Welcome to the Andrews Land and New Homes Autumn/Winter magazine!

Over the last 10 years we have sold over £180million of new homes throughout Gloucestershire alone, equating to nearly 1,000 properties and continue to offer a wide range of new homes for buyers to choose from.

With the Government promising more new homes, Gloucestershire has seen an exciting variety of new homes developments over recent years and this is set to continue in to 2015, so there really has been no better time to start your new home search locally.

We offer a wealth of experience and advice to help buyers understand and take advantage of useful new homes’ schemes

including Part-Exchange, Help To Buy, and other incentives.

In this edition, we include benefits of ‘Why Buy New?’, options for buyers and a case study one of our own, March Wilmot, who has moved in to the outstanding Redcliffe Homes development in Up Hatherley.

We hope you enjoy our Autumn/Winter magazine, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Why buy new?Q: What are the major benefits of buying a new-build home?There are so many advantages to buying a new home now and the vast majority would offer the following:

• Progressive design with more light and higher ceilings to improve quality of life• More energy efficient so cheaper to run with lower bills• A higher standard specification often with kitchen appliances included, and other choices are available to tailor make your new home• Every new home comes with a 10 year warranty for peace of mind• Chain free, and the purchase can be pushed through extremely fast if necessary• A variety of useful schemes and incentives to help fund deposits and sale of existing home

Q: What are the first questions potential buyers of new-build properties should ask?Buyers should discuss their own circumstances with the site sales advisers so they can advise how best to proceed. So for example, if the

buyer has a property to sell, the developer might be able to offer Part Exchange or an Assisted Move (pay for the estate agent’s fees). Often developers can offer incentives and promotions so the buyer should ask which plots are applicable where flooring might be included, or Stamp Duty paid. Finally, the buyer would be wise to find out when the new home is predicted to be ready to occupy so they can prepare for the move and arrange a mortgage for that period.

Q: What other factors are there to consider when looking at a new-build home?Buyers should always consider what stage of the development they are buying at as some sites might well be building for several years. This could affect when the new school, doctors surgery, bus stops etc will be built particularly on larger sites.

Q: Do new-build homes tend to be better value for money? Why?They certainly can be when all of the specification installed as standard is taken into account. So for example, the marketing

price will usually be higher than a like for like second hand property, but the new home may have the latest kitchen appliances throughout, quality ceramic tiled/carpeted flooring, a fully equipped utility room, landscaped garden etc.

Q: Why is now a better time than ever to move into a new-build home? Not only is there so much choice in Gloucestershire now, there are a lot of exciting developments going through the planning system and projects about to be started in key areas of Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud and Tewkesbury. Many of these sites are really pushing the boundaries to offer buyers better lifestyle options in their homes.

Q: What can Andrews Land & New Homes offer potential buyers?Our New Homes team only sells new homes, so we can advise buyers with a great deal of experience and detail to help them make the right choice and as we are selling so many sites locally, we really can be a one-stop-shop for your new homes search.

A Helping HandBuying a new home has never been easier with most developers offering a range of incentives and schemes to help out.

Talking to Andrews’ experts at the estate agency’s Gloucestershire new homes department can help you get started.

David Packwood, regional manager at Andrews Land and New Homes, said home-hunters should take into account what could work best for them.

He said: “…if you’ve got your heart set on a new home but need some assistance to help make your move, then developers really will bend over backwards with a variety of options. There’s specific help to boost a buyer’s deposit using HelpToBuy or sometimes with Stamp Duty Paid, and if you’ve got a property to sell there’s always Part Exchange and Assisted Move.”

Help with DepositThe Government’s Help to Buy scheme is open to both first-time buyers and home-owners

purchasing new-build homes with a purchase price of up to £600,000. Buyers will need to contribute at least five per cent of the property price as a deposit, and then The Government will provide a loan for up to 20 per cent of the price which is interest free for the first 5 years. A mortgage of up to 75% covers the rest on the bases that you have a 25% deposit.*

Mr Packwood added: “Many buyers look at this scheme and think it’s too good to be true, but thousands of buyers are taking advantage so we would urge anyone considering a move to contact us before the funding runs out”.

Meanwhile, with Stamp Duty Paid, those that buy a new home could have tax charged by the Government paid for them by the developer freeing up these funds for extra deposit or new furniture etc. The stamp duty rate depends on the price of the home, so between £125,000 and £250,000 it stands at 1% of the property’s value, and from £250,000 to £500,000 it is 3%!*

Similarly the developer might offer a Gifted Deposit to boost the buyer’s deposit.*

Help selling your existing homePart-Exchange by developers means they will offer to buy your existing property at a price agreed following at least 2 independent valuations. This can remove the stress and inconvenience of selling a house on the open market, worrying about house-buying chains and paying estate agents’ fees.*

Assisted Move is also another option where your preferred plot is secured for you whilst the new homes developer organises the sale of your existing home with a local estate agent, and pays their fees.*

Case Study: Manor Farm, Up HatherleyMother-of-one March Wilmot enjoyed selling new homes at a new homes site so much that she ended up buying a house there.

