Practical Information

The development is part of a wider community expansion on Welford Road. Taylor Wimpey, the developer, holds a current 5-star builder rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), based on independent customer surveys for recommending the builder to a friend. Buyers should note that while initial satisfaction scores are high, external customer feedback on aftercare and snagging can be mixed. Prospective purchasers are advised to contact Taylor Wimpey for the current sales status, plot-specific pricing, and viewing arrangements for the show homes. Completion dates and reservation status for individual plots are subject to change. The developer operates an on-site sales office; viewing by appointment is recommended.
