Must hurry for must-have apartment
 
With its amazing steel and glass atrium-foyer, The Visage feels pretty special as soon as you walk through the main entrance. Barratt’s ultra modern development, located in the heart of Swiss Cottage, has been a great success since its launch and opportunities to buy there are now strictly limited. Just a few apartments remain, hardly surprising when you take into account the unique combination of looks, location, service and specification.

A new, beautifully designed and furnished three-bedroom show apartment is now open demonstrates why The Visage is so different and exciting.  In the show apartment the interior space is generous, and the views across the London skyline are inspiring.

Kitchens are by top German designer Alno; most apartments have a balcony or terrace.

The West End is a quick black cab ride away, and it’s just a few minutes from major road routes for fast, out-of-town getaways. It’s an amazing development in every sense: its sell-out success is hardly surprising.

Fairfield Park is an imaginative project near Stotfold, Bedfordshire, breathing new life into a former Grade II Victorian mental asylum and its 173 acres of grounds. The hospital was closed down in 1999 and became derelict, and is now the centre of a multi-million-pound scheme in which a consortium of builders will provide over 900 new homes.
The regeneration aspect of Fairfield Park is not its only attraction. Villages back in vogue with those who are tired of the anonymity of the cities and keen to be part of a community; and this wonderfully varied collection of homes is perfect in that respect. Not only does it offer communal space and facilities for all residents, it also offers proximity to excellent transport links so that those who work in the cities can have the best of both worlds.
The setting is fantastic – Fairfield Park is situated in mature parkland just a short drive from the towns of Letchworth and Hitchin, and is only two miles from junction 10 of the A1(M). There is easy access to London via railway stations at Hitchin, Letchworth and Arlesey – all of these stations run regular services to King’s Cross. And for frequent flyers, Luton Airport is just over ten miles away.

Fairfield Park is ideal for families. Educationally, the area is served well with pre-school, nursery, primary and secondary schools in Stotfold, Arlesey, Letchworth and Hitchin, as well as North Herts College, which offers further education opportunities. These nearby towns also offer a wealth of leisure, entertainment and shopping facilities, including cinemas, swimming pools, sports centres, golf courses, restaurants, bars and clubs.
Twigden Homes is developing over eight acres of the Fairfield Park project, creating a variety of Victorian-style houses and paying particular attention to detail. Care has been taken to ensure that the development is sympathetically designed to blend with surrounding countryside and architecture.

Twigden’s contribution to Fairfield Park will be built in four phases and will offer a range of house types from two to six bedrooms, terraced to detached. Interiors will include both traditional Victorian-style and contemporary designs.
At Fairfield Park, there is something for everyone. Whatever the size, all of Twigden’s homes at Fairfield Park benefit from the same level of care and attention to detail. While the development itself has been designed to recall an urban Victorian landscape, Twigden are offering a choice of Victorian or contemporary interiors according to the house design. This gives purchasers the best of both worlds depending on their individual taste.
While Victorian features dominate at Fairfield Park, modern facilities have been carefully integrated into the scheme and will include a community centre, a convenience store, tennis courts, trim trails and play areas in addition to the existing cricket and bowls amenities which have club membership facilities.

Current availability includes the Arthur house type, a five-bedroom home on three floors, as well as the two-bedroom semi-detached Bertie and the Peter four-bedroom home. The George house type, a five-bedroom home with garage and additional study and cloakroom above, has only one example left to sell. The Leopold and Louise three-bedroom house types also have only one remaining each.
Prices for Twigden’s contribution to Fairfield Park currently start at £229,995 for a two-bedroom home. The sales office is open daily. Call 01462 683537 or visit twigdenhomes.co.uk for more information. For details of all Twigden’s developments visit twigdenhomes.co.uk.

Apartments are the ideal spaces for those who have found it difficult to get on to the property ladder. And a particular scheme in the Borough of Hounslow comes up trumps in terms of smart use of space as well as the ways in which first-time buyers can finally be included in the property market.

