Show homes boost sales at Thornaby development

Eager house hunters are keeping Barratt sales adviser June Thompson on her toes at Mandale Park in Thornaby, where three stylish new showhomes have opened.
The showhomes are packed with up-to-the-minute colours and contemporary furnishings and offer potential buyers the opportunity to visualise the mark they could make on their own home at the popular development.
June said: “We’ve seen a marked increase in visitors and sales since we launched the showhomes. They offer a great opportunity for visitors to come along and see for themselves the style and quality of the homes we’re building here.
“Mandale Park is in a great location, with schools, shops and leisure amenities on the doorstep, plus Thornaby’s new town centre and Teesside Retail Park. The A19 is only a few minutes’ drive away and there are good bus services too.”
Homes released for sale in the new phase comprise 2, 3 and 4-bedroom designs, offering space, style and value for money for first-time buyers and families. Most have parking for two cars.
The housebuilder’s Home of the Week is a 4-bedroom ‘Ripon’ family home which is available with part exchange and comes compete with carpets and white goods.
This superb 4-bedroom detached house is a Barratt best-seller and offers almost 1,100 sq ft of versatile living space. It includes a breakfasting kitchen, spacious living room, dining room, utility room and integral garage. The main bedroom has an en suite.
It is priced at £187,500 and Barratt could buy your old place in just seven days through its part exchange service.
There are no estate agents’ fees to pay, you side-step most of the hassle and cost usually associated with selling and because Barratt is a guaranteed cash buyer, there’s no dreaded ‘chain’ or last-minute price haggling.
Fenton Hewitt, Sales Director at Barratt North East, said: “We’ve been offering part exchange for more than 30 years but we’ve never had so many people looking to take advantage of it.
“People are coming to us who are understandably keen to move up the property ladder now. Because of the fall in house prices in the last four years, the gap between the price of your present home and the one you want to move up to is likely to be significantly smaller than it was in 2007.
“This probably sounds like a very good deal to anyone currently struggling to sell their old home. I would urge anyone interested to call us today to find out more.”
Prices at Mandale Park start from £107,995 and the sales centre, off Thorntree Road, is open daily from 10.00am to 5.00pm.
