Case Study 1
Savvy homebuyers in Warrington are setting a new trend when making that all important property purchase. Seizing the recent slowdown in the housing market, increasing numbers of budding buyers have been keen to bag themselves a bargain at Carrington Park.
Like all consumers in the midst of the much-publicised credit crunch, Paddy Blake and Anita Hansford approached the property market with caution when they decided it was time to move from their two bedroom house in Latchford. With a view to finding somewhere more spacious to raise their young family, the couple kept an open mind and began their search across Warrington.
Great time to buy
“There’s a lot of scaremongering going around about the credit crunch” said Anita, “and I’d be lying if I said we didn’t have concerns about making such a massive purchase at a time like this. But after thinking about it carefully, Paddy and I came to the conclusion that if we found the right home, with the right deal, now would actually be a great time to buy.”
Paddy and Anita initially leaned towards a second hand property, believing renovating would be a more economical option than buying a brand new home. When they visited Carrington Park, they realised they were in a position to negotiate a more affordable price, for a home that came complete with the contemporary style and comfort they desired.
Paddy commented: “Countryside Properties appreciates the apprehension a lot of buyers are currently experiencing and they were genuinely prepared to go that extra mile to make our purchase affordable. So when we weighed up how much it would cost us to do up an old house, we realised that buying at Carrington Park saved us time and money – it was everything we wanted without the hard work and huge price tag.”
Hassle free experience
Paddy, Anita and daughter Lauren (13) are now the proud owners of a three bedroom, three-storey townhouse at Carrington Park just off Battersby Lane in Warrington.
Anita commented: “I am due to have a baby in October so it was important for us to move in and settle into our new home quite quickly and with relative ease. Having chosen our property everything snow balled from there and we were moved in, in no time at all. Countryside Properties even paid our stamp duty for us. It’s refreshing to know that there is a property developer that goes above and beyond to help you, the staff did all the hard work to make sure home buying was a hassle free experience.”
Paddy added: “We part exchanged our old property, which prevented a break in the property chain. We didn’t have to worry about selling our old house which meant we had more time to plan our family’s future in our new home. Countryside Properties gives you so many options and guides you through home buying to make your life easier.”
Countryside Properties Regional Sales Director, Andrew Robertson commented: “Homebuyers have been reportedly dubious of the property market due to the over publicised credit crunch. At Countryside Properties we’ve found that well-informed home buyers are taking advantage of the recent dip in the property market. At Countryside Properties we’re committed to making home buying an easy and affordable experience and we’ve found our customers are reaping the benefits.”
