Why buy new at St David’s Gardens?

It’s a challenging choice that many potential buyers face when they’re on the way up the property ladder – can they get that bigger house of their dreams in the second-hand market or will it just need so much work and TLC there’s no time to just enjoy life.

But can a new-build offer the character and space they’ve always dreamt of?

For people in the market for a move, who aren’t sure whether to go for a second-hand property or a new-build, there’s plenty of benefits to buying new.

Space, style and location are most definitely not compromised in the large three, four and five bedroom homes available at St David’s Gardens in Eskbank. With over 20 styles of homes to choose from, there’s plenty of choice to go round. Plus the space on offer will certainly challenge many competing second-hand properties.

With every room freshly decorated, floor-coverings and stunning contemporary kitchens already fitted to your specification, the ready-made luxury George Wimpey has created means that you can move-in, un-pack and just get on with every-day living. No DIY, or unnecessary and messy maintenance jobs!

But buying a new-build home doesn’t mean you have to pass on creating a great home that reflects your personality, as Karen Armstrong, sales and marketing director for George Wimpey East Scotland explains: “At George Wimpey, individual tastes are catered for, and customers can choose from our options range to make their house feel like home from day one. Plus we’ll also ensure that all work is completed by your move-in day, so our customers don’t even have to worry about juggling tradesmen and deliveries.

“Plus with the latest ranges from top brand names like Roca, Porcelanosa, Zanussi, and Amtico to choose from– customers can be sure they’re selecting products from the very best around.”

But there’s even more benefit to buying new than meets the eye as Karen continues: “Our homes are available for sale at a fixed price which allows customers to budget for exactly what they can afford. The ‘offers-over’ system in the second-hand property market can be stressful enough at anytime, but can be particularly disheartening when you miss-out on your dream home time after time.

“Plus George Wimpey’s Easymover scheme is also available for customers to make their move even smoother. This scheme means that George Wimpey will sell your property for you and pay all the costs associated with your move, and is available on selected plots at St David’s Gardens until 30 April, 2008.*

“Easymover is a great way to help customers get on the move. It’s is a straight-forward, straight-talking property transaction which gives you the peace of mind, security, and convenience that our agents are working on your behalf. It also gives you access to independent financial advice to ensure you choose the best mortgage package for you.

“Easymover also offers an excellent package of benefits designed to get our customers on the move with the minimum of financial cost. We’ll pay advertising costs to the value of £500; legal fees to the value of £500, all set-up costs and estate agency fees, and arrange two independent valuations on your property.

“You can’t lose in the Easymover scheme - if we find a buyer you’re on easy street and on the way to moving into your new George Wimpey home. But if no buyer is found for your property – it won’t have cost you a penny!”

Plus there are the unseen benefits to add to the equation of buying a new-build home as Karen adds: “As we’re all becoming more environmentally aware, a new-build home will also offer the benefits of energy-efficient appliances, gas central heating as well as UPVC glazing – making a new-build home comfortable, practical and economical to run from day one.”
