Downsizer finds perfect property in Ilkeston
Company director Nicky Bailey received all the help she needed to find her ideal home at Taylor Wimpey’s Briars Chase development of property for sale in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.
When Nicky Bailey began looking for new homes in Ilkeston, finding a smaller place to live that was close to her work, friends and grown-up children were hugely important.
For nine years, Nicky (73) had been living alone in a three-bedroom house in Nottinghamshire and felt the time was right to find somewhere more suited to her needs.
When she arrived at Taylor Wimpey’s Briars Chase development of new homes for sale in Ilkeston, Nicky discovered the perfect home in exactly the right location, and she got all the help needed to make a straightforward move into her brand new two-bedroom apartment.
“From the moment I first walked onto the development, the Sales Executives were friendly and gave me all the assistance I required to move into my new home,” says Nicky, a Company Director working in the education sector, remembering her first visit to the Taylor Wimpey Ilkeston development.
As well as being guided step by step through the purchasing process at the development of houses and apartments for sale in Ilkeston, Nicky was able to enjoy a stress-free moving day thanks to Taylor Wimpey’s House2Home removals service, which includes full packing and unpacking plus insurance.
“Taylor Wimpey has been fantastic and can’t be faulted – they kept me up to date throughout the buying process and were able to answer all of my questions.”
“Since I moved in, the excellent service has continued. It is very reassuring to know that the Site Manager is just a phone call away and that he will always take time to help me out.”
Nicky’s new home at Briars Chase is perfectly located within 15 minutes of her daughter and family, and there is easy access to the motorway for other family members to visit. It is in the same town as her workplace and the same parish as her church. It’s also just 100 yards from a bus stop which gives her easy access to the centre of Ilkeston for all her everyday needs.
“The development is lovely, and it is in the perfect location for me. My family are nearby, or within easy reach, I work locally and I can get to the places I need to visit with ease.
“My new home is so well suited to my life – it’s a two-bedroom apartment with generously-sized rooms and a really nice open-plan kitchen/living room with floor-to-ceiling windows which let in a lot of natural light. Whenever my friends have been to visit, they’ve always said how nice they think it is.”
