Get out of town to get more home for your money

Money-conscious movers in Leicestershire are finding they can save a packet on a brand new family-sized home, simply by turning their backs on city living.
By getting away from cramped conditions and the hustle and bustle of the busy centre, clued-up buyers are finding a higher quality of life in peaceful ‘out-of-town’ locations – and could save around £80,000!
For example, Taylor Wimpey’s The Fairway development in Humberstone, on the north-east fringes of Leicester, is close to miles of beautiful open countryside, yet enjoys everyday amenities on the doorstep – and it’s very well placed for commuting into the city centre.
But better still, whereas a typical four-bedroom home in urban Leicester costs more than £260,000*, customers choosing a brand new four-bedroom home at The Fairway will pay as little as £180,495 – an immediate £79,500 saving.
Just one of the four-bedroom homes at The Fairway is the stylish three-storey ‘Mallow’, available from only £180,495.
Ideal for families and for those seeking a beautifully laid-out home from which they can also work, the ground-floor accommodation is characterised by a large combined kitchen/family room with French doors to the rear garden, and has a light and airy entrance hallway with access to a guest cloakroom and integral garage.
Upstairs, the landing leads to a spacious lounge, a bedroom/office and a handy washroom, while the top floor is comfortably shared by a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a main bathroom.
Like all new homes at the development, the ‘Mallow’ benefits from a high standard specification including central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen complete with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Kelly French, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey East Midlands, says: “More and more people are taking the opportunity to work from home for at least part of the week, while enjoying a more laid-back and well-balanced way of living in delightful new homes away from our town centres.
“By moving out of town, clever buyers can secure a lot more home for their money!”
House-hunters choosing a brand new Taylor Wimpey home can also benefit from a range of time and money-saving incentives for first-time buyers and those with a property to sell.
Taylor Wimpey’s easymover programme provides a range of special incentives on selected properties for first-time buyers, while customers with a property to sell can reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder finds a buyer for their current property – and pays the estate agents’ fees.
Customers can also take advantage of the leading housebuilder’s House 2 Home bespoke moving package comprising free UK removal regardless of distance or size of property, full packing and unpacking service and insurance cover.
Incentives can be tailored to customers’ individual circumstances and are subject to availability. Further information is available from the Sales Executive.
Located three miles from Leicester city centre, The Fairway is close to a selection of local amenities, including Rowlatts Hill and Balderstone Close primary schools, plus a good choice of pubs and a golf club.
For commuters, the A47 is a short distance by road, while Leicester railway station provides fast, regular services to Birmingham, Nottingham, Peterborough and London St Pancras. The M1 and Nottingham East Midlands Airport are also within easy reach of the development.
