<p>From a build quality standpoint, everything appears to be coming together with the usual high standards we uphold. The structure is solid, and the finishing touches are being executed with great attention to detail. The site team has worked efficiently to ensure that the build remains on schedule, despite any challenges that have come our way. The care taken during the construction process is evident in the quality of the final product, which I’m confident will exceed the future homeowners&#8217; expectations.</p>

Introducing The Chadwick and The Woodrow: Canalside Living Redefined


<p>For first-time buyers, purchasing a home is one of the most exciting milestones in life. It’s a moment full of hope, excitement, and a sense of new beginnings. But with the housing market constantly evolving, timing is everything. If you’re considering buying your first home, now might be the perfect opportunity to take the leap, especially given some upcoming changes to the stamp duty rates.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s Changing?</h2>



<p>Currently, first-time buyers benefit from a special nil-rate stamp duty threshold of £425,000, meaning that if you’re buying a property up to this amount, you won’t pay stamp duty on the first £425,000 of the purchase price. This favourable rate applies to properties with a purchase price of up to £625,000. <strong>However, from 31 March 2025, this threshold will reduce. The nil-rate band will drop to £300,000, and the maximum purchase price to qualify will be £500,000.</strong></p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What does this mean for you? If you’re a first-time buyer and purchase a property worth £425,000 today, you’ll pay no stamp duty on it. But if you wait until after March 2025, you’ll face an additional £6,250 in stamp duty fees on the same property—making now a far more attractive time to buy.</h2>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4b01590fa93a444e4da7b1e3e325cda9"><strong>Why Wait? Let Us Help You Secure Your Dream Home</strong></h2>





<p>At Skipton Properties, we understand the importance of getting the timing right when purchasing your first home. That’s why we want to make this process as seamless as possible for you. We currently have a range of beautiful first-time buyer homes available that not only fall within the current nil-rate stamp duty threshold but are also crafted with the exceptional quality and care we are known for.</p>



<p>Our homes aren’t just bricks and mortar; they’re the foundations for a happy, fulfilling life. We have carefully designed each property to be more than just a space to live—it’s a place where you can build your future, whether you&#8217;re starting a family, establishing your independence, or investing in your future.</p>

Why Now is the Perfect Time for First-Time Buyers to Purchase Their New Home


<p>As we prepare for 2025, the property market outlook shows positive momentum despite recent dips in asking prices. November saw an average price of £366,592, a 1.4% decrease from October, as sellers adjusted to attract buyers before Christmas. However, buyer demand rose by 23% following the latest Base Rate cut to 4.75%, and sales agreements increased by 26%, signalling renewed confidence.</p>





<p>Rightmove predicts a 4% rise in house prices over the next year, bolstered by improved affordability as mortgage rates gradually decline. This is encouraging news for buyers who delayed their plans in 2024.</p>



<p>Tim Bannister, a market expert, highlights that continued reductions in mortgage rates could drive a robust property market in 2025, particularly in traditionally active periods. For buyers, the combination of more affordable borrowing options and increased housing market activity presents a promising opportunity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Key Points</strong> for Buyers</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Current Trends</strong>: November&#8217;s average house price is £366,592, with sellers adjusting prices to meet demand.</li>



<li><strong>Increased Activity</strong>: Buyer demand is up 23%, and sales agreements have risen 26% compared to last year.</li>



<li><strong>Predictions for 2025</strong>: House prices are forecast to rise by 4%, driven by lower mortgage rates and strong market activity.</li>



<li><strong>Opportunities for Buyers</strong>: Gradual reductions in mortgage rates enhance affordability, offering a favourable time to move.</li>
</ul>

Welcoming Our New Team Members: Ashley & Matthew


<p>At Skipton Properties, we believe a truly exceptional home isn’t just about today—it’s about the years ahead. That’s why we’re proud to introduce &#8216;<strong>Lifetime Homes</strong>&#8216;, a new concept for us debuting exclusively at <strong><a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/pendle-farm-worsthorne/">Pendle Farm in Worsthorne.</a></strong></p>





<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is a lifetime Home?</h2>



<p>A <strong>Lifetime Home</strong> is thoughtfully designed to evolve with you, offering comfort, accessibility, and long-term practicality without compromise. These homes incorporate intelligent features that ensure ease of living at every stage of life.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Designed for the future:</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Step-Free Access &#8211; A seamless, safe welcome into your home.</li>



<li>Wider Doorways and Hallways &#8211; Enhancing mobility and movement.</li>



<li>Future-Ready Bathrooms and Staircases &#8211; Easily adaptable for additional aids if needed.</li>



<li>Accessible Switches &amp; Sockets &#8211; Positioned at user-friendly heights for effortless use.</li>
</ul>



<p>&nbsp;</p>



<p>While all our homes meet the latest energy efficiency standards set by <strong>Part L</strong> of the UK Building Regulations, <strong>Lifetime Homes go further</strong>—combining sustainability with intelligent, future-ready design.

