Ronit and Pooja took their first step onto the property ladder, moving from a rental property into a new-build home at Gleeson’s Northbeck Grange development in Bradford. After years of renting, the couple now enjoy the long-term financial and lifestyle benefits of homeownership.
“Before moving into our new home, we were renting a 2 bedroom home for £800, which is equal to what we are now paying for our mortgage,” said Ronit. “It's amazing to think that we are now investing in our own property instead of paying rent towards someone else’s mortgage!”
Their decision to purchase with Gleeson was driven by the combination of affordability, design, and efficiency. “We fell in love with the design of the Kerry house style. The cherry on top was the two bedrooms, which are almost equal in size. We think this home is perfect for a couple or even a small family.”
The couple noted the high cost of renting and utilities in their previous property as a key motivator for the switch. “Paying rental costs and expensive bills in our previous home made us realise that buying a property with Gleeson was a better option. We researched and met with the sales team, who made the process easy to understand, along with their support and guidance – all this combined made our experience even more exciting!”
Efficiency and speed of delivery were additional decision factors. “One of the main selling points for us was the timeline involved from reservation through to completion. You can have your own house in just a few months, which is a significant advantage. We decided to go with Gleeson because we wanted a new build home that was energy efficient.”
Gleeson’s customer experience also left a strong impression. “Our journey with Gleeson has been incredible, from the first enquiry we made, through to reservation and receiving the email saying, 'Congratulations!' Our religious housewarming ritual was welcomed and accommodated, with the sales and build team embracing it and joining in too.”
Now settled into their home, the couple is embracing both the space and the community. “The community has been wonderful, there are a number of different cultures here, which is amazing. Our neighbours are fantastic, and everyone is new and settling in, making new friends together.”
Their message to future buyers: “Visit the site, see the show homes, check your budget, and speak with the Sales Executive. We are sure you will find your dream home just like we did.”
