Time to make a move? We can help.
However many times you’ve moved home, it’s always daunting. And if you’re lucky enough to have decades of happy memories in your current home, it’s tricky to know where to start.
This 3 step guide takes you through the process, so you’ll see exactly what to expect and how we can support you.
1.Find the perfect property
Your first step will probably be to look at our apartments online. Once you’ve found one you like in the right location, you can go on a virtual tour, request a brochure, or speak to a Sales Consultant about arranging a visit.Some of our apartments will be ready to move into right away, others may be still at the design and build stage – which is great if you’re planning ahead.
Development under construction? Stay up to date
If you want information about a development that’s under construction, including details of when you can reserve an apartment, you need to register your interest. We’ll keep you up to date on progress from planning permission onwards. You can usually reserve an apartment that’s still being built around six months before it’s finished.You are bound to have lots of questions at this stage, but our friendly Sales Consultants are there to answer all of them.
As much — or as little — help as you want
We’re here to make life easier. You can choose the level of support you’d like with:
- Selecting estate agents and solicitors
- Selling, buying, renting, part exchange and/or part-ownership
- Advice on decluttering and downsizing
