• Get to know Jessica, our newest team member

  Introducing our Sales Manager, Jessica Hall

  Meet the newest member of our Sales team. Working closely with our Creative and Design Director, she’s dedicated to ensuring a seamless sales process and delivering extraordinary customer service experiences alongside various other valuable contributions!

  What experience do you bring to your role at Skipton Properties? 

  From a young age, I was inspired by my grandparents, who actually built their own home. This sparked my passion for construction, and I’ve been immersed in the property sector for a solid 11 years. Over the past seven years, I’ve focused on the new build industry, working on diverse developments across Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and Middlesbrough.

  I genuinely love what I do; that enthusiasm reflects in my work. Delivering a high level of service to our customers is my priority. I’m all about continuous learning and lending a helping hand. That’s why I’m a Mental Health First Aider and am also on a journey to enhance my leadership skills through a CMI-accredited leadership program.

  What aspect of beginning your journey here are you looking forward to the most?

  I’m really looking forward to the sense of accomplishment that comes from creating homes our buyers will truly be proud of. Our team invests a lot of thought and care behind the scenes long before we even break ground on a new site. This commitment ensures that we’re not just building houses but crafting homes that will be cherished for generations, and I can’t wait to be a part of that!

  What do you look for in a new home, living in a new-build yourself?

  For me, it’s really about the kitchen space. I’m all about hosting Christmas gatherings, and Yorkshire puddings for the whole family are a must on Sundays. So, personally, I pay close attention to the kitchen’s storage solutions and make sure there’s ample room for everyone at the dining table.

  Let’s extend a warm welcome to Jessica as she joins our team. If you spot her at any of our developments, don’t hesitate to stop and say hi!

• Celebrating a Year at The Alders in Skipton

  As we celebrate our one-year anniversary at The Alders, we reflect upon the journey that has brought us here.

  Perched on the threshold of the iconic gateway to the Dales, Skipton, The Alders is a haven that captures the breathtaking panoramic views of the majestic Sharp Haw Hill. These vistas serve as a reminder of the untouched beauty that surrounds this remarkable community.

  With pride, we announce that The Alders has become a cherished home for 23 families, each adding their unique story to the tapestry of our vibrant community. The Show Home bustles with visitors, each eager to explore the specifications that await them in their own homes or to experience the layout and ambience of the residences that grace The Alders.

  

  

  

  

  

  “We’re thrilled with the incredible progress of The Alders over the past year,” shares Caroline, who leads our Sales & Creative team. “It’s been quite a journey, and we’re delighted to say that 23 wonderful families now call this development home. The excitement is growing as we prepare to reveal what’s next, right here in our hometown and nestled in the heart of the picturesque Yorkshire Dales.”

  Within the embrace of this exquisite development, four Aspen homes stand poised to capture your hearts. These charming abodes, adorned with three bedrooms and three storeys, blend perfectly with the beauty of our landscaped surroundings. Situated at the edges, they provide uninterrupted views of our development landscaping and woodland area.

Again, set against the picturesque canvas of our development landscaping, these residences boast a generously-sized garden that basks in sunlight throughout the day. And our four-bedroom Trent house style, in a similar, picturesque position.

• In the news: Mortgage rates cut for the second time in 3 weeks

  
  In an encouraging trend for potential homeowners, several major lenders are making significant reductions to their mortgage rates, opening up new opportunities for those looking to buy a Skipton Properties home at The Alders in Skipton and Bolton Gardens in Silsden.

  Following the recent news of Nationwide’s impressive rate cuts of up to 0.55%, TSB has joined the fray with reductions of up to 0.4% on selected five-year fixed homeowner mortgages. These new TSB deals offer attractive rates starting from 5.44%, making homeownership even more accessible and affordable.

  But the rate-cut party doesn’t stop there. HSBC is expected to announce its own rate cuts today, providing further options and flexibility for prospective homebuyers.

  Experts in the field, like Jamie Lennox, Director at Dimora Mortgages, emphasize the significance of the upcoming inflation data. He notes, “The next inflation data is going to be key to this downward trend continuing.” This is particularly interesting given that the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (Niesr) has recently predicted that inflation rates will continue to fall throughout the remainder of the year.

  The stability and potential for further decreases in fixed mortgage rates can be attributed to swap rates, which serve as the foundation for fixed mortgage rates. These rates have shown signs of stabilization, a response to the expectation that inflation will decrease.

  The most recent data from the Office for National Statistics reveals a drop in the UK Consumer Prices Index inflation from 8.7% to 7.9% in June. This decrease has fueled optimism that the Bank of England might not need to implement substantial increases to the base rate.

  With mortgage rates becoming more favourable and inflation expectations shifting, at Skipton Properties, we firmly believe that now is an excellent moment to embark on your homeownership journey. We’re dedicated to assisting buyers every step of the way, ensuring our homes are financially accessible and fulfilling the dream of owning a brand new Skipton Properties home.

  What’s more, the HBF’s latest Watt a Save report shows that new homes can save you £2,200 a year in your energy bills. You can read the report here.

  Happy house hunting from all of us at Skipton Properties!

  We took the opportunity to speak with some members of our team to understand what it means to live in this remarkable county. Holly, Assistant Technical Coordinator, who grew up in a farmhouse nestled in the heart of the Dales, expressed her deep appreciation for the mesmerising rolling hills of Yorkshire. She can’t imagine calling any other place home!

  

  Andie, Accounts Administrator, who moved to Yorkshire from London more than a decade ago, shared her sentiments about life in the country. She emphasised that life here is much more peaceful and fulfilling, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a calmer lifestyle.

  Having spent his entire life in the delightful town of Horsforth, near Leeds, Danny, our Scaffolder, is now raising his own family here. He remarks, “Why would anyone choose to live anywhere else but Yorkshire?!”