March, who has a husband and five-year-old daughter, began working at Manor Farm in Up Hatherley, Cheltenham and fell in love with the Redcliffe Homes development.

She said: “I grew up in this area and very soon after I started working here I knew I wanted to come back, and that Manor Farm was where I wanted to live – it’s just such a lovely place.

“Of course for us this house move didn’t have the element of doubt that buying a new home often entails, because I understand Redcliffe Homes’ way of doing things.

“I have total confidence that my family’s new home doesn’t just look good, it will also have been well-built and – as always – it’s beautifully finished. We couldn’t be happier.”

The four-bedroom Andoversford property has

an exterior carefully designed to complement the style of the neighbouring 350-year-old farmhouse and other traditional farm buildings which have now been released for sale.

March, who works at Andrews Land and New Homes, said: “It wasn’t easy to choose, because all the designs are really nice. Though I knew we’d have a good-sized kitchen and plenty of space everywhere, it’s only now we’ve moved in that I really appreciate what a lovely flow there is to the lay-out of the rooms.

“And my husband Russell and I love the luxury of our en-suite bathroom!”

Her daughter, Lucy, happily supervised the installation of fairy lights in her new bedroom, and helped settle the family cats, Ronnie and Henry.

The property is located next to a small park, making it an ideal place for families, who can also enjoy the nearby countryside and excellent

local schools.

March added: “I knew in advance that we were going to have some great neighbours, because I’d already met them all. Everyone’s very friendly, and there’s a good community feel to the place already.”

Details on the development are available from Andrews Land and New Homes on 01242 248975 or via email: [email protected] .

Many people all over Gloucestershire could be in possession of a valuable asset without even knowing it. Demand for development land has increased notably in the past few years and even a smallish plot, with planning permission, can realise a substantial sum, as Richard Styles, who is the Land and Development Manager at Andrews Land and New Homes in Cheltenham points out.

“Following the floods of 2007, then the banking crisis of 2008, many developers reined in expenditure on land, because of general uncertainty about the overall economy, the housing market, and the fact that banks were often reluctant to lend.

“Now we’re in a much more optimistic climate. Demand for homes is stronger and, coupled with a general shortage of developable land, the price of land with planning permission, or planning potential, has risen appreciably.

Richard added: “So, if you had a piece of land valued five or six years ago and were perhaps disappointed then, it may well be worthwhile

having it assessed again.”

Land with potential can come in all shapes and sizes. It could presently be occupied by redundant buildings, land that was previously in commercial use – known as brownfield land – or perhaps an area that might have some opportunity, next to an existing property.

Rather than possibly miss out in this respect, and perhaps see someone else exploit the chance, it makes sense to seek expert advice and guidance while you’re still in control of matters.

“We are always keen to hear from people who have land and are thinking that they might like to find out more about planning possibilities,” he said.

“We’re more than happy to visit the site to carry out an initial investigation and give a sense of whether the land has some potential.”

The Government is making a push to build on previously developed sites suitable for housing to make the best possible use of brownfield land in a way that protects our countryside.

So, Cotswold Homes’ Prestbury Mews scheme that comprises 11 brand new 3 & 4 bedroom detached and semi-detached homes has been welcomed by local residents taking into account their views on design and the housing needs of this community. Comments on the proposed style and specification have been very positive, and the developer’s ambition to improve the site has been praised.

The first homes at Prestbury Mews are expected to be ready for occupation from this autumn and four have already been sold. In the meantime seriously interested homebuyers are encouraged to book an appointment with the on-site sales team to discuss their requirements and review the homes and specification available in detail.

Andrews Land & New Homes are based in Leckhampton, Cheltenham, and cover most of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, and also have divisions covering Bath and Bristol.

LAST FEW AVAILABLE AT HARDWICKE

New Dawn Homes was delighted to welcome the first residents to its private development in Hardwicke village last week – and urges buyers looking for a practical and spacious new home to pay a visit to the show home before it’s too

late. New Dawn Homes has brought its popular and thoughtfully designed new homes to Hardwicke in a new cul-de-sac tucked away

in the heart of Hardwicke. There are only seven traditionally designed four, five and six-bedroom detached houses to consider, all of which come with off-road parking and garages.

