Back

York-based homebuilder Shepherd Homes is happy to report long awaited positive news in the property market in County Durham with the publication of its ‘Property Good News’ special paper.

vSince the start of the year, the homebuilder has enjoyed a 100% increase in reservations whilst the number of potential homebuyers coming to view the five Shepherd Homes developments in County Durham – The Paddocks, Houghton le Spring; Dales View, Consett; Kitswell Park, Lanchester; Finchale View, West Rainton and Roundhaven, near Durham City - has more than doubled.

A combination of the lowest ever interest rates, more competitive mortgages and an increase in people wanting to invest in ‘bricks and mortar’ again after having their confidence shaken by financial institutions has seen buyers return to the idea of moving house. Shepherd Homes has acted quickly to harness these signs of returning confidence by making buying a new home as straightforward as possible.

Tracy Iles, Shepherd Homes’ sales manager, commented: “With all the doom and gloom reported in the media we thought it would be fun to create our own ‘Property Good News’ paper to highlight the positive events at Shepherd Homes’ developments in County Durham. Our ongoing 25% interest free loan scheme – which can make it cheaper to buy than rent – is our headline deal. We also offer a ‘sell your home in seven days’ part exchange scheme and both have been great news for homebuyers.”

The deals have caused a surge in visitors to the developments and a significant increase in the number of people reserving properties. Homebuyers eager to purchase a new home of exceptional quality, which is also an intelligent investment, are now doing so.

Tracy continued: “The revived interest at all five developments confirms what we already knew – that there is plenty of pent up demand for new homes in County Durham. Now, with the market moving again there is a renewed confidence amongst buyers which is the good news story we have all been waiting for.”

The fantastic deals offered by Shepherd Homes now make it more achievable than ever before to own a luxurious new home such as The Jesmond at Finchale View in West Rainton. Priced from £229,995, this stunning four-bedroom house, spread over three floors is available with Shepherd Homes’ 25% interest free loan scheme for just £172,496.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hallway with guest cloakroom, a practical utility room, a flexible fourth bedroom or study and access to the integrated garage. The first floor landing leads to a large airy lounge, a fully fitted spacious kitchen with dining area, a second cloakroom and built in storage. The second floor consists of a large master bedroom with the added luxury of an en suite along with a modern family bathroom and two more good sized bedrooms.
