purchase.

“There’s always this assumption that move-up buyers don’t need as much help as first-time buyers, which is quite often not the case,” said Helen.

“Many families probably only move house a handful of times in their whole lives, while the housing market is moving all the time, so buyers can have a pretty hard time keeping up with all the changes and understanding the new jargon. That’s why I always make sure my buyers are kept up to date every step of the way — and if they don’t understand something I explain it.

“It’s not just the jargon, of course: there are other aspects of move-up buying which bring fear to everyone, such as housing chains, gazumping and estate agents’ fees, and Barratt has ways to fight them too.”

Helen is now selling a range of family housing at Barratt’s Saxonfields development where 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes are priced from £201,000

Situated in private locations within this sought-after development, the properties come with the latest insulation, double glazing and central heating to help keep costs low.

One of Barratt’s long-standing family favourites which Helen is selling at Saxonfields is the 4 bedroom detached Ripon priced from £208,500. Apart from a few external design tweaks and the regular upgrading which all Barratt properties undergo the Ripon has maintained its same internal layout for around a decade such is the popularity of the design.

The ground floor features an entrance hall with staircase and it leads off into a bay windowed lounge, a separate dining room can seat up to eight people and it has French doors into the back garden. Adjoining the lounge is a fitted breakfasting kitchen with seating for four people, there is also a separate utility room and a downstairs wc. Upstairs the master bedroom has an en suite shower room while two more double bedrooms and a single bedroom share the family bathroom. This house also has an integral garage.

Saxonfields’ sales office and showhomes are open every day from 11am to 6pm. Visit the Barratt Homes website Barratthomes.co.uk for more information.
