Autumn brings with it that unmistakable transitional feeling. It’s a time for fresh starts and new beginnings, and if you’ve been thinking about moving house, then in our experience, this is a great time to do it. Before the Christmas countdown starts, October gives you the perfect window in which to find your new dream home. Let’s take a look at all the reasons why.
A Great Time to Sell Your Home
Generally speaking, autumn is a perfect time for thinking about moving. If you have a home to sell, you can target those buyers who want to find something before the new year or even move in before Christmas. When thinking about showing your home to its full potential, you can tap into the seasonal mood to make it look warm and inviting. An autumnal wreath on your door is a great way to set the tone. Inside, a few soft furnishings can make your home feel snug and cosy – think oversized velvety cushions, wool throws and shaggy rugs in seasonal colours of burnt orange, plum and soft browns. Soft, layered lighting, too, will add to the intimate vibe.
Beat the Christmas Rush
With fewer working days, December can be a hectic month for buyers, agents and solicitors. Reserving your new home in October gives you breathing room to get paperwork moving before the festive season kicks in. The best place to start is to take a look at our current developments and then get in touch to arrange a viewing. Once you’ve found your dream property, you can head into Christmas happy in the knowledge that you’ll be moving into your home in the new year. We also have a range of incentives, including cashback on some plots, saving you money to spend on Christmas festivities instead.

Energy Savings Straight Away
With energy costs due to rise again, moving into an energy-efficient new home in the winter season will help reduce bills from day one. Our modern family homes are built with the latest energy-efficient features, including high-quality insulation, double-glazed windows and doors, and modern appliances. Every home also comes with an EV charging point as standard. With so many things to think about when moving, knowing that your home’s energy efficiency is taken care of is one less worry — and it gives you that little bit more to spend on the fun things in life.