Berkeley First has completed phase two of its landmark Paragon scheme in Brentford, handing over the 179 key worker apartments to Presentation Housing Association. There is a mix of home types available, either for rent or purchase through shared ownership.
The Paragon scheme meets not only the ambition of Berkeley First to be at the forefront of the provision of well designed affordable accommodation, but also the aspirations of the London Borough of Hounslow to enhance the provision of affordable homes for its key workers.
Of the handover to Presentation, Matthew Biddle, managing director of Berkeley First, says, ‘This marks a significant step towards meeting the demand for well designed, key worker homes in London. We can now start to see our vision turning into reality. Paragon provides a genuine opportunity for people to invest in their future and enhance their quality of life, in what will become a truly mixed and sustainable community.’

Paragon, London’s largest mixed-use affordable led development, will regenerate a formerly under-utilised site, creating a total of 221 homes for key workers, 839 student study bedrooms, a 130,000 sq ft academic facility for Thames Valley University’s Faculty of Health and Human Sciences, 3,000 sq ft of retail space and more than 300 jobs for the borough.
Most of the student accommodation is expected to be handed over for occupation by TVU students by September, with the completion of the academic facility expected in March next year.

Broughton MK, situated just off Chaffron Way, is a collection of 234 new homes, including one- and two-bedroom apartments and three-, four- and five-bedroom houses.

With Willen Lake only a three-minute car drive or ten-minute bicycle ride away, water sports-loving residents at Broughton MK will be able to indulge in windsurfing, sailing and water skiing. A tributary of the Grand Union Canal runs by the scheme and Milton Keynes village, with its 12th-century All Saints Church, is only a few minutes away.

The Redway, a network of pedestrian and cycle paths, encircles the development, allowing residents to walk or cycle safely to Willen Lake or the centre of Milton Keynes. To meet the need for cycle storage, garages have been extended to include bicycle racks, while apartment buildings will have cycle areas.

George Wimpey South Midlands is offering prospective purchasers a special garden makeover when they buy any brand new home at its Mathison Grange development in Bletchley, Buckinghamshire.

For new reservations, the leading housebuilder will professionally landscape the rear garden and include a top-of-the-range barbeque and stylish patio furniture – worth a fantastic £5,000.

New homes currently available at Mathison Grange comprise the four-bedroom ‘Ashcroft’ and ‘Kent’ starting from £259,995, a five-bedroom ‘Lavenham’ priced at £360,000 and a three-bedroom ‘Quainton’ showhome on the market for £241,995 which comes complete with all contents.

A separate dining room, a guest cloakroom, a spacious entrance hallway, and an understairs storage cupboard complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the landing leads to four bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, a family bathroom, an airing cupboard and a second storage cupboard.

In common with all new homes at Mathison Grange, the ‘Ashcroft’ enjoys a high standard specification including central heating, double glazing, and a fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

As an alternative to the garden offer, George Wimpey’s easymover programme offers a range of special incentives on selected properties.

These include support for first time buyers, while customers with a house to sell can reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder finds a buyer for their current property and contributes to the estate agents' fees.

Alternatively, customers can take advantage of the House 2 Home bespoke moving package comprising free UK removal regardless of distance or size of property, full packing and unpacking service and insurance cover.

Incentives can be tailored to homebuyers’ circumstances and are subject to availability. Further details are available from the Sales Executive.

Commuters will appreciate that Milton Keynes and the M1 are within easy reach of the development, and that Bletchley rail station, within walking distance of the development, offers regular services to London and the north.

Easy Home Moves & £10,000 To Spend At Superb Selection Centre For Barratt Buyers In Kenley!

Moving home can be one of life’s most stressful experiences but at Highwood@Kenley Park development in Kenley, Barratt is making the move easy by offering home exchange.* Taking all the hassle out of selling and buying a new home, part exchange enables home buyers to ‘trade up’ to a larger, more expensive home without having to arrange their own estate agents, cope with endless viewings or worry about the sale falling through with all the associated fees still to pay.

