Home to one of most competitive property markets in the UK, Essex is a high demand location for buyers with its convenient access into London without sacrificing a quieter way of life in the countryside[1]. With further demand expected to follow, independent housebuilder Dandara is already meeting this demand as its Copford development Oaklands, which is now sold out.
Since its launch in early 2025, Oaklands has proven popular amongst buyers delivering a total of 50 homes, which included 15 affordable properties. Supporting various clubs and organisations in the local community, Dandara partnered with Stanway Villas Football Club, Pits Wood Trust and Colchester Foodbank whilst building in the area.
Dandara is also building homes nearby in Little Dunmow at The Orchard, Great Dunmow at St Mary’s Park, Takeley at Prior’s Edge and Braintree at Birch Park.
Gemma Bannister, Sales Director at Dandara Eastern, commented: “As we complete our final reservations at Oaklands, we continue to meet the demand across Essex with our remaining developments in the area. With the location boasting ideal amenities for all buyer types, the city is a sought-after location for many. At Dandara, we are proud to be building new homes to accommodate the thriving demand and offer house types to suit everyone.”
Dandara is currently building a variety of homes across Essex, where there is currently a selection of two-, three-, four- and five- bedroom homes available at The Orchard, with prices starting from £425,000 for a two-bedroom home.
A range of two-, three-, four- and five- bedroom are also available at its Birch Park development in nearby Braintree. Prices start from £345,000 for a two-bedroom home.
