Posted 28 September 2016 by
Keith OsborneWhile you may think it’s a little early to be talking about Christmas, it really isn’t if you’re serious about finding a new home and moving into it in good time for the festive season.
Taking into account the whole of the property-buying process – from visiting sites and looking around show homes, through sorting out your mortgage and finance and working through the legal system – you really need to start now to make sure you leave enough time for everything to be done.
Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be looking in detail at a range of new build homes that can be bought and moved into by Christmas Eve. This time around, we take a detailed look at homes in East Anglia that will be ready in time.
