Help finding new homes in Basingstoke

When Jeanette Haskell needed to make a quick move into a new property in Basingstoke, she turned to Taylor Wimpey for help and found the perfect place at Everest Park.

Finding and moving into new homes in Basingstoke can be a long and tiring affair, so when Jeanette found and moved into a place near her daughter, she hoped everything would progress in a straightforward manner.

But Jeanette (72) didn't even get time to unpack her possessions, because after only one day in her new home, a major problem with the house meant she had to call the removal men back to move her out.

Luckily, Jeanette was able to turn to Taylor Wimpey for help, and in just two weeks she had found, secured and moved into one of the leading housebuilder's new homes in Basingstoke at nearby Everest Park - and this time she hopes it's for a lot longer than her previous relocation!

"I had been living in a two-bedroom maisonette in Middlesex for four years," says Jeanette. "But my daughter moved and she wanted me to follow her so I began looking at new build houses for sale in Basingstoke.

After finding a place which suited her needs and was a short distance from her daughter's house, Jeanette signed the contracts and moved in.

A day later, however an issue with the builder meant she was moving back out - but it wasn't long before her traumatic experience was brought to a happy conclusion after staying with her daughter, Karen, an Everest Park resident.

"I'd found a lovely place in Basingstoke which I purchased," says Jeanette. "But there was some trouble with the house which meant I moved in one day and out the next! I put all of my possessions in storage and headed to my daughter's new home at Taylor Wimpey's Everest Park."

"While I was staying there, I decided to look at a three-bedroom townhouse and I really liked the property's character," says Jeanette. "I made an offer and two weeks later I was settling in to my new home, which just goes to show that moving house doesn't have to take months."

With her daughter and her three teenage grandchildren living just around the corner, Jeanette couldn't be happier in her new place.

"I really like my home at Everest Park, it all feels so fresh and because it's a new build it means I really don't have to worry about anything going wrong," says Jeanette. "And it amazes me to think how quickly it all happened!"
