Offers & Incentives on all Our Developments & Homes!


<p>Buying a new home is always a significant decision, and with mortgage rates currently held at 5.25%, many potential homeowners might feel hesitant about jumping into the market. However, we believe that now is a great time to make your dream of owning a home a reality. Here&#8217;s why:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>An Opportunity with Own New</strong> Rate Reducer</h2>



<p>At Skipton Properties, we understand the challenges that the current higher interest rates can pose. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re offering an exclusive opportunity for our buyers to access mortgage rates as low as 2.71% on a fixed term for two years. <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/the-process/own-new/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/the-process/own-new/">Own New</a> can give buyers access to much lower rates because we contribute 3% of the purchase price.  To find out more about Own New, click <a href="https://ownnew.co.uk/">here.</a> </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What&#8217;s happening with mortgage rates?</strong></h2>



<p>They are currently higher than they have been in 16 years&#8230;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>The average mortgage rate is held at 5.25%</strong></li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>We seem to have reached the Peak Base Rate:</strong> Many experts believe that the base rate has reached its peak and could start to decline in the second half of this year. This potential decrease could lead to lower mortgage rates in the future.</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>We may not see interest rates coming down significantly for a while:</strong> According to Rightmove, historical data shows that after periods of interest rate increases, rates tend to remain flat for a while before they eventually decline. <br></li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Advantage of Acting Now</strong></h3>



<p>There are several reasons why buying a home now might be the best decision:</p>



<p>1. Lower Initial Rates: With Own New, you can lock in a rate as low as 2.71%* for the first two years. This provides a financial cushion while you wait for overall market rates to decrease.</p>



<p>2. Building Equity: By purchasing a home now, you start building equity immediately. Waiting for rates to drop might seem wise, but it also means missing out on potential appreciation in home values.</p>



<p>3. House prices could rise sooner than you think: Recent analysis showed a decline in house prices, however some have recently revised those figures due to improving market conditions. For those of you who&#8217;d like to do a deep dive into Savill&#8217;s latest analysis you can <a href="https://www.savills.co.uk/research_articles/229130/359399-0">click here</a>.</p>

Is Now the Right Time to Buy a New Home? Here’s Why We Think So!


<p>As we approach the Bank of England&#8217;s next meeting on June 20th, there&#8217;s growing speculation about potential changes in interest rates. However, given that inflation has not yet met the target—currently at 2.3%, just above the desired 2.1%—there&#8217;s uncertainty about whether a rate drop is imminent.</p>



<p>Currently, the average two-year fixed mortgage rate stands at 5.93%, while the average five-year fixed rate is 5.5%, according to Moneyfacts. Even the most competitive five-year fixed rates are over 4.3%, and the lowest two-year fixed rates are above 4.65%. Although we&#8217;ve seen a slight easing in mortgage rates recently, the latest figures suggest that any significant downward trend might be delayed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Market and Political Uncertainty</strong></h2>



<p>Adding to the financial uncertainty is the recent announcement of a general election, which introduces another layer of unpredictability. With a full rate cut now not expected until November, this political development could further impact economic conditions and mortgage rates. </p>



<p>However, while the upcoming six weeks may pose some challenges for new sellers entering the market, buyers have a unique opportunity to benefit from a quieter market and potentially strengthen their purchasing power during this brief period.</p>

New Development ‘Pendle Farm’ Coming Soon


<p>Hello everyone</p>



<p>I&#8217;m thrilled to share with you an exciting initiative that I&#8217;ve been involved in &#8211; the &#8216;I am a Housebuilder&#8217; campaign. As the Managing Director of Skipton Properties, a family-owned business known for its commitment to excellence, I&#8217;ve joined forces with other industry leaders as part of the esteemed &#8216;Magnificent Seven Housebuilders&#8217; to drive positive change in the housebuilding sector.</p>



<p>The &#8216;I am a Housebuilder&#8217; campaign, initiated by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for SME Housebuilders, aims to address the longstanding gender disparities and image challenges prevalent in our industry. It&#8217;s no secret that women are significantly underrepresented in housebuilding, with less than 2% of SME housebuilding companies being owned and led by women. Additionally, the workforce gender gap is stark, with only 297,000 women compared to 1.8 million men in construction roles across the UK. These statistics highlight the urgent need for change.</p>



<p>I firmly believe that the housebuilding industry has immense potential for growth and innovation, but it&#8217;s hampered by outdated perceptions and a significant gender imbalance. Through the &#8216;I am a Housebuilder&#8217; campaign, we&#8217;re committed to breaking down these barriers and inspiring more women to enter and lead in this field.</p>



