Happy purchasers buy again at The Lilies
Banner Homes prides itself on delivering the best homes possible. So when a purchaser buys a second home from them, they know they have got it right. This is just the case with Matt Sellwood who has just bought a two bedroom terraced home with his girlfriend Lorraine Stratford at Banner Homes’ development The Lilies in Twyford near Reading.
Comments Matt; “Seven years ago I was a first time buyer looking for an apartment and decided that Banner Homes’ development Victoria Place in the centre of Reading was just what I was looking for. I was very impressed with the quality of the apartment and the finish and have spent many happy years there.
“Lorraine and I decided that it was time to move home and get somewhere bigger and felt that Twyford was the best location for us. It is close to Reading to take advantage of all the city has to offer and has excellent transport links, but has the village atmosphere that we are both after. I work from home as an environmental consultant but my office in based in Southampton so I spend a great deal of time on the road. Lorraine is a financial advisor so also spends a great deal of time travelling so the location is perfect for us.
“We decided to have a drive around and saw that Banner Homes were building its new development in the village so decided to take a look. As soon as I saw that the development was Banner Homes I knew that it would have a good specification and the product would be built to a high standard. We were also attracted by the fact that it is a small development, so there will be a sense of community but we are not on top of each other. We visited the show home and were very impressed with the design and layout. After studying the homes available and ruling out a three bedroom home, we decided to make an offer on a two bedroom end of terraced home. It is perfect for us as provides the additional room we need and has a nice rear garden ideal for barbecues, as well as being more private as it is end of terrace.”
Matt and Lorraine are selling their apartment through Banner Homes Premier Part Exchange scheme. Continues Matt, “We decided to use the part exchange scheme as it takes away the worry of selling our own property and makes the whole process much less stressful. We now have no worries about completion dates being different and having to find somewhere else to live. Banner Homes handles the whole process for us and we will not complete on our old home until our new home is ready for us to move into.”
The Lilies is an exclusive collection of 15 two, three, four and five bedroom high quality homes located close to fields, farmland and woodlands. Already 70% of the development has been sold so those still interested in buying should visit before it is too late!
