Practical Information

Gleeson Homes specialises in low-cost, affordable homes across the North of England and the Midlands. While their model provides a lower barrier to entry for homeownership, potential buyers should be aware that customer feedback on finish quality and post-sale snagging services across the developer's portfolio has been mixed. The development is currently selling by appointment only. Prospective first-time buyers are advised that the government-backed First Homes scheme, which offers a 30% discount to eligible local buyers, is slated to be available at Saddler Fields. Other purchasing options, such as the Own New Rate Reducer scheme, may also be available. Viewings and specific plot availability, including individual property types like the 2-bed Moy bungalow or the 3-bed Glin house, should be confirmed by contacting the developer’s sales team directly.
