Taylor Wimpey North Midlands Sales and Marketing Director Carl Cooke shows how buying a new home off-plan in the early stages of a Taylor Wimpey development can offer a host of added benefits for purchasers.

We all know the search for an ideal home can be frustrating and it’s partly because everyone’s idea of perfection is different – whether they’re thinking about kitchen cupboards, bathroom tiles or lounge carpets, it all comes down to personal choice.

What’s the answer? By far the best way for property-seekers to make sure their dream home is just that – rather than someone else’s – is to buy a brand new Taylor Wimpey property off-plan, in the early stages of a development.

Through Taylor Wimpey’s range of stylish interior Options, buyers can treat their new home as a blank canvas and ensure it is completed to their personal specifications before they have even been handed the keys.

All of these superb Options are from top manufacturers and include upgraded bathrooms and kitchen units, worktops and appliances; flooring, carpets and tiling; switches, sockets and downlighters; fireplaces and fitted wardrobes – and even patios and fencing.

Prices are often well below what you’d pay in the high street, everything comes with a two-year guarantee, and because many Options are built in as the new home is constructed, purchasers can take advantage of more choices the earlier they reserve.

Of course, location is also an all-important factor when it comes to choosing a dream home – and buying off-plan can help here too.

Anyone who registers an interest in a development before it opens can be sure of being among the first to receive information about properties as they become available – which means they can take their pick of the plots on offer.

One of the features of many contemporary housing developments is the variety of house and apartment types, which create attractive streets and offer a wealth of choice to buyers – but it does mean that there are often limited numbers of any particular property type.

So if purchasers have their heart set on a certain house design in a cul-de-sac, or want the apartment with the best view, for example, getting in early is the easiest way to achieve this.

Finally, buying off-plan at the earliest possible stage can often reap financial rewards as many developers offer lower pre-showhome prices – so by choosing early, purchasers are not just getting exactly the home they want, they’re also paying less for it too!

Once the purchaser has made their off-plan reservation, the price of their new home is guaranteed until it is ready to move into, even if the cost of similar properties within the same development increases in the meantime.

Admittedly, it can be difficult to visualise the new community being created at a development before the builders have started work in earnest, but it’s important not to be put off at this stage as the benefits of being ahead of the game are clear to see.

Using a little imagination and planning ahead can make all the difference to getting a dream home for less!
