28 Jun ESSEX HOUSEBUILDER PROVIDES ITS FIVE TOP REASONS TO MOVE HOME THIS SUMMER
Finding the right time to move home can often seem like a complicated task to face. Whether you’re staying in the same town or moving outside of Essex, homebuyers can be unsure of when the best time to move truly is.
But with summer months comes sunny days and lighter evenings, and there are several reasons as to why this time of year is in fact the perfect time to move home.
Leading homebuilder Barratt and David Wilson Homes Eastern Counties – which builds homes across the county – has revealed its top five reasons to make the transition this summer:
Buying new
When you’re looking to move, there are plenty of options to consider, including whether to opt for a new build property.
When moving into a new build home, we advise homebuyers to simply unpack their belongings and enjoy their homes from day one – without being bombarded with DIY projects upon arrival.
Welcome friends and family into your colourful garden space, with a freshly mowed lawn and room for children to play outdoors. You can even enjoy the weather and discover your lovely new surroundings.
Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ airy new properties let in large amounts of natural sunlight, and the majority of the kitchens are fitted with French doors which can be opened up to enjoy a cool summer breeze.
Energy efficient homes
There is now more choice than ever when it comes to purchasing an energy efficient home.
Reduce the carbon footprint while saving money on energy bills with argon-filled double-glazing windows which help to keep your surroundings cool during the summer months.
The leading housebuilder’s brand new homes are up to 57% cheaper to run, which means you could save up to £1,410 on your bills each year, compared to a Victorian equivalent.
Summer holidays
For families, there is no better time to move home than when children are off school for six weeks, as the moving process will not cause any disruption to their education.
Kids will be able to finish school during the summer term and make a smooth transition into the next school year, which could be at a new school within the catchment area.
Aside from children, most adults take their annual leave in the summer months, giving you extra time to transfer your household belongings from one place to another. Make the most of typically warmer, dryer weather and extended daylight hours to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
Location
The vibrant county of Essex boasts many wonderful amenities to take advantage of this summer. For a thrilling way to cool off, visit Festival Wakeboard and Aqua Park, located near to several of Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ developments. This attraction is perfect for adults with children over the age of six, who enjoy wakeboarding, trampolining and paddling, as well as making the most of the huge inflatable aqua park.
Alternatively, take a trip to Highwoods Country Park, often regarded as one of the best beauty spots in Colchester. Perfect for families who love to explore, you can enjoy a picnic out in the sun while making use of the three outdoor playing areas.
Moving schemes
There are several schemes in place to help you secure your ideal home this summer.
The first being Part Exchange, which enables you to trade some or all of your property’s value to buy a new build home from Barratt and David Wilson Homes. This guarantees the quick sale of your home for a fair price and avoids any estate agent fees you may have otherwise faced.
Other schemes include Movemaker, which lets you reserve your new home before selling your current property, and Deposit Unlock, which enables first-time buyers and existing homeowners to purchase a new home with just a 5% deposit.
