Let’s Watch this New Build from Demolition to Erection
Posted on Jul 27, 2016

As you may know I am a bit of a geek when it comes to property, in particular New Build Properties and Refurbishments.
I have been keeping a close eye on a property located at the bottom of my Grove which was purchased by the Investor back in July 2013. The property has remained empty for 3 years whilst going through planning applications.
Driving home last week, I noticed some activity at the property with the metal fencing now erected by the Demolition Company. As sad as this sounds, I was fairly excited by this as I really enjoy watching and monitoring houses from demolition right up until the finished product! It will also be much more appealing on the eye as I head out to work each morning, well once finished it will be!
It gave me an idea that I will add this to the blog and monitor this property along its journey from the current derelict bungalow to the proposed 5 Bedroom House including a Cinema Room and Bat Loft!!
The property located on Woodside Way in Solihull was purchased for £450,000, I would anticipate that the build cost may be in the region of £350,000, however once complete this would be on the market for £1,000,000 +….. not a bad return for a 3 year project! The house opposite sold in December 2013 for £500,000, and has now been through the demolition and build process and looks very impressive, if it were to be marketed for sale I would anticipate it achieving around £1,100,000.
I can personally see the attraction of buying a property with the plan to demolish and build a new house, a few of the main reasons behind this being the following:-
Guarantees: new-build homes come with a 10-year NHBC warranty covering structural defects. Most developers/builders also provide their own two-year warranty.
Personalisation: If you are building a property from scratch then you are able to choose your fixtures and finishes. This is great as you can put your own stamp on the property from day one!
Specification: New homes are built to the latest specifications, so major repairs should be unnecessary for the first few years. They tend to be more energy-efficient, too, so you could benefit from lower utility bills.
Re-Sale Value: Very often if the existing property is picked up at the right price and the property is done to a good standard at the right build cost, very often new build houses can also generate decent profits when the time comes to sell as per the comments above.

I was on the market with a previous Agent for 434 Days. I was recommended to contact Partridge Homes from my Solicitor. Within 6 Days of instructing Partridge's the property as Sold and the asking price of £299,950 was achieved. I would highly recommend anybody selling their property to make Partridge Homes your first point of call.

We have dealt with Partridge homes since Jan 2015 and have found them to be professional and helpful in all aspects of our enquires. Paul has been most helpful when we have needed his support and help in resolving any issues we have had. Would recommend this company and there services to anyone seeking to buy or rent a property. A very good family run business highly recommended.

I had previously placed our property for sale with another local estate agent. We had no luck with them and was then recommended to use Partridge Homes by a friend who had recently sold with them.
I have to say that matters took a turn for the better after I contacted your company. Your marketing techniques were far more proactive, and more people came to view the house over a short period of time which has resulted in a quick sale and completion. I was also impressed with the quality of viewings you sent our way- it was clear that your team focussed on good quality qualified viewings.
Selling property is complicated and I appreciated your patience in explaining all the details to me and keeping me up to date throughout the process.
Finally you saved us £1000+ compared to the first agent we had signed up with- plus we managed to get that Sale Agreed Sign outside.

Great service, great people. Everyone there really cares, and that shines through in everything they do. We sold our house in Kings Heath in 2014 with Partridge Homes and we can highly recommend them.

It's actually a pleasure to recommend Partridge Homes. I've used several Letting Agents over the last 15 years as a landlord and they are (by quite a distance ) honestly the best company I've used. It's quite rare to find an agent that will just do what's expected , Partridge Homes really went the extra mile and located an excellent tenant and are currently marketing another property and so far have had quality viewings and arranged everything. Keep up the good work
