Top reasons why off-plan could be the right plan for homebuyers in Norfolk

Leading housebuilder Barratt Homes is encouraging Norfolk property seekers to consider the benefits of buying off-plan at its Wayland Fields development in Watton.

Buying a home off-plan involves purchasing a home before the property has been finished, or in some cases, before construction on the building has begun. 

Wayland Fields, off Thetford Road, has proven a huge success with homebuyers in the area due to its sought-after market town location, with a number of its residents having secured a home off-plan.

The development has a selection of three and four bedroom homes available to buy, offering the perfect place to settle for first time buyers, working professionals and growing families alike. 

Barratt Homes is highlighting the range of benefits that buying in the early construction process provides to customers who are looking to buy a new home. 

Alison Page, Head of Sales at Barratt Homes Anglia, said: “Helping a customer buy a property off-plan has to be one of the most exciting and rewarding aspects of our job due to the amount of input purchasers have on the design of their new home. 

“Giving homebuyers the opportunity to select their preferred fixtures and fittings enables them to play an exciting role in the project and have a home that is exactly how they want it by the time they move in.”

To help those considering whether to buy off-plan, Barratt Homes Anglia has put together its top reasons on why making this type of move is a fantastic option to take on.

Make it your own 

One of the biggest advantages of buying off-plan is that Barratt Homes frequently offers customers a range of upgrades and enhancements to their new home. 

Have a say on your preferred flooring, fixtures, and fittings – and sometimes even furnishings and appliances – as opposed to these decisions being made for you.

From nothing to something 

In the same way businessmen and women enjoy watching their company grow from a start-up to something much bigger, buying a home off-plan provides an exciting opportunity to see a project progress over time.

Experience the thrill of seeing your home transform from a hole in the ground to a brand new spring of life. Perhaps you could even document the journey on social media for your family and friends to share the experience with you!

Brand new for you

There’s nothing more special than being the first ever person (or people) to move into your new home.

Take pleasure in knowing that the entire space is a fresh canvas, which has been carefully-designed for you.

Enjoy forming a new community with other like-minded people, and bond through the unique experience you share together. 

Get first dibs on location

A key benefit of opting for an off-plan home is that you get to pick which area of land you would like to live on. 

Whether that be on the edge of the development to ensure quick access to nearby roads, or in the middle of the complex to be closer to green open space, the choice is yours!

Beat your neighbours to it and secure your preference of location before anyone else has moved into the development. You’ll also avoid the disappointment of missing out on a home completely in situations where more popular developments sell out quickly.
