Slippers and CDs are the more typical presents on offer at this time of year, but a leading house builder is offering something very special in Widnes…

Many people would love a new home, especially in time for Christmas, but find that saving enough for a deposit and stamp duty is just too difficult when there are presents to be bought and parties to attend. To solve this problem, Redrow is introducing its ‘Fast Track Homes’ – designed to help customers move into their new home as swiftly as possible, with the minimum amount of fuss.

So what exactly is a Fast Track Home? Well, those on offer at the Chapel Gate development at Ditton, in Widnes, have everything you need to get started – they’re built and ready to move into straight away, and come with a whole range of other benefits to make life easier.

Patsy Aicken, sales director for Redrow (North West) says: “We know that moving home can be a headache, especially in the busy festive season, so we’ve tried to take the stress out of it for our customers by introducing our Fast Track service on selected plots. For everyone who reserves and completes their purchase on a Fast Track home at Chapel Gate on or before 22nd December, we have some very special offers.

“We are offering to take care of the 5% deposit, as well as the stamp duty, on the selected properties, meaning you don’t have to save up before moving in. We’ll also throw in fitted carpets throughout and a landscaped garden – the perfect spot to build your snowman this year!”

Among the Fast Track properties at Chapel Gate is the Ribble, priced from £215,000. This design comprises a spacious lounge, kitchen, dining room and cloakroom on the ground floor. The first floor houses three double bedrooms and the family bathroom, while the second floor accommodates the superb master bedroom with en-suite shower room – which could also be used to give older children more space, or set aside for all those Christmas visitors.

“Because of its excellent location, Chapel Gate has really appealed to customers seeking a more affordable alternative to Liverpool and there are only a handful of family homes remaining. We advise anyone interested to reserve their home as soon as they can because we expect them to sell out quickly. And as an extra special Christmas present, we’ll deliver a pre-decorated tree to your new home in time for the big day, giving you even more time to settle in and relax,” Patsy adds.

The development is ideally located just minutes from Widnes town centre. Liverpool and Warrington are just 11 and eight miles away respectively, and regular bus services run to other neighbouring towns.  All motorway networks are also within close proximity with links to the M62, M56, M57 and M6.
