Last chance to buy for move-in by Christmas, warns South Wales developer

Five-star housebuilder, David Wilson Homes, has announced its cut-off date for securing a brand-new home ready for move-in by Christmas, before mortgage lenders close their books until January.

With many lenders acting with extra caution this year amid the coronavirus pandemic, Thursday 19 November may be homebuyers’ final opportunity to secure a move-in date before the big day.

David Wilson Homes has been informed by estate agents and mortgage lenders that a quick turnaround may not be possible before Christmas unless buyers move fast.

One development with homes still available for move-in before Christmas is Goitre Fach, Cardiff. Sitting on the border of St Fagans and Radyr, the site has excellent commuter links and is popular with families and young professionals alike.

Richard Lawson, Sales Director at David Wilson Homes, said: “Most of our South Wales developments are completely sold out at present, but we do still have two remaining four-bedroom detached homes available at Goitre Fach with pre-Christmas move-in dates possible.

“The past few months have been extremely challenging and uncertain, so this could be the perfect opportunity to end the year on a high and make it a Christmas to remember for the right reasons.

“Goitre Fach strikes a perfect balance between city life and countryside beauty, with central Cardiff and convenient M4 links just a short drive away.

“I’m also proud to announce that Paul, our Site Manager at Goitre Fach, is the regional winner for South Wales in the Large Builder category at the housebuilding industry’s coveted NHBC Pride in the Job Awards. One of only three regional winners across Wales, Paul’s award is testament to the high-quality build of Goitre Fach and our other award-winning sites.”

At a time when many industries have experienced a slump in sales, this summer, demand for new build homes was up by 66% in the UK — continuing the strongest year for the new build market since 2016.

New build houses are still in high demand and with developments often sold in advance, it is rare to find plots available for an immediate move-in.
