This year’s theme is ‘The Power to Move’. To give their buyers that power, Barratt and David Wilson Homes are setting out key information for house hunters to peruse at their leisure and find a clear image of their next steps.
When?
RightMove predicts that 2026 will be a positive year for the buyer market, thanks to more homes being available, improved affordability and lower mortgage rates than the year before.
It means that this year is a great time to start researching properties, considering how a brand-new home could best suit any current or future lifestyle changes.
Why?
When buying a house, ‘Why?’ is a key question that all house hunters should be asking themselves: Why are they moving? Why choose one home over another? What factors should they be looking for in a home?
There are a variety of reasons why someone would want to move, including changes in their commute, either a new job or changing to a remote working lifestyle, upsizing or downsizing, and getting into the right school catchment areas.
Whatever the reason might be, even if a buyer just needs a change of scenery, it’s better to have a clear idea of what they will or will not compromise on to move forward with certainty.
Commuters should keep an eye out for nearby public transport options, access to motorways and quality of local infrastructure. Having these as non-negotiables cuts down their options and gets rid of time-wasting visits.
Where?
There are a variety of developments with brand-new homes available around Lincolnshire, including Barratt Homes at Bourne and David Wilson Homes’ Pastures Place development in Corby Glen.
What (can get you moving)?
Housebuilders Barratt and David Wilson Homes have made a variety of schemes and offers available for buyers at various stages of the housing ladder to help them get the best possible deal out of their new property.
Schemes like Part Exchange and Movemaker are designed to help second steppers by eliminating estate agent fees and ensuring a smooth sale of an existing property. The Deposit Boost scheme helps first time buyers secure lower interest rates on their mortgage, while the Key Worker Deposit Contribution scheme assists essential workers looking to take the first or next step on the property ladder.
Who?
Kerry Mullen, Sales Director at David Wilson Homes, said: “New Homes Week is always an important date in our calendar and we hope to ease any worries that those looking to move homes might have.
“We encourage anyone interested in moving home, no matter the reason, to visit our developments so our fantastic sales teams can talk them through exactly what they need to know and how they can move forward.”
