A straightforward move to a new property in Ruislip

Homebuyers Michael and Suzanne Burke bypassed the stresses and strains of the property market with Part Exchange at Taylor Wimpey’s Sandringham development of new homes in Ruislip.

When Michael and Suzanne Burke decided to look for a new property for sale in Ruislip to accommodate their growing family, they were determined to make sure their move was as stress-free as possible.

Frustrated after the sale of their old three-bedroom house fell through when the buyer pulled out of the purchase, the couple were keen to find their ideal Ruislip property without having to deal with the uncertainties of the property market.

Fortunately, they discovered Taylor Wimpey’s Sandringham development of houses for sale in Ruislip – where the leading housebuilder’s Part Exchange scheme offered them exactly what they were looking for.

“After the sale of our previous property fell through, we were fed up with the whole thing and wanted to go for a simple way forward,” says Michael (41), reflecting on his search for houses to buy in Ruislip.

“We began looking at the option of part exchange and saw it was available at Taylor Wimpey’s Sandringham development – and it couldn’t have worked out better for us.

“We received a great price for our old house and once we’d agreed on that and reserved our new place, we had absolutely nothing to worry about. Everything was taken care of for us – all we had to do was wait for our moving date and get ready to go!”

Location was the most important consideration in Michael and Suzanne’s search for a new home, and Sandringham offers them a pleasant environment in which to bring up their children – three-year-old Luca and one-year-old twins Casey and Carmel – within easy reach of a range of local amenities.

The couple, who both work as police officers, are also delighted with the spacious layout of their five-bedroom ‘Kingsley’ townhouse, which is ideal for their needs.

Michael says: “We love the location of our new place – it’s close to the high street so we can walk to the shops, and there are schools nearby and a nursery just across the road. In fact, we can ditch our cars for virtually everything except work, which is fantastic.

“The layout of our home works really well for us, too. There’s plenty of space and we really like the fact that the kitchen/living/dining room are all on the same floor, which you don’t always get with townhouses.”

Priced from only £465,000, the ‘Kingsley’ is among the selection of beautiful properties available to reserve now at Sandringham Park, the latest phase of the Sandringham development.

Alternatively, the four-bedroom ‘Stamford’ is available from £515,000, while one and two-bedroom apartments are priced from only £189,995.

Taylor Wimpey offers a range of incentives for first-time buyers and those with a property to sell, including the Part Exchange scheme on selected family-size properties. Incentives can be tailored to customers’ individual circumstances and are subject to availability, with full details available from the Sales Executive.

Sandringham lies within 19 acres of landscaped grounds between Ruislip and Eastcote High Street, with a new community hall and public open spaces included in the development design.

The superb array of local shopping facilities includes a Marks & Spencer and a Waitrose, while a wider choice of outlets can be found nearby at The Chimes Shopping Centre in Uxbridge.

Pubs, restaurants and bars are also within walking distance of the development, the well-equipped High Grove Gym is just around the corner, and the tranquil parkland of Ruislip Common, Park Wood and Ruislip Lido are also within easy reach.

Commuters choosing to enjoy Sandringham’s laid-back lifestyle are well catered for, with the M40 and M25 a 15-minute drive away and direct local bus services to Pinner, Northwood and Ruislip. The development is also within walking distance of a number of stations on the Metropolitan, Piccadilly and Central lines.

To find out more about the new homes available at Sandringham, property-seekers can visit the Sales Information Centre and showhomes, located off Lime Grove, Eastcote, and open seven days a week from 10.30am to 5.30pm.
