Step up the property ladder at Greenacres
Homeowners with doubts over the strength of the housing market are being reassured that the time is now right to take their next step up the property ladder – and choose their dream home at Taylor Wimpey’s Greenacres development.
The leading housebuilder wants those who may be put off making their move to be aware of The Facts when it comes to trading their old property for new, and discover how the new homes collection in Stotfold, Bedfordshire, could be perfect for them.
FACT: House prices in Bedfordshire have increased steadily over the past six months, with the typical home adding more than £20,000 to its value since June 2009 (Land Registry)
FACT: The number of mortgage approvals doubled during 2009 (Bank of England) and net lending is expected to double in 2010 (Council of Mortgage Lenders)
FACT: Taylor Wimpey helped hundreds of homeowners sell their homes in 2009, and the housebuilder’s amazing easymover and Part Exchange schemes make trading in an existing property hassle-free
Steve Rolt, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Many homeowners may be unwilling to put their current property up for sale because of uncertainty over the state of the housing market, but when you look at The Facts from the most reliable sources, it’s clear that now is an ideal opportunity to move.
“Rising property prices mean sellers are increasingly likely to achieve a good price for their home, the improving availability of good mortgage deals is making stepping up the ladder easier, and the range of incentives now available at Greenacres can make moving house remarkably easy. Anyone interested in finding out more should contact us without delay.”
Under Taylor Wimpey’s easymover initiative, customers with a home to sell can sit back and relax while the housebuilder finds a buyer for their current property in as little as a fortnight. The package can also include help with estate agents’ fees and moving house.
The Part Exchange scheme provides an accurate valuation for a customer’s existing property based on three independent estimates, before deducting the agreed value from the purchase price of a new Taylor Wimpey home.
Part Exchange is available now on selected homes at Greenacres, including the impressive four-bedroom ‘Framlingham’ at Plot 62 with carport and additional parking, which is ready to move into now from only £349,995.
This magnificent double-fronted property is laid out in an attractive L-shaped design, with a spacious lounge and large kitchen/breakfast room each enjoying separate access to the private rear garden, a separate dining room and a convenient guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the landing leads to a master bedroom with en-suite facilities, three further good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Like all new homes at Greenacres, it is completed to a high standard specification including double glazing, central heating and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood. And to make this highly desirable home even more appealing, the lucky purchaser who reserves the ‘Framlingham’ at Plot 62 will receive additional kitchen appliances and flooring included in the price tag!
Part Exchange is also available on the five-bedroom ‘Richmond’, priced £349,995, while a host of other stylish homes are also ready to reserve now, including the three-bedroom ‘Asplin’ from £249,995, and four-bedroom designs such as the ‘Eaglesham’ from £269,995, the ‘Azalea’ from £349,995 and the ‘Stafford’ from £399,995.
Located on the southern edge of Stotfold, Greenacres enjoys easy access to the town’s shops and businesses catering for everyday needs, including a small supermarket, a newsagents, a bakery, a pharmacy, a library, a church, a hairdresser and a garage.
