Join Us for Our New Homes Week Late Night Open Event

As part of this year’s national New Homes Week, we’re hosting a special late-night Open Event at our Gladstone Court development, located on Westfield Lane, on the outskirts of Scholes. Join us on Thursday, 6th February, from 5pm to 8pm, for an exclusive opportunity to explore your dream 4 bed home at a convenient time to you.

What to Expect

Come and chat with our sales manager Natalie and take a close look at our thoughtfully designed 4 bed homes at Gladstone Court. During the event, you’ll be able to:

  • Tour our stunning Nostell style show home, and beautiful Priory view home, and experience first-hand the layouts and contemporary design. 
  • Speak to our team who will be on hand to provide guidance, answer your questions, and share details about our homes and current offers.

Why Choose a New Build?

It’s New Homes Week so could it be the perfect time to explore why buying a brand-new home is such a great idea? The Home Builders Federation (HBF) has shared three key reasons why a new-build could be just what you’re looking for:

 

1. Significant Energy Savings
New homes are built with energy efficiency in mind, offering lower energy bills compared to older homes. HBF research shows that buyers of new-build properties can save an average of over £2,000 annually on energy costs, thanks to better insulation, modern heating systems, and energy-efficient appliances.

 

2. Move-In Ready

Say goodbye to renovations! New homes come with stylish kitchens, modern bathrooms, and contemporary finishes, meaning everything is ready for you from day one—saving time, stress, and unexpected costs.  And, depending on the build stage, you can often make your own choices.

 

3. Peace of Mind with a Warranty
All new-build homes come with a 10-year warranty (such as NHBC), offering added security and peace of mind.

 

Don’t Miss Out

Whether you're a first-time buyer, growing your family, or looking to downsize, this event is the perfect chance to explore the beautiful homes at Gladstone Court and take the next step toward securing your future.

Mark your calendar and join us for an inspiring evening—your dream home could be closer than you think!

Location: Gladstone Court, Westfield Lane, outskirts of Scholes, BD12 9LY

Why now might be the time

Why Now is the Best Time to Buy Your Dream Home

At Yorkshire Choice Homes, we know how much every penny matters when you're investing in a new home for your family. That’s why we’re here to tell you about some important changes to Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) and why acting now could save you thousands. Let’s dive into what this means for you and how we can help you make the most of this opportunity.

So, what is Stamp Duty Land Tax?

In simple terms, it’s a tax that buyers pay when they purchase property or land in England or Northern Ireland. It applies to all types of buyers, including first-time buyers, those moving to a new home, and people buying an additional property. How much you pay depends on the purchase price of the property and your buyer status. Sound a bit complicated? Don’t worry—we’ll break it down for you.

Right now, there are some pretty generous SDLT thresholds in place. For instance, you don’t pay any Stamp Duty on properties priced up to £250,000. If you’re a first-time buyer, you’re even luckier—you’re exempt from SDLT on homes up to £425,000. But here’s the catch: from 1st April 2025, these thresholds are set to change. The tax-free limit for everyone drops to £125,000, and for first-time buyers, the tax-free cap on properties will reduce to £300,000. That means, for many buyers, the SDLT bill will double—or worse.

How does it work?

Let’s look at a quick example. Say you’re buying a £300,000 home. Right now, you’d pay £2,500 in SDLT. Come April 2025, that same property would cost you £5,000 in Stamp Duty. This is why now is such a great time to make your move and lock in the current rates before they change.

What do to next

If you’re thinking, “This sounds urgent, but where do I start?”— we’ve got you covered. At our Gladstone Court Development on the outskirts of Scholes, Yorkshire, we have some gorgeous homes ready to move into before 31st March 2025.

Take The Nostell, priced at £449,000. This four-bedroom home combines style and practicality, with an open-plan kitchen and family room that’s perfect for entertaining, alongside a spacious separate living room. Upstairs, you’ll find a master suite complete with an en-suite bathroom, as well as three additional bedrooms and main bathroom. If you move before 31st March 2025, you could save over £2,500 in SDLT, compared to waiting until after the tax changes.

Or perhaps The Priory, with prices starting at £465,000. This impressive home is designed for family living at its best. The dual-aspect kitchen and dining area flood the space with natural light, while French doors open out to a beautiful garden. Upstairs the master bedroom boasts an en-suite with a further three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. By purchasing The Priory before April 2025, you could avoid an additional £2,500 in SDLT, making it an excellent time to invest.

So, if you’ve been dreaming of a fresh start in a new home, there’s never been a better time to make it happen. These Stamp Duty changes are coming, but you still have time to avoid the extra costs and save thousands. Book a viewing at Gladstone Court today. Your dream home is waiting—and it’s just a step away!
