Homebuyers in Chester are one step ahead
Housebuilder Morris has seen a surge of savvy homebuyers looking to benefit from current low interest rates and the great offers currently available at the Tower Wharf development by buying off-plan.
Chris Minshall, regional sales director for Morris, said: “Buying off-plan gives you a rare opportunity to choose a plot with the best view or best spot in the building and plenty of time to plan and prepare for the move.
“It also gives you a chance to personalise the property by having more of a say with the layout of your home and preferred fittings and features.”
The housebuilder is also currently offering the popular part-exchange scheme on selected homes at the development which enables buyers to sell their existing property direct to Morris for 100% of its value.
Chris added, “Our part-exchange scheme is ideal for anyone who is struggling to sell their current home. Morris can simply deduct the value of a homebuyer’s existing property from the price of their new Tower Wharf residence. Not only does guarantee a buyer, but also avoids estate agency fees, and makes for a much quicker, and more straightforward process.”
TOP TIPS FOR GETTING AHEAD
Morris has put together a simple five-step guide for people looking to buy a property off-plan.
•Check the site plan – it’s vital to check the site plan carefully to ensure you choose the plot that’s right for you. Morris has development plans at all its schemes and the sales advisors will be happy to talk through the position and layout of any homes that interest you.
•Visit other developments – although your home won’t be built yet, your housebuilder is likely to have similar properties available at some of its other developments. Visit one of these to get a feel for the room proportions and layout of your new home.
•Research your builder – Look out for the signs of excellence in a company’s reputation. The Home Builder Federation’s (HBF) National New Home Customer Satisfaction Survey is a good indication of how trusted the housebuilders are within the industry. Morris achieved a full five star rating in the survey – one of the few housebuilders in the country to do so.
•Check out the showhome – the showhome is often one of the first properties to be built on a new development. Take a good look round as this will give you an idea of the specification and quality of finish that you can expect in your home.
•Longevity – You don’t want a home that will become a money pit or fall apart the minute you step through the door. Morris is registered with the National House Building Council (NHBC), which is the industry’s standard setting body for quality. Any new home registered with the NHBC benefits from a 10-year warranty, giving you piece of mind if anything should go wrong.
Tower Wharf has been designed to make the most of its unique location, by providing a choice of spacious apartments and distinctive townhouses in the very heart of the city centre for those who crave modern urban living without compromising on space.
Tower Wharf includes a selection of two-bedroom apartments and three bedroom townhouses starting from just £158,750.