Part-exchange often proves a relief for those on the property market ‘roller-coaster’; one of Barratt’s Surrey homebuyers, Tina Sexton, experienced ‘the downs’ of the property market when she lost the buyer of her own home, not once but twice!  It wasn’t until Barratt stepped in and offered her part-exchange, that she began to enjoy the ‘ups’ of moving house!

With a beautiful elevated setting and a wide range of fabulous, three, four and five-bedroom homes, Highwood@Kenley Park is attracting visitors from all over Surrey and Kent, particularly those looking to move from Croydon and South East London in search of a better lifestyle.  With the parkland and ancient woodland of Coulsdon Common within easy reach, Highwood@Kenley Park is a ‘country location’ that still enjoys excellent road links with London, the M25 and Gatwick.

For buyers wishing to personalise their new homes, now is the time to buy at Highwood@Kenley Park, not only because properties are at an early stage of construction but because Barratt, celebrating the opening of its superb Choices Centre, is giving buyers a £10,000 voucher to spend on extras and upgrades in the centre.

Recognising that for many buyers, the ability to personalise their new property is one of the most important factors in buying a brand new home, Barratt’s established its new Kenley Choices Centre to enable Barratt buyers from across Southern England to really enjoy making selections and choosing upgrades for their new homes.
With a dazzling array of items on offer, the Choices Centre includes everything a buyer might want: from kitchen cabinets and worksurfaces, to bathroom vanity units, bathroom fittings, floor coverings, wardrobes, fireplaces, curtains and blinds.  A further range of upgrades, including chrome switch and socket plates, security alarms and light fittings can be viewed on a plasma screen.  A dedicated Choices Advisor, based at the Choices Centre, is also on hand to help guide homebuyers through the selection process.

Whilst the specification at Highwood@Kenley Park is of a high standard, including luxury designer kitchens with oven, hob, hood, dishwasher and washer-dryer, many purchasers have appreciated the opportunity to select curtains and carpets to add the finishing touches to their new homes.  As with any new development, choices are available at an early stage of construction so homebuyers are advised to visit Highwood as soon as possible; there’s certainly plenty to view.

For further information on the three, four and five bedroom homes, priced from £329,995, on part-exchange or on the Kenley Choices Centre, please contact the Barratt sales team on 020 8668 9277. Information on all Barratt developments is available on the website at www.barratthomes.co.uk.

LINDEN HOMES TAKES THE STRESS OUT OF PROPERTY CHAINS FOR BUYERS AT DEEPDENE SQUARE

Buyers at Deepdene Square in Dorking who need to sell their existing property before they can purchase a new home, can now hand the responsibility over to Linden Homes with the launch of the new Freeway Plan.

Aimed at taking the stress out of buying a new home, the Freeway Plan is designed to assist with the sale of an existing property in four simple stages.
Having chosen a new property, Linden Homes will inspect the customer’s existing home
Two independent valuations will be arranged before a realistic price is suggested
Once agreed, the customer can go ahead and reserve their new home
An estate agent will be instructed on their behalf to sell the property within a specified timeframe, and should the property remain unsold during that period, Linden will refund the deposit or agree to extend the selling period.

Linden Homes will also cover the cost of the estate agent’s fees if the property is sold within twelve weeks.

Joan Bevan made the most of the scheme when she decided to downsize from her bungalow in Epsom to a two-bedroom apartment at Deepdene Square. She said, ‘I was looking forward to downsizing into a more compact home which would be easier to manage. With the Freeway Plan I was able to simply choose my new home and leave Linden to do all the hard work selling my old one, resulting in a stress-free move. The sale of my bungalow is now well underway and I am looking forward to settling into Deepdene Square very soon.’

Ian Randall, Managing Director of Linden Homes South East adds:
‘Buying a new home should be an enjoyable experience. By offering many great deals on our new build properties we can eliminate the hassle normally associated with moving and relieve the pressures that goes with being in a chain.’
Occupying a convenient location in the sought-after market town of Dorking, Deepdene Square offers a range of contemporary one and two-bedroom apartments contained inside several smart, low-rise apartment buildings. The development is set on broad, tree-lined roads in landscaped surroundings with private parking.

