First-time new home buyers at a two year high

An increasing number of first time buyers are purchasing their new home, as Moneyfacts report that new home buyers are at a two year high.

Their figures come from the latest First-Time Buyer Tracker from Your Move and Reeds Rains and show that a total of 32,000 completed first time buyer sales were recorded in April this year.  This figure shows an increase of 14.9 per cent from March and an overall 37.4 per cent rise year-on-year.  The figures also mark the highest monthly total seen since June 2014 when 33,300 first time buyer purchases were recorded.

The research states that this strong growth in sales is coming from changes to Stamp Duty brought in this year,  These changes have caused a drop in the number of landlords looking to purchase additional properties.  This has meant that currently the competition for properties has receded and new home buyers now have more of a choice of affordable housing as a result.

Gretton Valley offers contemporary and traditional new homes

For first time buyers looking to take advantage of these changes, the Larkfleet developments at Bourne Heights, Bourne and Gretton Valley in Weldon offer a mix of new home sizes and styles.  With traditional and contemporary new homes with one to five bedrooms, both developments offer cost saving solar panels fitted as standard.  Both are within easy reach of major routes to main towns and cities and offer great local facilities.   Both developments have recently been launched.  Bourne Heights is still offering a generous pre-launch discount whilst free flooring is on offer at Gretton Valley this week.

Why should you buy a new home?

Why should you consider buying a brand new home?  Here's why -

A fresh start

A new home is bright, clean and fresh and untouched by previous owners!  No dodgy DIY, no holes in the wall to fill, no expensive kitchens to replace!  It is a blank canvas on which you can stamp your own style and personality.


Less chain, less hassle

With a brand new home, there is no chain, so no waiting, no uncertainty and far, far less stress.


Greener and cheaper

Our Larkfleet homes are built to the latest environment standards, with sustainable timber frames, so they are not only better for the planet they are also cheaper to run.

As well as reducing carbon dioxide emissions, the Home Builders Federation suggests that the energy efficiency of a new home means you could save up to £1,400 a year on utility bills compared to a Victorian equivalent.  Our homes also come with solar panels fitted as standard, so your home really is as green as it can be!


More for your money

Your new home will come with central heating, double glazing, high standards of roof, floor and wall insulation.  It will also come with a new fitted kitchen and fashionable bathrooms with the latest styles in flooring and tiling.  Your garden will be newly laid and ready for you to get gardening!


Spoilt for choice


Our developments offer a wide number of styles and design of homes.  As an example, our new Gretton Valley development offers thirteen different styles of one, two, three, four and five bedroom homes.

Great prices

We offer great deals, including pre-launch reservation prices which are now available at Bourne Heights, Gretton Valley, Thorney Meadows, Doddington Grange, Greetham Square and our upcoming sites in Pinchbeck and Colsterworth.

DIY not included!

One of the absolute advantages of buying a new home is the fact that no DIY or upgrading is needed.  Your new home will obviously come with brand new fixtures and fittings, all of which will be covered by guarantees.  Not only does this mean your move will be as about as stress free as it can get but it also keeps the costs of settling into your new home down by an extraordinary amount.

The recent Home Builders Federation survey, undertaken for this week's New Homes Week, showed that the average cost of upgrading a second hand home sits at around £45,000, with changes being made to decoration, bathrooms and kitchens.  Other upgrades include the installation of double glazed windows, new floors and upgraded heating and plumbing systems.

Your new home will come with all of this already in place and will have met stringent building regulations, had regular inspections to ensure all of the work done is up to or beyond the expected standards and will come with a 10 year warranty.

If you are looking for your first home, a new family home or are looking to downsize, take a look at our latest developments at Gretton Valley, Corby and Bourne Heights, Bourne.  We also have five more exciting developments to launch this summer.

Tech Tuesday! New Homes Week

Today is 'Tech Tuesday', the second day of celebrating 'New Homes Week'. The focus of today is all about the new technologies for new homes.

Larkfleet Homes is known to be a trend setting and forward thinking company.  We were one of the very first home builders to offer solar photovoltaic (PV) panels as standard on the majority of our new houses.  These solar panels ensure the home owner's energy costs are kept to an absolute minimum.  They are installed as the house is built along with the control equipment.  The panels produce electricity from daylight, generating usable power even on cloudy days.

Our latest developments at Bourne Heights, Bourne, Gretton Valley, Weldon and Greetham Square, Greetham and Thorney Meadows, Thorney will be showcasing new homes with solar panel installations.

Reserve your new home at pre-launch prices

Our latest development, Bourne Heights in Bourne, Lincolnshire, is already taking reservations just two weeks after launching.

New home buyers can take advantage of our pre-launch prices and reserve their new home this month.  Still available are two, three and five bedroom homes in a number of styles and with solar panels fitted as standard.

Bourne Heights is on the outskirts of the pretty market town of Bourne, lying right in the heart of south Lincolnshire  It is in an outstanding location with green open spaces nearby, making it the perfect place for families and professionals.  Local schools, colleges and transport links are within easy reach as are all the family facilities you could need. 

New home buyers can take advantage of the 'Help to Buy' scheme at Bourne Heights.  The Help to Buy scheme allows home buyers to own 100 per cent of their new Larkfleet home with just a 75 per cent mortgage and a 5 per cent deposit. The remaining 20 per cent of the purchase price is paid for through an equity loan from the government*.

Run for Fun!

We are delighted to be sponsoring the Bourne Fun Run again this year.  Larkfleet has been involved with the Bourne Rotary Club fun run for a number of years. It is an event close to our heart as our CEO, Karl Hick, is a keen runner.

This year the run is being held on Sunday 10 April.  Entry forms are available from Rutland Sports
Runners can either take the 3 km or 10 km route, both of which meander through Bourne Woods.  The 3 km route is aimed at fun runners and youngsters (8 years upwards), whilst those with more serious intentions can take the 10 km route.

Last year the Rotary Club attracted 350 runners and raised £4,500 for local charities.

New house completions in the eastern region reach a seven year high.

Developers in the eastern region have helped to drive new house completions to a seven year high.

The number of starts and completions on new build homes continued to rise last year to the highest level since 2008 according to new government figures.

The number of new build homes completed by private housebuilders such as Larkfleet Homes has risen 20 per cent on the previous year, while those completed by housing associations is up 27 per cent over the same period.

The figures show that more than 143,500 new build homes were started in the eastern counties in 2015 - nearly double the low point of 2009.

Larkfleet Homes is soon to add to these figures with the start of two new developments, Bourne Heights in the Lincolnshire village of Bourne and Gretton Valley in Corby, Northamptonshire.  To register your interest in either development, go to www.larkfleethomes.co.uk
