Surrey Sales success – Luxury family homes snapped up in record time

by Viv

Whilst other new build developments languish unsold in the outlying Surrey settlements of Epsom and Ewell, award-wining house builder Millgate is once again enjoying sales success at Regency Place in Walton-on-the-Hill. This boutique development of six detached family homes opened its Show Home doors on 16th February 2013, welcoming over 350 visitors and securing swift sales.

  • Walton-on-the-Hill property prices 50% lower than neighbouring Kingswood (Zoopla)
  • Henry VIII gave Walton Manor to Catherine of Aragon as part of her marriage settlement
  • SOLD OUT – Luxury homes at Regency Place sell out in record time

Richard Saunders, Managing Director of appointed estate agency, Richard Saunders, has been responsible for this incredible sales success.  He comments:“Regency Place is especially rare for two reasons; unlike neighbouring villages (Kingswood, Tadworth, Banstead), new home development is rare in Walton-on-the-Hill so Millgate’s development was a fresh and welcome change to the village and a great alternative to sites elsewhere. Secondly, the site offered diversity – four 2-storey houses and two larger, 3-storey houses.  The first three houses were reserved in a matter of days after launch, two by ‘empty-nesters’ and one by a more ‘mature’ family.  Younger families preferred the larger houses.

“Millgate’s exceptionally high standards played a major part in the Regency Place success story and interior features were of a standard that I have seen on much more expensive new homes.  Again Millgate’s renowned attention to detail was evident throughout the entire development.”

Indeed Walton-on-the-Hill is a savvy choice for home buyers.  It does not come with the same price tag as neighbouring Kingswood; Zoopla statistics show that over the last year 131 homes were sold in Walton-on-the-Hill with an average sales price of just over £500,000. Down the road in Kingswood where 222 properties changed hands the average price tag was over £1,150,000.

For buyers looking for a village community Walton-on-the-Hill has it all; two thriving village pubs: The Chequers has thoughtful events planned throughout the year and the best home-made pork scratchings and The Bell pub, or The Rat as it is familiarly known, is frequented by the stable lads from the racecourse at Epsom. The village also affords a pretty pond with swans and ducks to be fed and a cheerful coffee shop over the road; some excellent dinning opportunities and a world class golf course – Walton Heath.
