Off-plan purchases can bring an advantage at The Larches, says Rippon Homes

Buying a brand new home off-plan could bring a number of advantages to house-hunters, says Rippon Homes, as it continues preparations for its new development in Bilsthorpe, Nottinghamshire – The Larches.

The housebuilder is urging homebuyers to consider the ‘early-bird’ decision to buy before construction starts at the development.

Ian Dyke, managing director of Rippon Homes, says: “Buying off-plan has many advantages. This is an exclusive development of just six homes and we have already received a very high level of interest.”

There are three reasons to buy off-plan that the Rippon team is pushing to buyers for them to consider taking the plunge at this early stage:

• Beat the rush – pick your favourite plot before someone else does. Acting quickly will ensure you get the home type you want on the plot you want.
• Secure at today’s prices – inevitably, prices rise over time and even if the home you want were still available in a year’s time, it would almost certainly be more expensive than it is now.
• Personalise your home – at an early stage, you can make sure you get the tiles, flooring, worktops and kitchen unit finishes you want around the house to put your own stamp on your brand new home.

The Larches comprises one style of two-bedroom home and two styles of three-bedroom homes. Each has its own garage and private driveway, so parking is plentiful. Prices currently start at £149,950 and furthermore, the government’s Help to Buy scheme is available on all of them, allowing the buyer to purchase with just a 5% deposit.

Dyke adds: “Bungalows aren’t just for the elderly anymore. We’re seeing a huge increase in young professionals and families wanting to cash in on the benefits of one-level living. Bungalows appeal to homebuyers as they offer an easier approach to life with less maintenance and a Rippon bungalow also boasts all the usual benefits that come with a brand new home, not least a contemporary stunning specification built in selected locations.”

This development is within easy reach of Nottinghamshire’s major towns, Mansfield, Newark and Nottingham, as well as leisure options such as Sherwood Forest and Rufford Park Golf and Country Club.
