Work on new homes in Tamworth is progressing well with more than a third of properties at Dosthill Gate now sold.

Elan Homes was granted detailed planning consent to build 37 homes on a 2.5 acre site on Dosthill Road in August 2022.

By the time the first homes were released for sale “off plan” last March, more than 400 people had registered their interest in the properties.

Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball said: “The site of our new homes in Tamworth had been vacant for decades and people had long wanted to see it brought back into good use. Work on site is progressing well and we’ve now sold more than a third of the private sale properties. We have a few homes that are currently for sale that will soon be build complete and ready to move into. The good news for those with a house to sell is that they don’t have to worry about missing out as we can help them sell their current property with either part exchange or EasyMove.”

Across Dosthill Gate, Elan is building two, three and four-bedroom homes, with current prices ranging from £310,000 to £415,000.

The homes almost ready to move into include examples of the three-storey, three-bedroom semi-detached Thurston Max (plots 8 and 9), priced from £340,000, and the three-bedroom detached Finham Special (plot 1), priced from £355,000.

The ground floor of the Thurston Max is almost entirely open plan with a combined kitchen, dining room and lounge providing an inviting, sociable multifunctional space. French doors open out from the lounge to the rear garden, helping make the most of the outside space. A cloakroom completes this level.

On the first floor, there are two bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The main bedroom, with en-suite and dressing area, encompass the entire top floor.

In the Finham Special, the lounge spans from the front to the rear of the property, while the combined kitchen and dining room is on the opposite side of the hallway, with French doors opening out onto the garden. There’s also handy cloakroom.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has an en-suite, leaving the family bathroom to serve the other two bedrooms.

“Part exchange offers a speedy solution for those who want to climb the housing ladder as we effectively act as a guaranteed cash buyer for their current property. There’ll be no last-minute haggles over the price or complications of a slow-moving chain.  Instead, you could exchange contracts in a matter of weeks and enjoy a quick and simple move,” Tracey explained.

“Alternatively, we’ll work with a trusted agent to market the customer’s home on the open market via our EasyMove scheme. With EasyMove it doesn’t matter if they’re moving up the property ladder or downsizing.  When they receive an acceptable offer, they’ll be able to reserve their new home from us. Contracts on the two properties will be exchanged simultaneously and we’ll even pay the agent’s fees.”

Elan’s new homes in Tamworth are being built in an area with plenty to offer buyers. There are primary and secondary schools around a mile away. Dosthill Park Local Nature Reserve offers somewhere close to home to enjoy the outdoors and includes a children’s play area. Shops and restaurants are around two miles away at Ventura Retail Park. Nearby Wilnecote train station offers links to Birmingham New Street and Nottingham.

Offering a rare opportunity to own a detached new build home in a great part of Somerset, the final countdown is on for Elan Homes in Glastonbury.

The homebuilder has enlisted the support of property agents Killens to market the last few homes at its Avalon development.

Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball said: “We’ve worked closely with Killens since we released the first homes at Avalon for sale off plan from their offices in 2021. Their knowledge of the local market has been a real asset and they’ve helped several of our homeowners sell their previous properties to enable a move here. We’re confident that with their support, we’ll soon be celebrating a sell-out success at Avalon.”

The majority of the 42 private sale homes at Avalon are now build complete and occupied, with the final few homes under construction.

Bradley Parry, branch manager at Killens, said: “We’ve been fortunate to see the site from start to finish. New Build properties have a high demand in our area as the South West property market is proving to be very strong. New build properties, like the ones Elan is building, give buyers the perfect opportunity to move into a property that requires no work to fully enjoy their time in the area.”

The final homes available at Avalon include a three-bedroom detached Russett Special, priced from £380,000 and a pair of four-bedroom detached Broughton style properties, priced from £465,000.

The Russett Special will soon be able to view by appointment only.

“Currently there’s not a huge amount of detached, new build properties on the market in the local area. Elan’s new homes at Avalon provide a rare opportunity to buy a detached new build home, in a great location, perfectly located on The Old Wells Road. This means it is only a short drive into Glastonbury or Wells, close to many good schools, shops and busy high streets, while still enjoying the benefits the peace and quiet the South West offers,” Bradley added.

“We’re quite fortunate in the area to get a mixture of buyers, both locally and from out of area. The area is very desirable so people who have lived here all their lives, typically wish to stay here. We also get an influx of people wanting to move to the area to enjoy towns like Glastonbury or the city of Wells and the busy high street life, mixed with the semi-rural family life.”