HOW YOU CAN BUY YOUR DREAM HOME NOW

Springtime is when many people start dreaming of their ideal new home, but sadly for some it remains just a pipedream. That is until now, as Banner Homes has just extended its 80:20 purchase scheme from three years to ten.

Under the scheme, a purchaser pays 80% of the full asking price of their new Banner home now and the balance in up to 10 years’ time. No interest is charged on the loan during this period, offering the potential for significant savings, and enabling the buyer to purchase today what they would otherwise have to wait for years to afford.

Piers Banfield, Group Sales and Marketing Director at Banner Homes explains; ‘Extending the 80:20 scheme to 10 years is fantastic news for potential purchasers. The scheme has already proved hugely popular, but under the extended terms, our customers can make savings on interest for up to 10 years instead of just three.

‘Our research shows that more than 50% of buyers are moving simply to get more space as their family grows. The average family will move at least twice during this period of their lives, paying large sums to the Chancellor each time with stamp duty up to 4% and rising. The beauty of the 80:20 scheme is that buyers can trade up for the space now that they will inevitable need as their family grows in the years to come. The scheme allows buyers to pay only 80% of the price now and still take 100% of the ownership of their new home.

‘The scheme is not however exclusively available to families, it is on offer to all buyers subject to them meeting the basic criteria. The 80:20 scheme has exceptional appeal to investors who can take 100% of the rental income having only paid 80% of the purchase price, completely transforming rental yields.
80:20 is available on selected plots at many Banner Homes’ developments across central and southern England.

The 80:20 scheme is currently available at selected plots at Hermitage Green in Hermitage. A selection of two, three, four and five bedroom homes, Hermitage Green is set back from a tree-lined road and surrounded by open countryside in rural Berkshire. The development has been planned to include a variety of contemporary house styles, from detached five bedroom homes to apartments, in order to suit most ages and lifestyles.

What a show home can show you

Increasingly, new developments are sold off-plan, with developers providing show apartments and houses in order to give prospective buyers an idea of the space, specification and style that is on offer. These show homes make it easy to imagine what it would be like to live in a particular environment, and with the following tips from KingsOak Homes buyers will get the most out of their show home visit.

Be prepared

Before you even walk through the show home door, know exactly what it is you’re looking for in a new home. What are the essential features you require, such as number of bedrooms, separate dining room or garage space. It sounds obvious but it’s helpful to have these details clear in your mind before you even contemplate looking at a new property.

Have the facts

Make sure you know what’s included and what is not. Ask the house builder for a specification list to help you identify the elements that your new home will have. Certain items within the show home such as fireplaces and some appliances may be optional extras. A reputable house builder will make you aware of these things from the outset.

Make the most of the negotiator

As well as taking a tour by yourself, ask the sales negotiator to show you around. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and make sure you get the answers you need. They’re there to help you so make the most of their knowledge about this particular development and the house builder generally.

Evaluate the space

Look at the size of the furniture. Check out how many chairs are seated around the dining room table, for instance: would it accommodate your family? Try hard to imagine your own possessions in place of those in the show home – even take a tape measure and write down sizes so that you can compare them with your own furniture when you get home.

The bricks and mortar

Try to look beyond the gloss and ask questions about the more basic aspects of the home, such as how expensive it will be to heat. Ask the negotiator about the SAP rating, a standard by which a home’s energy efficiency is judged. Are the windows double glazed? Does the house have energy-efficient central heating? Are the items included, such as appliances, of a good-quality brand? Are the pipes sufficiently insulated? Also, what will the garden look like? And what scope is there to choose finishes such as tiles and work surfaces?

Above all, make sure you ask questions. A home is the largest single purchase most of us will ever make, so you owe it to yourself to make your show home visit as fruitful as possible.

