Energy-Efficient Home For First-Time Buyers In Surrey
Posted 8 February 2023 by
Helen ChristieHenry Walker and his partner Hannah Pullen bought their first home together from award-winning developer London Square and have been delighted by the low energy and running costs of their stylish one bedroom apartment, which they bought off-plan and moved in last year.
The couple, who are both teachers in Surrey, had previously been living at their family homes. During the summer of 2021, they decided they would like to move in together and purchase their first home. They moved in at the beginning of 2022 into a one-bedroom apartment at London Square Walton On Thames, in a stylish building set in over five acres of grounds, with mature trees, shrubs and landscaped areas, part of a collection of Arts and Crafts style houses and apartments at the new neighbourhood in Stompond Lane in the popular commuter town in Surrey.
Henry, who is 24, says: “As our jobs and families are based in Surrey, we wanted to stay in the Elmbridge area. We had an open mind about whether we would like a new build or an older property. The deciding factor was the location and the reputation of London Square, as we knew that the flat would be of superb quality. The reviews for London Square gave us great confidence to buy off plan. The sales team were extremely helpful and the purchase went through smoothly.
“We were so impressed with the floorplans for our apartment, and we designed and viewed these in 3D using an App. We were able to play around with different colours and sizes of furniture so that we could buy the large items for our flat before moving in, and be confident that they would fit and look good and the finishings would be perfect – and they are. The layout of the kitchen is particularly spacious and homely. We are also finding that the flat is extremely economical to run, as our gas, electricity and water bills have been very reasonable, which is of course a big bonus in the current climate. This is down to the appliances and insulation provided by London Square. We couldn’t be happier living here and would definitely recommend London Square to anyone looking to move home to a new development.”
