Why now is the time to buy a new home in Ilfracombe
BUYERS are being urged to move fast if they want to beat the Budget and save on a new home in Ilfracombe.
Elan Homes has a small number of properties almost ready to move into at Seascape, with the chance for those who reserve now to move this winter.
Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball said: “There’s lots of speculation about what the budget may hold for the housing market and household finances in general. Some people may be tempted to see what it brings at the end of November, but if they buy now they could move before the budget is announced on November 26 or at least ahead of any changes taking effect.
“Reserve now and you will be able to secure a new home at today’s prices and pay the current rate of Stamp Duty, without having to think about the potential impact of future policy changes that may be brought in which are likely to take weeks, if not months to be implemented. We’ll even help boost your budget with the offer of a 5% deposit contribution or we could offer a host of upgrades to your new home.”
A two-bedroom semi-detached Georgeham is almost ready to move into priced from £249,995. Elan’s offer of a 5% deposit contribution is worth £12,500 on this property.
The Georgeham has a split-level design, with combined kitchen and dining room is at the front of the property at ground level. There’s also a convenient cloakroom on the ground floor.
There are seven steps from the kitchen/ dining room down to the lounge. French doors open out from the lounge room to the garden.
A full flight of stairs leads from the kitchen/ dining room to the first floor, where there are two bedrooms and a bathroom.
The two-bedroom detached Atherington is available from £279,995 and includes up to £10,000 worth of upgrades including flooring and lighting throughout, enhanced kitchen with integrated dishwasher, fitted wardrobe to the main bedroom and turfed rear garden, equipped with exterior socket and tap.
Designed to maximise the potential of the space, it features an open plan layout with combined kitchen, dining area and living room at the front.
The two bedrooms are at the rear of the property, with one benefiting from direct access to the garden via French doors. There’s also a sleek modern bathroom.
The integral garage is at lower ground level.
“The advantage of buying a new home, over an older one, is there’s no need to budget for repairs and renovations,” Tracey added. “Plus, there’s potential for long-term savings as our new homes are more energy efficient than older properties. Heating, hot water and lighting costs are around 50% cheaper in a new house than an older one, with the potential to save almost £1,000 a year.”
Elan’s new homes in Ilfracombe are being built within an established residential area, with nearby amenities including schools and a supermarket. The high street is less than half a mile away and is home to a range of independent retailers. There’s a choice of beaches nearby, plus Exmoor National Park is within easy reach.
