HOUSEBUILDER, David Wilson South Midlands, is celebrating the success of its latest Milton Keynes development, Inspirations in Broughton, where no less than twelve new homes have been snapped up off plan proving that buying a home prior to construction has great appeal.

And in fact, increasing numbers of homehunters are picking up on the advantages that come with buying a new home before build work is completed.

Jackie Day, Sales Director at David Wilson, comments “Buying off plan offers a number of benefits for buyers not least they can secure the home they want on the plot of their choice.

“Plus, it is usual practice for developers to sell the first homes on any development off-plan at more competitive prices to encourage sales and get an early return on investment so those who buy first can be sure to achieve excellent value for money.

“What's more, buying off-plan with a major developer such as David Wilson means you can rest assured that everything is in place to ensure that your property will be completed to a high standard.”

Off-plan purchasers have the advantage of being able to personalise their new home from the outset by determining the colour schemes of kitchens, bathrooms and tiles. They also enjoy all the benefits traditionally associated with new homes – minimal maintenance, fresh décor, good insulation, the latest double glazing and energy efficient central heating.

Jackie adds “Buying off plan gives purchasers the chance to stamp their own personal design preferences onto their new home prior to moving in by allowing them to choose the finishes of certain interiors such as the kitchen units, tiling and flooring.

“This is proving a big draw for customers who are keen to make their home their own before even stepping foot inside their new home.”

The housebuilder has enjoyed off-plan success at its latest Milton Keynes development, Inspirations, which is located on Newport Road.

Boasting a contemporary collection of two- and three- bedroom homes in a convenient location close to the motorway, the homes on offer seem to have met the local demand for smaller, starter homes.

Since its launch last year, no less than twelve new homes have been snapped up off plan and this has been coupled with an abundance of enquiries from homehunters keen to secure a property at this sought after scheme.

This has resulted in just one property currently being available to buy which is a three- bedroom home in the style of an Alexander and it is priced at £202,995.

For added peace of mind, buyers can also benefit from David Wilson's new five year guarantee on fixtures and fittings in their new home at the time of purchase. Items covered at no extra cost to the buyer will include appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators, kitchen units, wardrobes, the central heating system, fires, doors, windows, drainage, the hot and cold plumbing system and even the driveway.
