Portford’s pre-owned homes are good value - August 11

Yorkshire housebuilder Portford Homes isn’t just about building brand new homes. For those who prefer a second-hand home to a new build property, Portford Homes also has a range of pre-owned properties available to buy.

These pre-owned properties are priced to sell and are proving just as popular as the housebuilders choice of new build homes.

Many buyers struggle with the decision to buy a pre-owned home, or one that’s brand-new from the ground up – what’s better, what’s less expensive, what works – but most of the time, it’s simply a matter of preference. Those who prefer pre-owned, or existing homes, are usually going for a particular genre or neighborhood. These homes often have the kind of character that can be elusive in certain newer neighbourhoods.

Explains David Mackintosh, Sales and Marketing Director at Portford Homes: “Today’s homebuying market offers so many choices for prospective buyers – and that can be intimidating. But it’s also a very good thing.

"After all, more choices mean more options – and that means a golden opportunity to get exactly what you want in a home.

"We have a wide range of pre-owned properties that are proving just as popular as our newly built homes. Our pre-owned properties are accepted as part exchange and have to meet very high standards, be in good condition and in good locations.

“For buyers who prefer an older property our choice of pre-owned homes across the region are certainly worthy of consideration at the moment.”

For instance, a three-bedroom detached home on Silverstone Avenue in Cudworth in Barnsley, with an impressive kitchen extension, separate lounge and dining room, and garage is priced to sell at just £144,950. What’s more like all of Portford Homes’ pre-owned properties, there is no chain.

Concludes David Mackintosh: “Whatever your circumstances, and whatever your preference, be it new or old, come and talk to us – you never know we could have your dream home waiting for you!”