Lifetime Homes at Pendle Farm offer long-term practicality without sacrificing style or comfort, ensuring that your home remains the perfect fit for years to come.</p>

<p>Yesterday, a team from Skipton Properties, alongside representatives from other local businesses, took part in the <em>BIG CLEAN</em> event. Our mission was to help prepare four of<a href="https://www.theprincipletrust.co.uk/"> <strong>The Principle Trust&#8217;s</strong></a> holiday homes located in Blackpool&#8217;s Marton Mere Haven Holiday Village, for the families who will benefit from them. These homes offer a much-needed respite for families facing difficult circumstances, allowing them to spend quality time together in peaceful and calm surroundings, away from the stresses of hospital visits or everyday life.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6105aacdd2b484a8de478d55fa0d375c">Generosity and Teamwork in Action</h2>



<p>The clean-up day was filled with hard work, teamwork, and a shared sense of purpose. We were also fortunate to have Zoflora donate cleaning products, which made the task even easier, leaving the homes sparkling clean and ready for their new guests. To keep us going throughout the day, <strong><a href="https://www.theprincipletrust.co.uk/">The Principle Trust</a> </strong>kindly provided us with a lunch and doughnuts – a perfect treat after a hard day&#8217;s work.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a9ca103a307c0c9bead38fa1a2bb0301">Proud to Make a Difference</h2>



<p class="has-text-align-left">It was an honor to contribute to this worthy cause, knowing that our efforts will help create a warm, welcoming space for families to relax and make lasting memories together. We’re proud to support <strong><a href="https://www.theprincipletrust.co.uk/">The Principle Trust</a></strong> and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in our community.</p>

Rolling Up Our Sleeves: Supporting The Principle Trust’s BIG Clean!


<p>The mortgage market is seeing a shift, with major lenders reducing rates to stay competitive. Banks such as Santander and Barclays have introduced fixed-rate mortgage deals below 4% for the first time since November 2024. This follows the Bank of England’s base rate reduction from 4.75% to 4.5%, creating a more favourable environment for homebuyers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Are Mortgage Rates Falling?</h2>



<p>Lenders are actively lowering rates to attract borrowers in an increasingly competitive market. As a result, buyers now have access to more affordable financing options, making homeownership more achievable. This is great news for those looking to buy, particularly with upcoming changes to stamp duty thresholds in April. Acting now could mean locking in a lower mortgage rate and benefiting from current tax savings.</p>





<div style="height:34px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading has-large-font-size"><strong>Why Now is the Perfect Time to Buy a Skipton Properties Home:</strong></h1>



<p>  <strong>Lower mortgage rates</strong> – Lenders are offering fixed rates below 4%, creating more affordable opportunities.<br>  <strong>Beat the stamp duty deadline</strong> – Complete on your home on or before March 31st to maximise savings.<br>  <strong>Limited availability</strong> – Our homes are selling quickly, so don’t miss out!<br>  <strong>Move-in ready luxury</strong> – High-specification homes designed for modern living.<br>  <strong>A trusted, family-run developer</strong> – Built with care, quality, and community at heart.</p>

The Willows BRAND NEW Luxury Showhome Launch, 1st March


<p>In today’s mortgage climate, where rates are returning to more typical levels after the historic lows of recent years, Skipton Properties is making homeownership more accessible than ever by pricing our homes with the current mortgage environment in mind.</p>



<p>We understand that affordability is key, which is why we’ve <strong>priced our homes lower than ever</strong> to help buyers get on or move up the property ladder despite higher borrowing costs. But this window of opportunity <strong>won’t last forever</strong>.</p>





<div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is now therefore the right time to buy?</h1>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Our homes are currently priced to reflect the market.</strong> As mortgage rates drop in the future – as many financial experts predict – property values are expected to <strong>rise again</strong> in response to improving economic conditions.</li>



<li><strong>Waiting could cost you more.</strong> If you delay buying now in the hope of lower rates, you could end up paying <strong>a higher price</strong> for the same home.</li>



<li><strong>Your home is more than an investment; it’s your sanctuary.</strong> Moving into the right home today means creating a space that enhances your lifestyle, well-being, and future security.<br></li>
</ul>