New Dawn Homes are creating a delightful street-scene perfect for homebuyers looking for the practicality of a modern home in an established residential setting. Four of the seven traditionally designed houses have already been reserved so don’t hesitate to visit now.

David Packwood, regional manager for Andrews Land & New Homes said: “There has been a significant shortage of smaller new homes developments built in this area over recent years so just seven traditional family houses like these are proving popular. New Dawn Homes has cleverly designed these homes to appeal to a wide audience with fantastic kitchen/family rooms, integral storage and well-proportioned bedrooms.”

All of the homes come with a 10-year warranty and buyers can also take advantage of variety of schemes such as Part Exchange, HelpToBuy

and Smooth Move if they need a helping hand.

Terms and conditions apply so please enquire for details. These homes are in Elmgrove Road East off Bristol Road in Hardwicke, an established residential street rather than a large new homes development. There are plenty of local convenience stores, a supermarket and other amenities.

There is a variety of schools with Hardwicke Parochial Primary School, Field Court Junior School and Severn Vale School, all within two-thirds of a mile from the development. The highly regarded Kings School also offers a private school alternative. This location also has excellent transport links with convenient access to Junctions 11A and 12 of the M5, and Gloucester city centre.

VISIT A GREAT NEW DURSLEY SHOW HOME THIS WEEKEND

Littlecombe opens the doors to its next show home this weekend to showcase the fantastic variety of new homes available.

This landmark event follows hot on the heels of the first phase of the development where St Modwen Homes is creating a brand new sustainable community in an area of outstanding beauty in the heart of Dursley.

Littlecombe is an attractive collection of two, three and four-bedroom high specification and energy efficient homes, and St Modwen welcome buyers to pay a visit and tour The Portland, another beautiful show home. Sales advisers will be happy to discuss a

A feature kitchen/dining/family room offers a practical open-plan hub in which a family can cook, eat and relax together.

With a utility room leading into the garden, this house has been designed with practical use in mind and the large windows and high ceilings give a real feeling of height and light throughout.

The Portland show home is available for £332,995 and comes fully equipped with carpets, curtains, light fittings and a landscaped garden. A wide choice of three and four-bedroom house styles are available from £217,000 to £467,500.

to verdant woodland and enjoys beautiful scenic views over the surrounding countryside.

The immediate area around the development is exquisitely landscaped and benefits from a network of footpaths, cycle paths and delightful riverside walks. Siding onto the upper reaches of the River Cam and set along a gentle slope, fabulous views can be enjoyed from all aspects.

The town’s excellent shopping facilities include many independent retailers side by side with familiar high street names as well as a regular farmers’ market.

New Homes Highlights: Independent LivingThese newly-built two-bedroom retirement apartments for the over 55’s really are exceptional. Developed by Sanctuary Group, Middleton House is located in the much-sought after Leckhampton district of Cheltenham, and offers outstanding independent and assisted living accommodation with a range of on-site care and leisure facilities to suit a variety of needs.

With the majority of these beautiful two-bedroom apartments available to purchase already reserved, we would recommend interested buyers and their families contact us as soon as possible to arrange their viewing of the show home and tour of the recently completed development.

Built on site of the former Delancey Hospital in Pilley Lane, this brand new extra care scheme boasts a superb range of on-site facilities to suit a variety of care needs, including a 24-hour on-call team, a restaurant, hair salon, lounge

and much more.

These new apartments are available from £183,750 for 75 per cent shared ownership* which makes them extremely good value for this location, no rent is payable on the remaining 25 per cent making it genuinely affordable for residents to live in such a desirable area and enjoy first class amenities.

Independent retirement living means owning your own home, in a purpose-built development, without needing to carry out tasks such as gardening, window cleaning and other property maintenance. Additional support is provided by a Development Manager and a 24/7 emergency call response system.

It bridges the gap retirement and a residential care or nursing home.

There is an emphasis on a communal environment, so residents have the choice to socialise with one another and join in with the activities and events on offer.

A service charge covers maintenance and management costs. This represents excellent

value for money and is made clear from the outset, avoiding any nasty surprises.

Buyers have the option of selling their own homes safe in the knowledge that their new home has been allocated to them. Interest is very high in the remaining properties and so contact our knowledgeable sales advisors today to ask any questions prior to your visit.

Middleton House rests in leafy Leckhampton, a residential area which has much to offer in its own right. It is within straightforward reach of local facilities, and vibrant Bath Road in central Leckhampton is less than a mile away, offering an excellent selection of independent shops and cafes. Bus stops are conveniently placed for regular services to Leckhampton and central Cheltenham.
