Buying in Milton Keynes could cost less than renting
Would-be homeowners living in rented accommodation could save on their monthly outgoings by choosing a brand new home at Taylor Wimpey’s Oxley Woods development of property for sale in Milton Keynes.
Aspiring homebuyers who fear they are stuck in a rental rut are being urged to visit Taylor Wimpey’s award-winning Oxley Woods development of new homes in Milton Keynes – and discover how they could cut their monthly outgoings by owning a brand new eco-home at the cutting edge of modern design!
Just a handful of three and four-bedroom townhouses now remain within this sought-after collection of stylish contemporary houses for sale in Milton Keynes designed by the architects behind the iconic Pompidou Centre in Paris and London’s O2 Arena.
But purchasers aren’t being charged a premium for these designer properties in Milton Keynes – in fact, with prices starting from as little as £199,995, the mortgage repayments on a beautiful new property at Oxley Woods could be less than £600* per month, almost £200 less than the average cost of renting a similar sized home in Milton Keynes.
Steve Rolt, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey South Midlands, says: “The fantastic value for money on offer for our high-quality Milton Keynes properties at Oxley Woods really does explode the myth that renting is cheaper than buying a property.
“When you consider that the average cost of renting a three-bedroom property in Milton Keynes is £789** every month, it’s clear to see that the potential annual savings by purchasing a brand new home at this stunning development could run into the thousands.
“The only note of caution I would sound is that with prices this good, the great-value new houses in Milton Keynes at Oxley Woods won’t be available for long – so buyers will have to act quickly if they want to avoid missing out.”
The stunning ‘Type G’ townhouse at Plot 44 is just one of the three-bedroom homes on sale now at Oxley Woods and is priced at just £199,995.
Packed with character, this stunning three-storey property boasts a generous open-plan kitchen/lounge/dining room at its heart, and a shower room or utility room off the entrance hallway.
The first floor is characterised by a light and airy living room, a bedroom which could alternatively be used as a home office, and a bathroom, while the top floor comprises two double bedrooms, and a further bathroom. Outside, the property benefits from allocated parking and a private rear garden.
Meanwhile, two spacious four-bedroom ‘Type E’ townhouses are available from just £225,000 at Oxley Woods.
Aside from its superb location close to central Milton Keynes, the M1 and the beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside, Oxley Woods’ pioneering design by world-renowned architects Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners has seen it set the national standard for eco-friendly housing.
Each home at the development is constructed from sustainable materials and employs unique features including ‘EcoHat’ chimneys, which filter fresh air and re-use hot air to optimise energy consumption and provide passive solar water heating.
Properties are designed to exceed the Government’s sustainability targets with carbon emissions 50% lower than typical homes. This high standard is achieved through measures such as the use of ultra-effective insulation made from recycled paper, plus sealed glass panel windows which keep heat locked inside.
All of the homes at Oxley Woods achieve maximum National Home Energy Rating and ‘Very Good’ EcoHomes classification, and water wastage is kept to a minimum through innovations such as membrane roofing and watertight wall cladding to increase rainfall runoff, which is diverted to large capacity water butts.
Among the sustainable materials used in the construction of homes at the development is ‘Trespa’ panel cladding, which uses 70% softwood from European renewable forests. The Lifetime Homes-accredited buildings are precision engineered off site to allow them to be quickly and economically erected while maintaining build quality.
They are not only cost effective and ecologically sound, but their positioning on the site offers a true ‘place for people’, providing an environment that encourages interaction through well designed public and private spaces.
