LET 'EASYMOVE' OPEN THE DOOR TO A NEW JONES HOME IN MIDDLEWICH
Jones Homes is inviting home seekers in Middlewich to a special ‘easymove’ Open Weekend this Saturday and Sunday (4 and 5 September).
Sales negotiator Gemma Pownall will be available at The Kingfishers, off Finney’s Lane, to give a warm welcome to prospective homebuyers and explain in detail what ‘easymove’ is all about.
With this scheme Jones Homes gives a helping hand to those who may be considering a brand new Jones home, but are being held back because they still have their own house to sell. Prospective buyers may be able to reserve a Jones home even though they haven’t yet sold their existing property, and to help the transaction move forward Jones Homes is proposing a number of practical steps to give homeowners a better chance of selling their own home.
Jones Homes first appoints two local Estate Agents to provide a realistic market valuation. Following this, advice is given about the best way to market the home. This includes which Agent to use, what selling price would achieve optimum results and how best to show off the home to excite potential buyers.
When the home is on the market Jones Homes keeps in close contact with the Agent to ensure that they are doing all they can to sell the property. In addition, it is promoted in every Jones show home and sales centre to make sure as many people as possible see it. Finally Jones Homes provides the seller with regular feedback about brochure requests and viewings made by the Agent.
With the house sold and a new Jones home reserved, the buyer can also expect an extra bonus. Jones Homes will pay the Estate Agent’s fees up to a maximum of £2,000, provided it’s the one recommended by the company.
The availability of brand new family homes in mid-Cheshire is limited and currently Jones Homes is the only builder in the Middlewich area to provide a choice of 4-bedroom townhouses and detached properties for the growing family. As well as the brand new townhouse show home, those seeking a traditional detached property can view the spacious 4-bedroom Holborn show home. Only a limited number of detached homes are currently on release and The Devonshire house style at just £249,950 offers real value for money.
The Kingfishers really does offer its residents the best of both worlds – just minutes away from the amenities of a busy, historic town centre, it also provides easy access to countryside nearby and in particular over the Canal to Harbutt’s Field, once the site of an important Roman fort.

OPEN WEEKEND FOR ‘FIRST TIME BUYERS’!
Jones Homes is inviting first time buyers in the Wythenshawe area to a special first time buyer ‘Open Weekend’ at Maplewood, off Ravenscar Crescent, Woodhouse Park, this weekend (4th and 5th September).

Residents also have easy access to the shopping, leisure, entertainment and cultural attractions in Manchester, Salford Quays and Wilmslow in north east Cheshire. Nearby the picturesque Cheshire village of Styal is home to popular visitor attraction, Quarry Bank Mill, a fully restored, working Georgian cotton mill.
Jones Homes is no stranger to the Manchester area and over the years has successfully completed developments in Denton, Dukinfield, Failsworth, Moston, Sharston and Salford Quays.
Those who may have a house to sell can also find out about Jones Homes’ ‘Easymove’ scheme, which is all about giving a helping hand to those who want to reserve a new Jones home, but are being held back because they still have their own house to sell. To help the transaction move forward Jones Homes offers a number of practical steps to give homeowners a better chance of selling their own home.
As well as Maplewood, ‘Easymove’ is available at all of Jones Homes’ other developments in the North West including sites in Alderley Edge, Bolton, Cheadle Hulme, Glossop, Horwich, Macclesfield, Middlewich, Moston and Wilmslow.
Last year saw Jones Homes celebrate 50 years of building success and over this time it has consistently created desirable homes with real appeal in some of the region’s best locations. Wherever possible mature trees are retained and neighbourhoods enhanced through the creation of careful landscaping schemes. As a result the Company was voted a ‘Gold’ winner in the most recent British Housebuilder Awards and over the years has won several Green Leaf Awards for its care and consideration of the natural environment.

An extensive media campaign is well underway and the NHMB is describing the month as a nationwide celebration of all that’s great about new homes and why now is a great time to buy. Visitors to Jones Homes’ show homes can pick up lots of information including New Homes News, a 16-page colour newspaper packed with interesting articles about why brand new is best!
Jones Homes has eleven developments currently underway in the region, between them providing a range of contemporary apartments, mews-style homes ideal for first-time buyers, versatile 3-storey townhouses and spacious detached family properties.

With stable realistic prices and improving mortgage availability now could be the ideal time to buy and the award winning builder has another initiative designed to help people make that move to a brand new Jones home. With Easymove, Jones Homes is giving a helping hand to those considering a new Jones home but are held back because they still have their own house to sell.

LAST CHANCE FOR A PLACE IN HISTORY ON LANDMARK DEVELOPMENT!
Following its closure in 1989, the redundant Victorian buildings of Parkside Hospital in Macclesfield and the 9½ acres of land were bought by Jones Homes with major plans to construct several phases of re-furbished and new-build properties.
Over the intervening years one of Macclesfield’s great Grade II Listed Victorian landmarks has been carefully and tastefully transformed into The Pavilions, now regarded as one of Cheshire’s most desirable places to live.
Work is now underway on the final two phases. One of them, Hampton Mews, is the latest to undergo extensive renovation and refurbishment work. What’s more, all the signs point to it being one of the most successful with over 50% of the units already sold off-plan. Work on the final apartments phase, known as Clarence House, is also underway with the first releases due later this year.
Parkside Hospital has a long and fascinating history. It opened in May 1871, to accommodate 700 patients. At the time, it was described by Building News as ‘being in a part of the suburbs notable for its salubrity and the beauty of its scenery.’ The cost of the buildings and land then reached the princely sum of £131,000!
When Jones Homes began work on Parkside the condition of the buildings had severely deteriorated. With broken windows and the loss of roof coverings, rain and damp had penetrated many of the structures. While certain buildings were listed and therefore retained, others with no amenity value were demolished. Many materials derived from demolition were re-used, such as roofing slates, decorative brickwork, ironwork, stone sills and lintels.
Complex construction and surveying techniques were used to ensure strict control of demolition on the site and to create new-build properties alongside some extensive renovation and restoration. Much emphasis was placed on re-cycling and maintaining the Victorian design principles. The renovation and conversion of these existing buildings was designed to ensure minimum alteration to the fabric of the buildings, but where any alteration was necessary, demolition materials were re-cycled where possible.
As a result the buildings display many notable features to support the idea of contemporary living in a period environment. Externally these features include the restoration of original roofing and stonework, and the sympathetic use of landscaping, enhanced by ironwork railings and street lighting.
Throughout Parkside’s re-development, a careful mixture of design and planning has been adopted by Jones Homes to create a mix of both contemporary and traditional homes in a mature parkland setting. Previous phases include The Villas, Marlborough House, The Towers, Kensington Square, Sandringham House, Richmond House, Balmoral House and Windsor House.
Over the years these have provided a diversity of homes to suit all tastes and pockets including apartments, townhouses, mews and detached houses, and the work continues to this day with the final two phases, Hampton Mews and Clarence House. Across The Pavilions development mature parkland and existing roads have been retained, trees preserved and additional landscaping provided.
Currently on release Hampton Mews’ properties are priced from just £160,000. More information on these 2-bedroom mews homes is available from The Pavilions show home, which is open between 10.00am and 5.00pm. Alternatively visit www.jones-homes.co.uk or ring 01625-502800.
