House-builder with developments in Northampton says confidence in the market has been restored

A house-builder that has developments in Northampton has said confidence in the market has bounced back following the easing of lockdown restrictions.

Bloor Homes, the company responsible for the Buckton Fields estate in Welford Road, Boughton, has seen a surge of activity in recent weeks.

The company has reopened its sales offices in line with Government guidelines and even saw 20 sales completed last week alone.

Michele Rose, Bloor Homes’ Midlands regional sales director, said: “During lockdown our sales teams continued to work with customers who were looking to move.

“However, since we have reopened our sales offices, we have seen activity return to pre Covid-19 levels at all our Midlands developments.

“Throughout the lockdown period we saw our sales continue to rise.

“During April and May we had 36 completions across all our sites. This is demonstrating that there is certainly a confidence in the new homes market.”

During the lockdown period, the company offered virtual viewings and whilst buyers are now able to physically visit the sales offices and showhomes, this new remote method continues to remain popular.

Michele Rose added: “It has been great to see appointments being snapped up when we reopened.

“We had 20 sales last week alone, and we are so excited to welcome our buyers into their new homes.

“Buyers who have made the decision to move are keen to progress and with interest rates so low and lenders offering an increasing range of products, now is actually a good time to consider buying a new home.

“This could also be due to people being confined to their homes during the lockdown period and feeling the need for a change.”
