Off-plan could be the right plan for North Yorkshire homebuyers
Leading housebuilder Barratt Homes is encouraging people looking for a new home to consider the benefits of buying off-plan at its Harclay Park development in Boroughbridge.
With a range of three and four bedroom homes available to reserve, the developer is highlighting the benefits that buying early in the construction process provides.
Sam Wood, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Yorkshire West, said: “By reserving a property when work has just begun, you will be given the opportunity to personalise your home by selecting your fixtures and fittings, all of which will be in place before you move in.”
To help buyers looking to reap the benefits of purchasing a home off-plan, Sam has put together her five top tips on how to get the most out of the scheme.
1. Get in early
As the saying goes, ‘the early bird catches the worm’ and this is certainly true with buying a brand-new home.
Sam commented: “Purchasers who get in early will be able to ensure that they secure their pick of the homes available.”
2. Do your homework
Make sure you study the plans carefully and use the knowledge of the onsite Sales Adviser to help you. Check the dimensions to make sure your existing furniture is appropriate. Your Sales Adviser will invite you to visit your home at key points so you can ensure everything is going to plan.
3. Make your house a home
One of the major advantages to buying off-plan is the ability to choose some of your own fixtures, fittings and finishes before you move in.
Sam added: “The range of extras includes aspects such as kitchen units and flooring, which gives you the chance to really personalise your home. What’s more, it will all be professionally fitted before you move in.
“We understand that buying off-plan is to some extent a leap of faith, and many purchasers may find it hard to envisage what the home will be like once completed.
“We encourage you to book an appointment to talk to our experienced Sales Advisers at Harclay Park about the options available.”
The development, located on Stump Cross is a collection of three and four bedroom homes which is surrounded by 17 acres of green space offering a variety of countryside walks.