<p>The initiative is being driven by the APPG’s new secretariat, Edwin de Silva, an industry veteran and Co-Chair for the Regional Builders Hub Steering Group in support of The King&#8217;s Foundation and Chair of the APPG, Andrew Lewer MBE, Member of Parliament Northampton South. The campaign&#8217;s pledges include increasing the visibility of successful women within the sector, establishing a senior mentoring network, and collaborating with trade bodies to promote the industry to women of all ages.</p>



<p>As part of the &#8216;Magnificent Seven Housebuilders,&#8217; my peers and I are dedicated to mentoring and supporting more women to become SME housebuilders. This mentorship aspect is crucial, as it aims to guide aspiring female leaders through the intricacies of the industry and provide them with the tools and confidence needed to succeed.</p>



<p><strong>What are we doing at Skipton Properties to support the campaign and bring more women into roles in construction?</strong></p>



<p>Well, we&#8217;re currently developing a more robust apprenticeship programme to ensure our apprentices thrive; considering the shortage of women in our industry apprenticeships will be key in reshaping it. Additionally, we&#8217;re elevating several of our female managers and other personnel into key roles in the business to develop their potential to lead. I&#8217;ll be taking a key role in this, alongside <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/meet-the-family/">my sister, Caroline and our Financial Director, Luke</a>.</p>



<p>Finally, over the next few months, we&#8217;ll be shining a light on the diverse range of women in our business in the hope you may find out a little bit more about what they do each day, how that shapes our business, hopefully raising awareness and interest in these roles.</p>



<p>Warm regards,</p>



<p>Sarah</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-56186" src="https://cms.verityandcohomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Sarah-Barraclough-I-am-housebuilder-1024x1024.png" alt="" /></figure>


Empowering Women in Housebuilding: Sarah’s Evolving Journey with the ‘I am a Housebuilder’ Campaign


<p>Our homes blend timeless natural stone exteriors with modern interiors designed for family living, entertaining, and remote work. The barns embody that perfectly.</p>



<p>Only two, beautiful three-bedroom homes remain, our re-imagined barns. </p>



<p>We hope our attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the intricate tiling to the stone detailing that has been painstakingly rebuilt, Our team put so much love into restoring these two homes, straight from our family to yours.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://cms.verityandcohomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Untitled-design-2-1-1024x341.png" alt="" class="wp-image-56233"/></figure>



<p>Both properties have been styled with beautiful kitchens, quartz worktops, luxury flooring and original real oak beams. The specification also includes energy-efficient technology, premium fixtures, and contemporary interior design.</p>



<p>These original buildings have been re-imagined into two beautiful and unique three bedroom homes, creating a flexible living space that can adapt to the needs and demands of modern family life.</p>



<p>On the lower level, a spacious living room welcomes you from the entrance hall, offering access to the convenient under-stairs storage. Flowing seamlessly, the living room extends into an expansive open-plan kitchen/dining area, forming a spacious and interconnected living space. The free standing island kitchen design is ideal for entertaining, the lush turfed garden and sizable patio through double patio doors, perfect for indoor-outdoor gatherings.</p>



<p>Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a single leading off the central landing. The master suite is especially large, accommodating a spacious en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom with bath.</p>



<div style="height:44px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>Plot 76 </strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-group alignwide"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained"></div></div>



<p>For <strong>Plot 76</strong>, The Taylor, we went for a stunning Halesworth sage green &amp; porcelain kitchen design with bespoke Knurled Aged Brass effect handles, these handles are not only unique but bring warmth and a rustic texture into the kitchen, the sleek Miami Vena Quartz worktop, our most popular, was an easy choice. For the bathroom we went with a Monteverde Oak tile which brings a clean contemporary look yet still embodies the rustic feel throughout the home. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong> Plot 77 </strong></h2>



<div style="height:35px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>





<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>For <strong>Plot 77</strong>, The Taylor, we opted for the Chelford Navy, imparting a sophisticated and contemporary ambiance. The navy units stand in contrast against the pristine white Miami Vena Quartz worktops, creating an elegant visual balance. To complement the navy design, we selected a combination of classic round doorknobs and cupped handles, both with an aged brass effect, adding a touch of timeless charm to the space.</p>



<p>One of our favourite features of <strong>Plot 77</strong> is the Cast Dark Blue tiles in the En-suite, the dark navy tiles echo the color palette of the kitchen units, creating a sense of flow throughout the living space. This colour consistency gives the sense of a well thought out space and also looks great in contrast with the dark oak beams.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>We are thrilled to finally unveil the charming features of our two Taylor homes at <strong><a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/bolton-gardens/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bolton Gardens</a></strong>. Witnessing the transformation from concept to reality has been immensely rewarding, and we are delighted with the results. Each aspect of these homes reflects our dedication to creating spaces that inspire and delight.             We invite you to come discover the unique character of these meticulously crafted               re- imagined homes.</p>

Our Barns are completed & ready to view!


