Homebuyers searching for modern, high-quality homes are increasingly looking beyond London to find better value for their investment. With its excellent transport links, vibrant community, green open space, leisure facilities that promote healthy lifestyles and more affordable housing options, Basildon is emerging as a top choice. Sempra Homes’ new Ghyllgrove Place development exemplifies why moving to Basildon is a decision worth making.
The average cost of a home in London remains significantly higher than in Basildon, often putting home ownership out of reach for many buyers. In contrast, Basildon offers spacious, modern homes at a fraction of the cost. Ghyllgrove Place features three- and four-bedroom private sale homes, providing an affordable opportunity for young professionals, first-time buyers and families alike.
Not only does Ghyllgrove Place exceed national space standards, but it also boasts features that are hard to find in London properties at a similar price point. These include private gardens, allocated parking spaces equipped with electric vehicle charging points, and contemporary finishes with energy efficient appliances designed to create a high standard of living.
Melanie Keys, Service Manager for Sempra Homes, comments: "At Sempra Homes, we’re committed to creating homes that combine quality, affordability, and sustainability. Ghyllgrove Place is a perfect example of how Basildon offers an attractive alternative to London – with high specification, modern homes, and excellent transport connections, all at a fraction of the price. We’re excited to welcome new homeowners to this thriving community."
Basildon’s direct train links to London make it an ideal commuter town, with journeys into the city taking just over 30 minutes at peak times. Buyers can enjoy the best of both worlds – affordable living in a well-connected town with thriving amenities, excellent schools, and access to green spaces.
For anyone reserving one of the remaining three or four-bedroom private sale homes during January, Sempra Homes will cover the legal fees (subject to terms and conditions), making it easier than ever to purchase a dream home.
First-time buyers can also take advantage of stamp duty relief, which applies to homes priced up to £425,000 until 1st April 2025. After this date, the threshold will reduce to £300,000, meaning buyers who move in before April can enjoy greater savings.
Prices start from £450,000 for a three-bedroom home. Interested buyers are encouraged to act quickly as availability is limited. To arrange a viewing or learn more about this exclusive offer, please visit www.semprahomes.co.uk.
