Success of Taylor Wimpey Spanish homes exhibition despite heavy early morning snow fall!

Success of Taylor Wimpey Spanish homes exhibition despite heavy early morning snow fall!

A covering of snow early on the morning (21st February) of our Taylor Wimpey exhibition at the Strathallan Hotel in Birmingham did nothing to deter a number of serious prospective buyers, clearly determined to take advantage of the substantial exhibition discounts of up to 40% and to get the hotel whatever the weather!

Investabroad Properties Managing Director Peter Veitch admits to a loud groan and a few choice words when he looked out of his bedroom window at 5.30 in the morning to see some three inches of snow. “I really thought that we were in for a complete disaster” he said, “but how wrong I was!

“True, the numbers were well down on what we were expecting and I’m sure would have had, but the determination of our visitors to get to the show come what may, in some cases having driven considerable distances, and their obvious knowledge and focus when they arrived, was a clear indication that promoting Taylor Wimpey of Spain will be a success, whatever the circumstances!”

Indeed, visitors to the show had driven from as far as Leicester and Northamptonshire to get to the event and were rewarded for their efforts by being able to spend more time with the Taylor Wimpey agents than might otherwise have been the case. “The unexpected snow fall was something of a blessing in disguise” said Peter Veitch. “It is quite probable that, had we had many more visitors whose interest was more of a casual nature, there would have been much less time to spend with those who came with the intention of adding to their existing knowledge and discussing the arrangements for an inspection visit”.

Inspection visits already arranged

Inspection visits to both the Costa del Sol and Mallorca have already been arranged as a result of the exhibition and we at Investabroad Properties are confident that others will follow. This cements our belief that 2010 will prove to be a successful selling year for Taylor Wimpey products, despite the continuing uncertainty about the UK economy and our MD Peter Veitch cites a number of reasons for this.

“The fact is” he said “that, in spite of all that has happened during the last two years or so, a great many people have been able to retain considerable personal wealth, as well as their aspirations to own a fine home in the sunshine and relaxed atmosphere of Spain. Quite rightly, they have held back from buying during a period when property prices were falling, but they recognise that, with developments of the calibre of Taylor Wimpey, those days have come to an end and it is now time to get into the market.

“This situation has come at an opportune time for, quite simply, many people have simply had enough of waiting and now just want to get on with enjoying the benefits of owning a property in Spain. Of course, Spain continues to have its own economic problems, but the fundamentals which have been attracting British buyers for so many years have not changed. The climate is still great, the infrastructure is excellent and most people rate its health service as far better than that of the UK.

“Furthermore, it hasn’t moved! You can still fly to Malaga and Palma in two and a half hours from most UK airports, so it is still perfectly feasible to have a long weekend at your holiday home in the sun”.

Some price discounts still available

Although some of the discounts offered by Taylor Wimpey were specifically for the exhibition and have now been withdrawn, others remain in place for a limited period of time – one of many reasons for would-be buyers of a home in Spain to contact us at Investabroad Properties and find out if we have what they are looking for! While we are about it, here are a few other reasons:

• Taylor Wimpey, formerly Taylor Woodrow, has been building fine homes successfully in Spain for over 50 years
• During the last 12 months or so, the company sold more than 200 properties during the worst market conditions in memory
• The company selects only the finest locations for its developments with glorious views and close proximity to excellent local amenities being of paramount importance
• The Taylor Wimpey architects produce a variety of wonderfully stylish designs and superb specifications which are implemented with materials and fittings of the highest quality
• The Taylor Wimpey offices in Spain and Mallorca ensure a smooth transaction, from the personal inspection visit through the purchase process and continuing with ongoing after sales service
• Taylor Wimpey is a name you know and can trust; everything is done “by the book” and there are no planning issues to worry about
• Taylor Wimpey de Espana Management has clearly stated that its prices have fallen as far as they are going to and that prices in choice locations such as theirs are now starting to increase again

So, if you are thinking of buying a home for holidays, permanent residence, investment or a combination of these, talk to us at Investabroad Properties now; and, even if your plans are rather more in the future, still talk to us now so that we can be aware of your aspirations and keep you advised of new Taylor Wimpey projects as they become available.
