Now the housing is market showing signs of recovery, buying a new home remains a sensible investment. But the critical issue of knowing exactly when to buy, is still the fundamental key to getting a maximum return.
With great deals and incentives on new homes, prices at their most affordable for years, househunters are now realising that buying conditions are perfect.
Marie-Claire Travis, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey South West Thames, comments:
“It’s important that buyers don’t allow themselves to get confused by the almost constant stream of data and news surrounding house prices. The bottom line is that house prices have reached their lowest for years and are now showing signs of growth again. This means that for almost all types of movers – whether first-time buyers or those with a current home – this is a prime time to grab a foothold on the property ladder or move to a bigger home.”
Taylor Wimpey, which also builds new homes under the Bryant Homes, Laing Homes and George Wimpey brands, has seen a steady increase in buyers investing in property, particularly parents securing first homes for their children, and more ‘off-plan’ purchases for homes months ahead of them being completed.
“According to the Land Registry, average house prices in England and Wales are around 11.7% lower than they were a year ago, but rose 1.7% in July – the biggest increase in five years.
For example, Taylor Wimpey can arrange valuations and market the customer’s existing home; pay their estate agency fees; assist with Stamp Duty and legal fees; provide a Home Information Pack (HIP) and/or free house removals.
“This summer we have helped increasing numbers of second-time buyers to sell their existing home in as little as a month, as well as offering quick and simple part-exchange deals on selected new properties.
“Whatever circumstances people are in, the situation is very positive and those who haven’t yet taken advantage of the lower cost of purchasing a home should make sure they don’t miss out.”
