House hunters can reap the rewards of buying new and off plan
Savvy house hunters in a position to buy now can reap the rewards that come with buying a new off plan home, as well as securing some incredible deals at Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties’ Lion Park development in Hambrook.
The sales team is now taking reservations on a collection of one, two, three and four bedroom homes, and not only will off plan purchasers have the pick of the best plots at pre show home prices, they will also have the opportunity to personalise their new home with a choice of fixtures and fittings.
Sarah Pasco, regional sales director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said: “Since its launch Lion Park has been extremely popular with purchasers who are recognising the benefits that come with buying new as this can save homeowners thousands on DIY, maintenance and improvements, not to mention savings in areas such as fuel bills. Add to this the different financial incentives and assistance packages we can offer at the time of purchase, and the savings and benefits really do start to add up.”
So the decision to buy new at Lion Park could be a particularly shrewd move, but if you’re not convinced, the house builder has five reasons as to why buying new is best.
1. Low maintenance, flexible living - new homes are designed to accommodate modern lifestyles and offer features such as en-suite bathrooms, modern appliances and flexible three storey living space not often found in older homes.
2. More affordable short and long term - a study by Taylor Wimpey using Energy Performance Certificates revealed that those living in a new home could use 55% less energy, save 65% on heating, lighting and hot water bills and generate 72% less CO2 emissions than those living in a second hand property. This means running a new home is more cost efficient and friendlier to the environment!
3. Special incentives and moving packages – buying a new home means you can take advantage of a host of financial incentives that wouldn’t usually be available with an older property. You could get your stamp duty paid, enjoy a house to home removals service, take advantage of a first time buyer scheme or get new furniture, fixtures and fittings included in the price.
4. You can make your mark - buyers have a blank canvas onto which to stamp their individuality rather than going through the cost and effort of putting right other people’s decoration and DIY disasters – something the majority of home owners are keen to avoid, especially with the cost of living putting a big squeeze on finances.
5. Peace of mind - ongoing structural maintenance of older properties can be a costly and time-consuming business and many owners are forced to bring in the professionals for major jobs. All new Taylor Wimpey properties come with an NHBC certificate so you can relax knowing that the structure of your home is guaranteed for 10 years.
Prices at Lion Park currently start from just £180,000 for a one bedroom coach house, from £290,000 for a three bedroom mid terrace home and from £380,000 for a three bedroom detached home.
