Scrum-ptious show home makes its 'Debut'

Wed, Jan 16th 2008, 16:30

The interior of Redrow’s new ‘Debut’ show home at Dôl Gorwel has been styled by home furnishings store IKEA and, as an added treat for cash-strapped first time buyers, customers moving in will receive a £1,000 IKEA furniture pack to transform their new property into a dream home.

Prices of Redrow’s multi-award winning Debut range at Dôl Gorwel start from less than £70,000, if purchasers take advantage of the Easi-buy option to defer 10% of the initial purchase price. There’s also a single monthly service charge that covers gas, water and electricity bills as well as external maintenance, to make budgeting easy for first time home owners.

Rachael Davies, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales), said: “Redrow has recently re-signed a sponsorship deal with the Celtic Crusaders so we’ve invited the players along to kick-off the launch of our fabulous new show home. Visitors on the day will get the chance to meet their favourite rugby stars as well as enjoying refreshments and a chat with our experienced and friendly sales advisors.

“Having a beautifully decorated and furnished property to look around gives buyers the perfect opportunity to envisage themselves living in one of our sought-after Debut homes. IKEA have a similar young and fashionable customer profile to our Debut range and the clean-lined contemporary IKEA furniture and modern colour-scheme really shows off the interior to its full potential.

“Debut is definitely a winning formula for people who otherwise could not afford to get onto the property ladder - and certainly not with an easy to maintain, brand new home and all the benefits that brings.

“A one-bedroom ‘D2’ property is priced from just £69,745 if purchasers take advantage of the Easi-buy option to defer 10% of the initial purchase price; they also get the reassurance of a 10-year National Housebuilding Council ‘Buildmark’ warranty.

“The monthly service charge makes it easy for buyers to budget for household bills – and even includes the window cleaning. It’s home ownership made simple, as well as affordable.”

Debut offers stylish, contemporary designs and the properties are built to high quality standards, with sustainability and energy efficiency a key factor. Much of the cost-saving comes from the use of lightweight structural steel frame and other modern methods of construction, which speed up the build programme without compromising on quality.

Communal heating and hot water systems also bring cost savings, whilst replacing private gardens with contemporary shared outdoor space – looked after by Redrow’s own management company - means homes take up less land than conventional homes, whilst inspiring a sense of community.

The Celtic Crusaders rugby team will be at Dôl Gorwel on Saturday, January 26 to welcome buyers to the development. Visitors can take a tour round the ‘D3’ show home, a two-storey, one-bedroom design, and speak to Redrow’s sales consultants about how they can make moving to Dôl Gorwel even easier.

First time buyers can register their interest by calling 01656 746249 or log on to www.redrow.co.uk/developments/view/58.
