NEW HOMES
WE NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD SUCH LUXURY
Megan, 28, and Panny, 31, have just moved to Watford Cross in Hertfordshire from Glasgow to take up jobs in London and through sheer luck they got the apartment they wanted when its previous buyer couldn’t proceed on buying at this Weston Homes development. Panny could not believe the amount of smart technology throughout – from the superfast broadband to digital taps that control the temperature and clever water use in the luxury bathrooms, and the specification which provided them with a fully fitted, high-end designer kitchen. “We got what we wanted – and much more.” Emily Lyle, 24, landed a job after tough competition as a graduate trainee at BP and bought a Weston Homes apartment in Feltham to be near her office. Anticipating her buy, she had recently completed an interior design course and was thrilled with her new home. Moving in early, she had a choice of tiles, floor and kitchen colours and many more fixtures and fittings. She was pleased with the wood-effect floors, fully fitted carpet in her main bedroom, huge wardrobes and big windows for natural light. And the kitchen was fully fitted with A recent poll of Weston Homes buyers concluded that they bought because their properties offered so much more in the price than any other housebuilder

all the white goods and so many fitted cupboards. She chose a stunning midnight blue for her cupboards and selected trend-setting silver matt handles for the units. There are 30 cupboard colours to choose from, in matt, gloss, shaker or other contemporary styles. “I wanted a layout that gave me a spacious living area in the middle and the bedrooms to the left and right – separating the guest bedroom for privacy. Mum says it is like coming to stay in an hotel. The bathrooms have so many cupboards, big steam-free mirrors, high-tech taps and even a built-in digital clock.” Jade, a trainee lawyer, and Jake are both 25. They had planned to go travelling never thinking they could afford a home until they found their apartment on the second floor at 1023 West, a small attractive development of flats in a quiet residential area of Brentwood, Essex. The one they fell for had a large balcony overlooking a landscaped grassy bank. It was close to the old market town of Brentwood in Essex and near important transport links. They moved in with a cat called Franco, a borrowed sofa, curtains and a storage bed. “We were blown away, we could not believe the price,” Jade says. “We made sure to look around at other new build properties in the area. We saw about 10 other flats but nothing compared. With all the extras, our

flat is the same price, and it has a smart shared entrance hall and carpeted hallways that are well looked after. When they visit, all our friends are impressed.” Weston Homes builds new and converted one to four bedroom luxurious homes across London and the South East from £235,000.
