Show House Launch In Old Felixstowe This Weekend

Generator Group is holding an open weekend to launch a professionally decorated and fitted example of its new house type ‘The Tennyson’ at Laureate Fields in Old Felixstowe on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 November, between 10.00am and 5.00pm.

The show house has been curated by Dial Furnishings and those that reserve a ‘Tennyson’ during the launch weekend will receive a furniture package worth £10,000 (terms and conditions apply). An interiors consultant from Dial will be present on the day to talk you through your options or alternatively, those that already have furniture can choose to put their £10,000 towards a flooring and landscaping package instead.

Customers attending the event will also be able to consult a specialist new homes mortgage adviser on the best deals and calculate how much they can borrow.

Commenting, Ellie Miners, sales and marketing manager at Generator Group, said: “We look forward to welcoming buyers through the doors and showing them our exclusive ‘Tennyson’ collection. We’re offering incentives worth £10,000 for those that reserve on the day as well as supplying delicious cakes from Cake Away, so please get in touch to book your place to avoid disappointment.”

Mark La Cock from Aspire Mortgages said: “Whether you’re looking for a new mortgage or to port an existing one, our live system enables us to check your current rate against the latest deals and assess any early exit penalties.

“Rates have gone down tremendously and it’s a great time to lock in cheap deals. 90% LTV mortgages have returned with rates falling by as much as 1.5% since the first lockdown; whilst the market for low LTV mortgages has been extremely competitive as lenders fight for business. We’ve seen 75% LTV two-year fixes at 0.89% and five-year fixes at just 1.17%. Some customers might be better off swallowing penalty fees and choosing a new product.”

Jai Desai, interiors consultant at Dial Furnishings, said: “Buyers will have £10,000 to spend on a range of furniture carefully selected for our ‘Tennyson’ catalogue; or they can put that money towards a full interior design service and have pieces custom made. We designed the show house to serve as a show room for our furniture, so buyers will be able to see what they’re getting in the flesh and try it out. We hope they like it as much as we do.”

Priced at £750,000, ‘The Tennyson’ is Laureate Fields’ largest, most exclusive house type at 1,959 sq ft. Offering generous room proportions with a master suite and three further double bedrooms, it also features a second living room on the first floor with a full-width balcony to maximise views onto the Bawdsey Estuary.