The current crop of newly built homes in Hertfordshire are well worth a look, finds Johnny Turner

Hertfordshire is a county with a lot to offer – pleasant countryside, well-connected market towns, good schools and fine property. There are currently a number of winning developments that are convincing both Herts natives and incomers that this region is on the up.
Barratt is showing its green credentials at its newly released mixed-use development on the former site of the British Aerospace factory in Hatfield. Equinox will generate its own heat and electricity and is set to play a major part in the regeneration of Hatfield.
The residential element at Equinox comprises 267 homes, both private and affordable, with an Eco-rating of ‘Good’. There will also be a medical centre, a 115 place nursery, a Sanctuary Housing Association nursing home, 35,500 square feet of bar, restaurant and retail space, a 120 bed hotel, a public house and a purpose-built bus interchange.
What makes Equinox stand head and shoulders above other mixed-use schemes of this size is that in delivering a sustainable community, it has also addressed important environmental issues, such as carbon savings, with an innovative on-site centralised heat and electricity network.

The technology used will be Combined Heat and Power (CHP) provided by Utilicom, whereby an engine is installed to produce the majority of the electricity for the development, with the waste heat from this unit fed into the heating/hot water network. This approach overcomes the enormous wastage normally associated with large, inefficient power stations and the huge losses that occur in the National Grid. The CHP unit is backed up by conventional boilers and the grid, to give a high security of supply, and will provide more than 65% of the energy required by the Equinox development.
Glyn Hopping, managing director at Barratt North London says: ‘Equinox is not only addressing the high demand for one and two bedroom apartments in Hatfield, it also includes a lifestyle element, with the retail and leisure areas providing the infrastructure to support a vibrant and popular place to live. Sales of the new apartments have been going well since their recent launch; prospective buyers seem to appreciate we are building such an innovative, environmentally friendly development.’

Equinox offers a choice of contemporary apartment styles, many of which have balconies. Smart designer kitchens sport integrated stainless steel appliances and modern technology requirements have been catered for in all bedrooms and living rooms, with these fitted with digital satellite TV connections. All master bedrooms include their own shower room. Every apartment has a video/audio entry-phone system and allocated private parking.
The development is located conveniently near to the University of Hertfordshire and to the famous Galleria Outlet Centre, which has more than 60 stores and a cinema complex. For sports enthusiasts, the Next Generation Health and Fitness Club, one of largest gyms in Europe, is housed in the listed Hatfield Aerodrome Hanger, next door to Equinox; Barratt is offering each buyer a year’s free membership.

Prices for one-bedroom apartments at Equinox start from £165,000 and two bedroom apartments start at £190,000. For further details, telephone the sales and marketing suite on 01707 267153, which is open between 10am and 6pm from Thursday to Sunday and between 2pm and 6pm on Mondays.

Adam and Tricia Tonkin, their two sons Luke and Toby and their daughter Sophie recently moved home to the award-winning four-bedroom detached gatehouse at Twigden’s Homes’ impressive Victorian-style Fairfield Park development. Set in 168 acres of parkland in Stotfold, just across the Bedfordshire border, a consortium of developers are together providing over 900 new homes here. As Tricia says: ‘We fell in love with the gatehouse as soon as we saw it. It is very, very special and I still can’t quite believe we are now living here!’
Initially the Tonkin family had had no intention of moving home! As Tricia explains: ‘We had tried to sell our house, but the sale kept falling through, which was extremely stressful. We therefore decided to stay where we were and had just spent quite a lot of money on landscaping and new furniture – but then we saw an ad for ‘Fairfield Park’ and decided to take a look at it. What initially attracted us is the fact that the homes here are all very individual with lots of character. It would be easy to believe that some of them here have been here for quite a long time.’

Having seen the development once, they decided to go back for a second look. This time they visited the gatehouse show house, which was for sale. Tricia says: ‘As soon as we saw it we knew that this was where we wanted to live.’ However, this time round they weren’t taking any chances on the sale of their house falling through. Instead they took advantage of Twigden’s part-exchange scheme, which gave them a guaranteed buyer and they were able to plan their moving in date. ‘It was wonderful not to have all that pressure and worry’, explained Tricia. About a month later they were in their new home.
At Fairfield Park, there really is something for everyone. Whether you choose to buy a tw
