PART-EXCHANGE UNLOCKS NEW HOME FOR FAMILY Kasia Szawlis with her husband Welly and their two young children, were keen to be settled into a new home which was larger than their two bedroom flat The couple were keen to stay within Chelmsford, so started to look at properties that could offer them at least three bedrooms with a garden. “Although I currently work in Chelmsford, I do go to my firm’s other offices in London and Norwich, so it was important to me to have good travel connections close by,” adds Kasia. “Our flat was a new build and I particularly wanted a house that was energy efficient, easy to keep clean and be low maintenance. With older properties you can also get nasty surprises when you move in such as mould in the bathroom, so we were keen to avoid any expensive problems.” The family looked at a couple of places, but when they saw Parva Green in Chelmsford by local developer Higgins Homes, they felt immediately that it had all the elements they were looking for. “The quality of the internal specification and external design of the homes was very evident,” explains Kasia. “The attention to detail throughout really makes all the “The quality difference and the finish within each room is excellent. Two of the bedrooms come with huge built-in wardrobes, so half your furniture is there for you already and I particularly love the kitchen with its stone worktops, which are so easy to keep clean.” “We had the flat to sell but when we were told that we would be eligible for part exchange of the internal we jumped at the offer and really felt that it took a lot of stress out of the whole moving process. Throughout, Higgins Homes were very easy to deal with. They were patient, helpful and guided us through the process by sending us gentle reminders when something needed doing. They kept the communication going between ourselves and our solicitors the whole specification time and were really on the ball which made for a much smoother transaction.” “Living here will change our lives in many ways,” adds Welly. “The house is on the corner and has an unusual shape giving it a unique character. There are almost two wings to it and you and external can access the garden from the living room and the kitchen/diner giving the home a light and airy feel. In the summer we will throw the doors open so the garden will feel like an extra room and become a real extension of the house.” Kasia adds: “My son loves being in the garden and I can just imagine in the summer we design of the won’t need to go anywhere because we have everything we need at home.

GROWING FAMILY SOLUTION: Kate and James Harrison were keen to find a new home where they could put down roots and have the space needed to accommodate their growing family. With their two-and-a-half-year-old son, and another baby on the way the family were looking for a home to work for them on a number of levels. The family needed a home that was within a good commute of the capital, be within catchment of good schools and have a community environment for their children to grow up in. “Our current property is a three-bedroom traditional terrace but with a new baby on the way and a new job for my husband, we felt that the time was right to move,” says Kate. “I really like period properties so a new build wasn’t really something I would look for but the estate agent mentioned that it might work for us. James wasn’t keen at first, but as soon as I downloaded the brochure and we started to look at it properly, we were both very eager to find out more.” Although the couple were not originally intending to buy a new build, the fact that the home will be totally ready to move in to has been a huge advantage, especially with a toddler and a baby on the way. “Some of the properties we viewed really did need quite a lot of work and that would have been difficult in our situation,” adds Kate. “The no-hassle factor was huge but so was the fact that the home really has everything on our wish list. “There are some lovely wow factors that we didn’t have in our previous property. The kitchen/ diner is going to be the real hub of the home and perfect for socialising. Our old kitchen was a galley design so I’m really looking forward to having this additional space. There’s a nod to the traditional design that we really like too with its double frontage and fireplace in the lounge and there are also practical factors too. Having a downstairs toilet is ideal with children and because James’ family is from Scotland, now when they visit, they can have their own bedroom and bathroom, which will make their stay more comfortable.” With the property being over three floors, it also gives the family flexibility to use the space in many different ways and can adapt over time as the children grow and their needs change. “We are not looking to make any changes at the moment because everything is so beautifully put together,” concludes Kate. “Perhaps in the future we will convert the garage to give the children an additional den/living area where they can relax with their friends but for now we are just looking forward to enjoying the home and garden and welcoming our new baby.”
