Developer is looking for land to purchase

THE LAND WOULD BE USED FOR MORE HOUSING ESTATES

- By RICHARD CASTLE richard.castle@reachplc.com

A DEVELOPER plans to build hundreds of homes across Staffordsh­ire.

Walton Homes is actively seeking land owners to sell it land to build new estates on.

The firm - which recently completed developmen­ts in Tatenhill and Stapenhill - is seeing its new homes sell out in record time and wants to capitalise on a vibrant market.

It promises to build more “highspec” homes if it can secure the land it needs.

Walton Homes director Amy Summerton said buyers’ appetites for homes throughout Staffordsh­ire and Derbyshire had soared during the

UK’S three national lockdowns.

She said: “We have a long history of siting exclusive developmen­ts throughout Staffordsh­ire and those we have located on the Staffordsh­ire/derbyshire border have proved extremely popular in recent years.

“If there’s one thing we have learned from the coronaviru­s pandemic, it is that spending so much time confined to their homes has given people the chance to think about what they want from their property, be it to downsize to a smaller home with access to open countrysid­e, or to look for a larger house with a bigger garden to enjoy.

“We have carried out extensive market research to assess the appetite for homes across the region, and there is no question that people are keen to combine the best of both worlds with an idyllic setting and convenient access links to amenities and busier towns and cities.

“While we have most recently announced developmen­ts further north in the Staffordsh­ire Moorlands to fulfil those requiremen­ts, we are keen to meet the demand for quality homes throughout the county as a whole and we are looking for land parcels located close to popular towns or within semi-rural settings to help us do so. “We have enjoyed great success with both our Copperfiel­ds developmen­t in Tatenhill and The Meadows at Stapenhill, and we’re looking for similar sites within the area with a view to creating another exclusive developmen­t in due course.” Land owners with sites that may be suitable for residentia­l developmen­t - with or without planning permission - are now being urged to contact Walton Homes.

We’re looking for similar sites within the area with a view to creating another exclusive developmen­t in due course. Walton Homes
