NU living is known for its new-build developments, which can be custom designed by the buyer.

The housebuilder’s latest development is Beechwood, a scheme of 251 customisable new homes in Basildon.

Spicerhaart Part Exchange & Assisted Move will be offering part-exchange deals to buyers at the Beechwood development.

The project will include two-, three-, and four-bedroom properties.

Due the size of these homes, they are more suitable for second and third steppers, therefore most buyers have a home to sell.

As each home is custom built, once a sale has been agreed it takes up to six months for the property to be ready to move into.

Mark Welberry, business development manager at Spicerhaart Part Exchange & Assisted Move, said that Beechwood was a real innovation in new-build design and there was nothing else like it in the region at the moment.

“Lots of new-build developments tend to focus on starter homes but Beechwood is building family homes, which are in much shorter supply. 

“There are currently three show homes in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs for potential buyers to see. 

“If they want to go ahead, they pick a plot and choose how they want their new home to look and feel.

“If they have a home to sell, which most do, NU living wants to be able to agree a deal without having to worry about the stress of getting a chain in line to complete the sale.”

Andrew Brader, head of sales and marketing at NU living, added: “We’re seeing a lot of interest from homeowners in the existing estate surrounding Beechwood so the part exchange or assisted move schemes provide a fuss-free way for this group to move out of their existing home and upgrade to [a] bespoke new one.”
