Moving Made Easy Event In Huntingdon This Weekend

WhatHouse? Award-winning housebuilder Crest Nicholson is hosting an exclusive Moving Made Easy event on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 November between 10am and 5pm, at its sought-after Alconbury Weald development in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

In the current market, people may have questions about the home buying process. The event at Alconbury Weald is the perfect opportunity for prospective buyers to have their questions answered and learn more about the process, as a financial adviser, Evolve, and Crest Nicholson’s friendly sales executives will be on hand to help them navigate the current landscape. Attendees can also take a look around the four-bedroom Somerton show home to help them envision what it’d be like to join Alconbury Weald’s bustling community. In addition, to help make the Stamp Duty changes set out by the government go even further for purchasers, Crest Nicholson is offering to contribute toward stamp duty costs of buyers’ new homes, on select plots this weekend, meaning a lower upfront cost is needed.

The event will also be an opportunity for prospective buyers to learn more about the schemes available to support them in securing their dream home, including Part Exchange, SmoothMove and Deposit Unlock.

Crest Nicholson’s Part Exchange scheme is a great option for upsizers, growing families and those looking for a stress-free move. Crest Nicholson purchases your existing property, and its value is taken away from the price of the new property you are buying, meaning you just pay the difference between the two. The scheme has the added benefit of removing the risk of complicated chain delays, and subject to approval, you can remain in your current property until your new home is ready.

Ideally suited to those downsizing, SmoothMove streamlines the buying and selling process. Crest Nicholson will manage the sale of your existing property – arranging a valuation, viewings and paying the estate agent’s fees, meaning you can go ahead and reserve your Crest Nicholson property right away.

Perfect for first-time buyers and those moving up the property ladder, Deposit Unlock enables you to buy a Crest Nicholson home with just a 5% deposit, by offering access to competitively priced mortgage products.

Karen Coulson, sales and marketing director at Crest Nicholson Eastern, comments: “In the current market, we’re seeing customers increasingly looking to take advantage of schemes such as Part Exchange, SmoothMove and Deposit Unlock which can help take some of the stress and cost out of moving. We’re keen to support homebuyers and give them a helping hand, so as an added benefit for this weekend only, we’ll also contribute toward buyers’ stamp duty costs, helping your money to go further.

“Surrounded by hundreds of acres of open space, Alconbury Weald gives residents the chance to live in a tranquil setting whilst benefitting from living in an already thriving new community, and excellent transport connections into nearby towns and cities. With only a few homes remaining, we’re excited to welcome prospective buyers to the development this weekend, giving them the chance to have their questions answered, and understand how we can make buying your dream home a reality.”

The homes available include the Monksfield, Somerton and Calder house types. Each home features spacious, light and airy ground floors with large kitchen-diners and separate living rooms, with the Calder additionally benefitting from a separate dining room. All three have direct access onto their own private gardens via double French doors, and the Somerton comes complete with a large bay window to the living room. Each property additionally has their own garage and parking spaces. On the first floor, each property has four bedrooms, with the main bedrooms benefitting from their own en suites and the remaining bedrooms sharing well-proportioned family bathrooms. 

There is currently a selection of four-bedroom homes available for sale at Alconbury Weald, with prices starting at £420,000. Select plots are available with Part Exchange, SmoothMove and Deposit Unlock, alongside Stamp Duty contributions.
