The Woolsack Sprint! Tetbury homebuyers could swap the off-plan marathon for a move–in ready finish. With just 11 weeks to go until the starting gun fires for the famous Tetbury Woolsack Races on the 25 May, the countdown has begun. Not only for competitors preparing to tackle the gruelling climb up Gumstool Hill. But also for house hunters who want to be settled in a new home in time for one of Tetbury’s most iconic events.
Two distinct routes to a new build home
For those considering a new build home, the local property market offers two distinct routes. Buying off-plan and waiting for construction to be completed. Or choosing a finished new build home that is ready to move into immediately. A finished new build home is emerging as the preferred choice for those wanting to skip the construction wait and head straight for the trophy prize.
Choosing a completed home can significantly shorten the moving timeline
According to Newland Homes, who are building 45 zero carbon homes on London Road, choosing a completed home rather than buying off-plan can significantly shorten the moving timeline. “The difference between buying a brand-new finished home and an off-plan purchase is like the difference between a quick dash to the Woolsack finish line and warming up at the start of the race” explains Marcus Evans, Sales & Marketing Director for Newland Homes.
Marcus continues: “Prospective buyers looking to avoid the heavy lifting of a long construction wait are turning to move in ready homes. Rather than relying on plans and build timetables, purchasers can walk through the finished homes. They can see how the light falls in the day, understand the layout and garden spaces, and picture themselves living there straight away. It’s a tactical move for anyone who wants to be hosting a Woolsack weekend BBQ in their new home.”
Zero carbon homes just a short walk from the heart of the town
The Limes is a collection of zero carbon homes designed with sustainable living and community in mind. In total, 45 two, three and four bedroom homes are being built. They combine traditional craftsmanship and Cotswold stone with the latest energy efficiency technology, just a short walk from the heart of the historic town.
Many homes have already been completed and are occupied, with the development now well established. A handful of new homes are finished and ready to move into. With the homes’ reliance on renewable energy for heat and power rather than fossil fuels proving extremely popular with buyers.
Prices at The Limes start from £290,000 for a two bedroom terraced home. With options such as MoveMaker and Part Exchange to help purchasers move. As the town gears up for the famously gruelling hill climb, the message for house hunters is clear.
