Buy a new home in Northants - before it's too late

House hunters in Northamptonshire have been so keen to snap up new Redrow homes that a double sell-out is on the cards in Corby and Desborough.

Only a handful of properties remain at Oakley Vale in Corby and The Grange in Desborough. Those in the market for a high quality, low maintenance new home should act fast to avoid disappointment.

“The popularity of the homes at The Grange and Oakley Vale is testament to the high standard of workmanship and the quality of customer service our customers have grown to expect from Redrow,” Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands), commented.

“Some people have fallen in love with the statement-making kitchens that boast integrated top brand name appliances; others appreciate the convenience of having an en-suite to the master bedroom; and some simply revel in the idea that no one else has ever lived in their new home.”

She added: “There’s something special about being the first people to live in a property. Buying a brand new home means you won’t wonder about the lifestyles of the previous occupants or inherit their decor.”

But that’s not the only advantage a new home has over the second hand sector. Redrow has calculated that it can cost around £30,000 to bring an older three-bedroom property up to the same high standard of one of its stylish new homes.

“Savvy buyers understand that while an older property may come with a smaller price tag, it may need lots of repairs and renovations. The cost of installing a new kitchen, appliances and bathrooms plus energy efficient heating, replacement windows and a whole host of other features soon adds up. By purchasing a new home instead of an older second hand property, house hunters could save themselves a small fortune in DIY costs, not to mention time and energy,” Pauline explained.

Between the two developments there’s a choice of two, three, four and five-bedroom homes, with prices from £108,995 to £259,995. It means that whatever your housing needs, there’s a Redrow home for you in Northamptonshire.

“Despite the limited availability, there’s still plenty to choose from. The two-bedroom properties at Oakley Vale, in Corby, make ideal starter homes and are also well-suited to downsizers and empty nesters; while the four-bedroom homes available at both Oakley Vale and The Grange are great for families in need of extra space,” Pauline added.

“And with part-exchange considered, those with a home of their own to sell could find that making their next move on the property ladder is easier and quicker than they expected. Under part-exchange we buy the customer’s old home so they can buy one of beautiful brand new homes. It means there’s no need to worry about getting caught up in a complicated chain and there are no estate agent’s fees to pay.”