<p>The housing market is&nbsp;continuing to heat up. In Yorkshire and Humber, the home of our developments, <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/the-alders/">The Alders, Skipton</a>, <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/the-willows-silsden/">The Willows</a> and <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/bolton-gardens/">Bolton Gardens</a> in Silsden, saw year-on-year price growth of 2.4%, and the month of March saw a 1.5% increase. In the North West, where <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/developments/croft-mill-foulridge/">Croft Mill in Foulridge</a> is located, the region has also seen price growth, with a 0.8% monthly increase and a year-on-year rise of the 2.6%.</p>



<p>With the average price of newly marketed properties rising by 1.5% this month, might now be the time to act?&nbsp;</p>



<p>Buyer demand is also growing nationally, up 8% from last year. But it&#8217;s not all smooth sailing. The recent Spring Budget left much to be desired, with no direct help for first-time buyers or mortgage market innovations (however, we have a solution for this, check out our latest partnership with <a href="https://www.skiptonproperties.com/the-process/own-new/">Own New</a> here). That’s why we are stepping in to plug the gap. <strong>Until the end of the month</strong>, visit our developments and talk to us about our <strong>latest tailored assistance</strong> packages to help you get on the ladder, whether it be Stamp Duty, reduced monthly mortgage payments with Own New, part exchange or a cash deposit, we are here to help.</p>



<p>With prices rising and demand on the up, secure your new Skipton Properties home before it&#8217;s too late…</p>

New Show Home Unveiling at The Alders, Skipton: Explore Three-Storey Living


<p>At Skipton Properties, we take our customers&#8217; feedback seriously. Whether it&#8217;s a pat on the back or a suggestion for improvement, we share it with our entire team. Recently, one of our homeowners from Croft Mill in Foulridge shared their experience with us, and it&#8217;s stories like theirs that keep us motivated.</p>



<p>&#8220;We have been very happy with Skipton properties,&#8221; they said. &#8220;They made our buying and selling experience very easy for us. As we had a newborn baby they allowed us the flexibility of moving in over a few days and sorted out any issues very quickly. We love our new home!&#8221;</p>



<p>It&#8217;s heartening to hear such positive feedback. Knowing that we made a difference in someone&#8217;s life, especially during a big life change like buying a home, is what it&#8217;s all about for us. The Craven home they&#8217;re living in is one of our favourites too—it&#8217;s cosy yet spacious, perfect for families like theirs.</p>



<p>We&#8217;re not just about building houses; we&#8217;re about building homes where memories are made and families thrive. And hearing stories like this one from Croft Mill, Foulridge reminds us why we do what we do. So, to all our homeowners, past, present, and future, thank you for letting us be a part of your journey. We&#8217;re here to help you build your dreams, one home at a time.</p>

Move in Time for Summer – The Alders, Skipton


<p>In a significant move to support aspiring homeowners, Santander has announced that it will be offering 5% deposit mortgages on new-build homes, marking a remarkable shift from the previous requirements of 15%. The new mortgage product will be available from tomorrow.</p>



<p>This step signifies Santander&#8217;s commitment to easing the path to homeownership, particularly for those facing the daunting challenge of saving for a hefty deposit while managing rental payments. Graham Sellar, head of development mortgages at Santander, emphasised the importance of addressing this obstacle, stating, &#8220;We know that saving for a deposit is one of the biggest hurdles for aspiring homeowners, especially for those juggling rental payments against trying to save.&#8221;</p>



<p>Under this new scheme, customers opting for new-build homes will have the opportunity to secure their dream property with just a 5% deposit. </p>



<p>David O&#8217;Leary, executive director at the Home Builders Federation, expressed enthusiasm for Santander&#8217;s initiative, highlighting the urgent need to address the housing shortage and facilitate access to homeownership. He remarked, &#8220;Santander&#8217;s introduction of 95% mortgages for new-build homes is extremely welcome. Most of us recognise that there is a shortage of homes and it’s becoming harder for younger households to step into homeownership.&#8221;</p>
