You want a new home that has easy access to Gloucester and is situated in a beautiful location with stunning views. You want a new home that you can move straight into without having to worry about a myriad of niggly DIY jobs that need tackling. You want a new home that has a great spec and yet offers great value for money.

You may think this is asking a lot but you could be surprised. Bloor Homes’ St Whites development of new homes on the outskirts of Cinderford - just outside Littledean - offers all this and more, as current residents will testify.

David Adams and Stacie Weyman recently purchased their new home on the hillside development which offers amazing views across the Forest of Dean towards the Black Mountains and yet is only a short 20 minute drive to Gloucester. David said: “We particularly wanted to buy a property in St Whites because of the amazing views from there so when Bloor started to build we had a look and found a house that we really loved. It also had the added benefit of being a new property because, as young professionals, we just don’t have the time to start doing up an older house. Combined with that, the Bloor team were really helpful and put together a great deal for us.”

Previously renting a property, Steve Powell and Joanne Morgan have also now settled into their new home at St Whites. Steve said: “Our landlord wanted to sell the property we were renting and offered us the chance to buy it from him. However, it needed a lot of work doing to it and we didn’t feel it offered good value for money. Instead, we purchased a brand new house using Bloor’s equity loan scheme and the sales team were supportive every step of the way – they couldn’t have done more for us.”

Similarly, Will Bailey and Laura Whiles had been living with Laura’s parents in Cinderford for some time. They didn’t want to rent and instead saved towards a deposit. “We’d been struggling to find a property we could afford so when the Sales Advisers told us about their equity loan scheme and their five per cent gifted deposit, it was a dream come true,” explained Will. “We wouldn’t have had this opportunity with a resale property and hopefully, we won’t we need to worry about any problems with the house as we would have done if we’d bought an older property. It’s great to finally be on the property ladder and we are grateful for Bloor’s help in achieving this.”

There is currently a wide range of one, two and three-bedroom homes available at St Whites with prices starting from just £99,950. Selected plots are available using Bloor’s generous equity loan scheme which also offers a five per cent gifted deposit which could make all the difference in helping first time buyers take a step onto the property ladder. With this scheme, you could buy a three-bedroom Bramwell style semi-detached house (full market value of £149,950) for just £527 per month.

Alternatively, if you already own a property, you may be able to take advantage of Bloor’s Part-Exchange Plus scheme. Bloor will not only give you full market value on your existing property, they will also pay £200 a month towards your mortgage for two years. That’s a massive saving of £2,400 each year! You also benefit from receiving a valuation on your home within 48 hours of the estate agents’ visits, you have no advertising costs, no chain and a guaranteed buyer. This means you can seriously reduce the stress levels usually associated with moving home.
