AWARD-WORTHY LIVING WITH SNUGG HOMES Snugg Homes is the Shared Ownership specialist dedicated to helping buyers across the North West and East Midlands take their first steps on to the property ladder

Whether you’re a first time buyer or just want to find something more affordable that suits your budget, Snugg Homes has a wide range of developments that fit your every need. And now, Birch Fields, one of its outstanding developments in Nottinghamshire, has been nominated in two categories at the First Time Buyer Readers’ Awards – and your vote can make a difference.

WHERE QUALITY MEETS AFFORDABILITY

Birch Fields is an innovative development settled in the proud town of Gedling. With a collection of smart two, three and four bedroom homes, ranging from mews-style, to semi-detached and detached, these properties ensure buyers have the freedom to choose a space that suits their budget, lifestyle and future living needs. Inside, homes are thoughtfully planned to suit modern lifestyles. With different house types offering open-plan living or more traditional separate kitchen and living spaces, buyers can tailor their choices to their individual preferences. Like many Snugg Homes properties, Birch Fields provides landscaped gardens and EV charging points. Selected homes also have energy-efficient features such as solar panels and air source heat pumps to help reduce running costs and save money on your energy bills. Resident Michelle recently moved into her new home at Birch Fields with her young daughter. She said, “Since moving into our home, life has genuinely changed for the better.We are so happy here. Having a beautiful, energy-efficient house has made such a difference – not just financially, but in how comfortable and relaxed we feel every day. It feels like a fresh start for both of us.” Therefore, it’s no surprise that Snugg Homes’ Birch Fields development has secured well-deserved recognition at the First Time Buyer Readers’ Awards. CELEBRATED HOMES A standout example of Snugg Homes’ exemplary design is The Dalby, a three

bedroom semi-detached home perfectly tailored to accommodate modern living. The ground floor offers a flexible living space, with French doors opening on to a private landscaped garden, alongside practical additions such as a downstairs WC and extra storage. Upstairs sit two well-sized single bedrooms and a spacious main bedroom with en suite, plus a contemporary family bathroom. Like all homes at Birch Fields, The Dalby is intentionally designed with carefully considered features, making it an ideal option for first time buyers as well as for growing families. With its commitment to quality homes, Snugg Homes has been recognised at this year’s First Time Buyer Readers’ Awards, with Birch Fields nominated for Best Large Development and The Dalby nominated for Best First Time Buyer Family Home. The voting deadline is 28 August 2026. Visit ftbawards.com and cast your vote for Birch Fields today! WHY SHARED OWNERSHIP? Shared Ownership allows you to purchase a share of your home (usually between 10% and 75% of its value) while paying rent on the remainder. Over time, you can even choose to increase your share in a process known as

“staircasing”, meaning eventually you can own your home outright. The Shared Ownership scheme is the perfect option for potential buyers aged 18 and over with a household income of less than £80,000, providing you meet the eligibility criteria and do not currently own another home.
