If you’ve ever visited St Nicolas or taken part in the numerous events that have been held in this glorious parish church, you’ll know how warm the welcome is and how much enjoyment there is to be had. See what’s in store in the coming weeks…

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to restrict so much of our daily lives, it’s reassuring to know that the property market appears to be experiencing a post-lockdown boom and that people who want to move are doing just that. At North Stoneham Park we’ve seen new home sales continue to thrive with more properties being reserved and completed on than we could ever have anticipated when the lockdown was introduced in March.

Life with a new and growing family can present all manner of challenges, not to mention the added pressure on family finances and working life. Big ticket purchases such as cars that’ll take the extra load and holidays that cater for all age groups make for careful consideration – it’s hardly surprising that buying a new family home can seem so out of reach. Not so at the Park…

Our Recommend a Friend scheme has just got a lot more exciting and means there’s more than just a love of North Stoneham Park to share. We’ve now doubled this hugely popular offer, which means if you recommend a friend or family member to the Park, we’ll pay you £1000 when those special people complete on their purchase.

The Government’s Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme will cease for all but first-time buyers in 2021 – however the Government has now announced there will be a brief extension of the existing scheme to cover building delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic. We’re urging all prospective purchasers to secure their dream home as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

On 7^th September, YMCA will open the doors to the Park’s first intake of children at its exciting new nursery. For the first few months, the eagerly anticipated nursery will be based in two of the classrooms of the Stoneham Park Academy where high quality childcare will be offered to children aged from five months to five years.

The uncertainty that arrived with the global COVID-19 pandemic has led many to re-evaluate and prioritise household finances and, for those keen to make a move to a new home, there’s never better time to look at new homes that keep their running costs down. Highwood’s sustainable, energy efficient homes rely on environmentally sensitive technologies and materials so they’re always cheaper to run.

Highwood has achieved ‘overwhelming’ support for its care village scheme at the Park. In a meeting of Test Valley Borough Council’s (TVBC) Southern area planning committee, the state-of-the-art care home and specialist accommodation for the elderly was recognised by members for providing a ‘real need’ for this type of development. Construction is expected to begin later this summer.

When we reopened our marketing suites and show homes at Avenue park and Homewood Park in May, we didn’t expect the new measures we’d implemented would have such a positive effect on our prospective purchasers. We’re overwhelmed by the positive feedback we’ve received –­ and the increasing numbers of reservations we’ve seen for new homes in recent weeks is testament to that.
