Emma's story

Emma Moss (1)

When Emma began her search for a first home, her priorities were clear: affordability, location, and the ability to personalise. She found her ideal property with Gleeson, a 2-bedroom semi-detached home that met all her criteria.

"As a solo first-time buyer, this was the perfect size for me", she said. The property includes a spacious kitchen and lounge, as well as a south-facing garden. "After viewing, I couldn’t walk away from this fantastic home without reserving it, and I am so glad I did."

Emma was drawn to Gleeson not only for its competitive pricing but also for its compelling incentives and standout customer support. "I chose to purchase a new build home with Gleeson as other local developers were not offering such excellent incentives. Through research, I discovered that the support Gleeson offers to their customers is excellent, and that drew me to purchase with Gleeson even more."

 

As an operating department practitioner for the NHS, Emma valued the streamlined process. "My journey with Gleeson has been amazing. The Safari team supported me every step of the way, whether that was providing build updates or just checking in. I am so grateful for their help and support."

Before buying, Emma lived with her parents and briefly considered renting. "I considered renting for a couple of months, but purchasing a home outweighed the benefits of long-term renting. Renting an apartment in the city centre would have cost me just as much monthly as starting my first mortgage."

Emma describes the purchasing experience as stress-free and would recommend Gleeson to other buyers. "The team is always a phone call or visit away and will assist you with any queries or problems you may have, even after you have received your keys."

Looking ahead, she remains positive about her investment. "So far, I am pleased with my neighbourhood. My neighbours, who I have met thus far, are lovely, and I couldn't be more grateful for that."
