Become an easy-mover at Hunters Park

Leading housebuilder Taylor Wimpey is urging property seekers in Norwich to get The Facts – and discover why using the Easymover scheme to purchase a new home at the Hunters Park development in Queen’s Hills, Costessey, could be the best move they’ll ever make.

At a time when the media is awash with conflicting and confusing reports about the state of the property market, Taylor Wimpey East Anglia is highlighting some very good reasons why now is the perfect time to buy.

FACT: It can take an average of around six months to sell a home in the Norwich area* – using Easymover it takes an average of five weeks

FACT: Taylor Wimpey helped hundreds of homeowners to sell their existing property during 2009, and paid their estate agency fees!

FACT: Interest rates are at their lowest since records began, making mortgage rates more affordable

FACT: Mortgage approvals more than doubled during 2009 (Bank of England), and net lending is predicted to increase from £8 billion to £15 billion over the next 12 months (Council of Mortgage Lenders)

FACT: The average home in Norfolk has increased in value by more than £7,000 since May 2009, yet remains 1.9% lower in price than in November 2008 (Land Registry)

Selected family-size homes at Hunters Park are available with the leading housebuilder’s Easymover incentive.

Under this stress-free scheme, purchasers can choose their new dream home and then let Taylor Wimpey find a buyer for their current property.

While the average selling time for Easymover customers is just five weeks, many see their homes sold within the first fortnight. Ninety per cent of properties are sold successfully through the initiative, and the typical timescale from sale to exchange of contracts is just 10 weeks.

Stacy Dornan, Associate Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, says: “We know how difficult it can be to sell a property – and the time-consuming and stressful process is often the last thing movers need when they’ve got their hearts set on the home of their dreams.

“Our Easymover scheme has been specifically designed to help make buying and moving to one of our high-quality homes at Hunters Park simple and stress-free.

“We make all the arrangements and can even foot the estate agent’s bill – so all our customers have to do is sit back, relax and look forward to their big move!”

An impressive selection of homes is now available at Hunters Park, with prices ranging from only £149,995 for the three-bedroom ‘Weston’ and just £224,995 for the four-bedroom ‘Stebbing’, through to £249,995 for the five-bedroom ‘Sandringham’ – superb value for money in such a sought-after location.

The magnificent detached ‘Sandringham’ is an ideal choice for those keen to take advantage of current low interest rates and the rising property market, and boasts an appealing double frontage and an attractive entrance porch, with a light and airy kitchen/breakfast room – the ideal space for entertaining – at its heart.

The ground floor is completed by a spacious lounge, a separate dining room, a home study and a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway, while the lounge and kitchen/breakfast room each open through French doors to the private rear garden.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to a splendid master bedroom with dressing room and en-suite shower room, a second en-suite bedroom, a fifth bedroom and a family bathroom, while the top floor is shared comfortably by two further bedrooms and an additional shower room.

The ‘Sandringham’ also includes a garage and, like all new homes at Hunters Park, is completed to a high standard specification, including central heating, double glazing, a fitted kitchen with integrated stainless steel oven, hob and hood and bathware from Roca.

Hunters Park builds on the success of Taylor Wimpey’s two previous brand new homes collections at Queen’s Hills Country Park – including the popular Queen’s Hills development, which is selling fast under the leading housebuilder’s Laing Homes brand.

Located on the outskirts of the village of Costessey and bordering Norfolk’s picturesque Tud valley, Hunters Park combines all the advantages of living in an established village with the benefits of brand new facilities to accompany this expanding neighbourhood, including local shopping, a community centre and a primary school.

Costessey itself is just six miles from Norwich, which puts top-quality shopping, sports and cultural amenities all within easy reach, along with frequent rail services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich International Airport.

And with the Norfolk Broads and miles of unspoilt coastline also close by, a home at Hunters Park is perfectly placed for making the most of one of Britain’s most attractive counties.

To find out more about the choice of homes now available for reservation, visit the Sales Centre, located off Poethlyn Drive, Costessey, and open Thursday to Sunday from 9am to 4pm and Monday from 1.30pm to 4pm.
