Several changes that effect buyers decisions at the moment include the looming reintroduction of stamp duty for properties over £125,000 and the pending threat of VAT being reintroduced to at least 17.5% which will have a real effect on the cost of both furnishings, white goods and of course legal fees.  This seems to be focusing purchasers including investors to snap up a bargain.

We have watched with interest the recent announcements from the Government concerning the Eco-towns that are to be developed.  Four sites have now been ear-marked: Rackheath in Norfolk; north west Bicester in Oxfordshire; Whitehill Bordon in East Hants and more local to us the China Clay Community near St Austell in Cornwall.

Whilst we applaud the governments stance on eco developments it is questionable if it has been fully thought through.

July and August will see further completions particularly at Edwards Apartments where there are just 3 remaining homes from £99,950. 

Another completion is scheduled to take place within the next few days and a young family are set to move into Fairglen in time for Summer!  This means that all 3 bedroomed homes within Phase 1 have now been sold. 

Phase 2 is in the planning stage and we are delighted to be receiving lots of interest from potential buyersand what they want in their eco home.  At this early stage buyers can have some input in what they really want or do not want in their house.
