A first-time buyer has shared how finding her dream home was made easy thanks to a Cora site preview event.

Young mum Sophie Partridge had been saving for a deposit for more than three years before coming across our Lancaster Gate development in her home village of Sutton.

She was invited to a site preview event at the nearby John O’Gaunt Golf Club after registering her interest online.

The event allowed prospective buyers to learn more about the upcoming development, speak to Cora staff and view more in-depth plans for each home.

Sophie said the event was a “great” way to help househunters feel more at ease about reserving off-plan.

She said: “I’m born and raised in the village and have been looking for my first home in the area for a while now.

“I’d seen some other developments in the local area but nothing had really stood out until I heard about Lancaster Gate.

“I was invited to the event by Aletta in the sales team and loved it. The event was great as it gave you a chance to see the plans and speak to people about what the development will look like and ask any questions about the sales process.”

Sophie was quick to praise Aletta Fendick, our Head of Sales, and Sales Advisor Debbie Brown for their support throughout her journey so far.

She said: “Debbie and Aletta have been brilliant. There was no high-pressure sales environment and they were more than happy to answer any questions I had.

“It makes you feel so comfortable and at ease, especially as a first-time buyer. You know they are there to help every step of the way.”

Sophie said the level of support Cora provides is what inspired her to reserve the Glenmore home at Lancaster Gate.

She added: “I loved the property when I saw it. I wanted a detached property with space for my son to play and a home office. It all looks amazing.

“The guarantees Cora offer on their homes give you so much peace of mind. I don’t have to worry about any problems down the line and also have the opportunity to personalise and put my own touches on my home.

“I’m really excited now. I can’t wait to get the keys!”
