First Impressions Counted at The Fairways

As a freelance hair and makeup artist, first impressions count for Gail Webber and she knew from the first visit to her new home that she had made the right decision. A journey that spanned two continents, culminated at Kier Living’s The Fairways in Corby.

After moving from Sandy, Bedfordshire to South Africa at the age of 21 and then back to the UK, Gail brought up her children in Northampton, before finally deciding on Corby for her new home.

Gail says: “I knew from the moment I set eyes on the Palmerston at The Fairways, Priors Hall Park, that I’d made the right decision."

Gail’s search for a new home began in 2018, but it wasn’t an easy ride. The 56-year old says: “Being close to nature has always been important to me, so I was very lucky that the home I had in Northampton backed on to a wood, which my children and I loved, with the opportunities to camp and climb trees. This influenced my decision to move to Priors Hall Park as it’s very open, especially on the east side, where I now live. And once the development is complete, I can hop on my mountain bike and cycle to neighbouring areas like Weldon and Dene Park.”

Gail’s decision to settle at Priors Hall Park was influenced by a friend who had moved there and recommended it. “She bought a home and told me about the great value for money here, compared to nearby Kettering,” Gail continues.

Even after settling on Priors Hall Park, Gail didn’t get to her Kier Living Palmerston house type without her fair share of bad luck. “It’s been a long journey. A friend recommended another developer, but the sale fell through and it’s safe to say, I wasn’t happy.”

Then, as a disappointed Gail was leaving Priors Hall Park, a moment of serendipity struck.

“As I was leaving the other developer’s site for the last time, I looked up and saw the Kier Living flag waving proudly across the site. I thought to myself ‘there’s a new set of show homes there, so I may as well take a look’ and I was impressed.”

“The Kier Living team were brilliant and I bought a corner plot with plenty of space, using Help to Buy. The customer service, in particular from Donna Clorley in the sales office, was excellent throughout. This goes for the site manager as well, who’s immediately dealt with anything I’ve brought up.”

Gail couldn’t have been more pleased with her new home, especially when her brother, a site manager for a developer elsewhere, paid her a visit just three days after moving in. “After looking around he told me he couldn’t believe the quality and standard of finish throughout.”
