Two Jones Homes developments named as finalists in North West Homebuilder Awards

Two Jones Homes developments named as finalists in North West Homebuilder Awards

Jones Homes has been shortlisted in the North West Homebuilder Awards in both the Large Development and Small Development categories.

Alderley Gardens, a heritage development in the grounds of Alderley Park, will compete for the Large Development award at the ceremony, which will take place on Thursday 18 June at Albert Hall in Manchester.

Bollin View, a development of eight homes off Stanneylands in Wilmslow, is a finalist in the Small Development category.

Carol Barlow, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes North West, said: “Being named as a finalist in two categories at these prestigious awards is recognition of the exceptionally high standards we set. This incredible achievement reflects the dedication of our teams at both developments, and the support of colleagues at our head office in Alderley Edge.

“At Alderley Gardens, the bespoke design of the homes, ecology-focused landscape and excellence in build quality have created a development which is befitting of its surroundings in the stunning setting of the 400-acre Alderley Park.

“Bollin View presented different challenges due to its location close to Grade II Listed buildings. We created bespoke home styles to address the needs of local first-time buyers, families and downsizers while respecting the historic setting.

“Both developments have their own distinctive character but share the Jones Homes hallmark of quality in design and build which they have been delivering for over 65 years.”

Alderley Gardens has been designed with two distinct character areas, the Kitchen Garden and the Walled Garden. The Kitchen Garden is a development of 33 traditional-style homes which has been completed and will feature in the awards finals. Work is still underway at the Walled Garden, a collection of 17 homes with contemporary elevations.

Original house designs were created for Alderley Gardens including architectural features to reflect the grandeur and elegance of the historic buildings within Alderley Park.

Site manager Mick Simpson has won two NHBC Pride in the Job Awards in recognition of his skill and commitment in leading the development team.

Homes at Bollin View are now all occupied. They range from bungalows to semi-detached houses and larger detached homes, creating a varied street scene surrounded by trees and green space.

Carol said: “We are grateful to all our staff, sub-contractors and customers for their contribution to making Alderley Gardens and Bollin View developments that Jones Homes is extremely proud of.”

Your First Step to the Front Door: A First-time Buyer’s FAQ

If you’re reading this, the chances are you’ve started scrolling through new homes for sale, saving your favourite floorplans, and wondering if you’re ready to make the leap from scrolling to owning. Buying your first home is a significant moment. It should feel exciting, but not overwhelming. At Jones Homes, we’ve been guiding buyers through this journey for over 65 years with straight-talking advice, a bit of patience and genuine support. To help you get your head around the process, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we hear from first-time buyers looking for their dream home. Q: How much can I actually afford? This is always the best place to start, and honestly - you don’t need to guess. We can help guide you through this from day one. Our recommended independent financial advisors will look at your earnings, outgoings, savings and any existing debt. From there, they’ll confirm how much you could borrow and provide something called a Mortgage Agreement in Principle (AIP). It’s not a full mortgage offer, but this is a really useful first step. It tells you what is realistic, and it shows estate agents and housebuilders that you’re likely able to secure finance. So before you fall in love with a particular plot, we recommend getting your AIP in place. This will save you time and help avoid unnecessary setbacks.  Q: How do I reserve a property? Once you’ve found what you think might be your dream new build home and you’ve checked if it sits comfortably within what a lender is willing to offer, it’s time to make your reservation appointment. After finding a home you love and once we’ve agreed the terms, we’ll move to complete the reservation forms. You’ll need a few bits to hand, including your contact details, full names and information about the solicitor and financial advisor you intend to use for your purchase. If you don’t have those yet, don’t worry, we can make recommendations for both. The goal here is to help you proceed with confidence, not confusion. Q: How much is the reservation deposit? The reservation deposit is dependent upon the purchase price and ranges from £250-£2000. Sales advisors can guide you on the reservation deposit required for the property of interest. This is a deposit, not an extra charge, and will be taken off the purchase price. Think of it as the first real commitment you make towards owning your first home.  Q: Can I reserve a home that’s still being built? Yes. If the plot has been released for sale, you can reserve it while it’s still under construction. You’ll get to watch your home take shape, brick by brick, and you’ll often have a say in the finishes. Think kitchen styles, worktops, tiles, flooring, paint colours. The little details that make a new house feel like yours. We also have an Earlybird scheme. If the home you’ve got your heart set on hasn’t even been released for sale yet, you can secure first refusal by paying a small, refundable deposit. It buys you time and peace of mind. Q: What happens if I change my mind/cancel my reservation? Once you’ve completed the reservation form and paid your reservation fee, you enter a 14-day cooling-off period. During that time, if you decide not to proceed, your reservation deposit is fully refundable. Q: What does “exchange of contracts” actually mean? It sounds formal, because it is, but it’s also a good thing. Exchange of contracts is the point where things become legally binding. You’re committed to buy, and we’re committed to sell. At this stage, you’ll be asked to pay a deposit, usually 10% but in some cases we may agree to reduce this depending upon your mortgage and deposit position. Once contracts are exchanged, the dream of owning a new home is one step closer.  Q: What happens at legal completion? Legal completion is the moment ownership of the home transfers from us to you. You’re no longer a buyer. You’re a homeowner. It can feel a little daunting at first, especially for first-time buyers. But here’s what you need to know: your new Jones home is covered by a 10-year warranty through the NHBC and for the first two years of that period you’ll benefit from 2-years of Jones Homes aftercare. So if something doesn’t feel right, or you just have a question three months in, you’re not on your own. Ready to take the next step?
