• A NEW Show Home Pop Up is coming in Skipton!

  POP UP SHOW HOME NOW OPEN IN THE ELDER – PLOT 29….

  We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you. We are closing our Show Home in Plot 1 at The Alders, Skipton, and it will soon become the warm abode for a new family.

  Closing the doors of The Middleton in Plot 1 signifies the end of one chapter but opens another. We are delighted to introduce a temporary pop-up show home in The Elder, showcasing our innovative bungalow concept in Plot 29. We kindly ask for your understanding and patience as we navigate through this transition period, ensuring that every detail aligns seamlessly with our commitment to excellence. We’ll let you know as soon as we are ready, however, please note that our Sales Office will be in the Elder whilst we transform the space so feel free to pop in or book an appointment in the meantime.

  The Elder, with its distinctive bungalow design, captures the essence of comfortable and contemporary living. This pop-up is being created to give you another experience of our homes while we eagerly prepare for the next phase of our journey. Look forward to stylish interiors that may spark ideas for your own space. Act now, as we have only three Elder homes left. Contact us for more information before the launch—we’d love to fill you in on the special features of these final homes.

  Mark your calendars in late March, as we eagerly anticipate the grand opening of our brand new show home in the Cooper (which we just have one of btw!). This Show Home will exemplify the spacious luxury of three-storey living, a feature in all of our homes remaining at the Alders in Skipton. From top to bottom, every corner is being meticulously crafted to reflect the essence of our family values and commitment to creating homes that resonate with the way modern families live.

  Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for believing in our homes.

  For now, we’ll share the imagery of our Middleton Show Home…..!

• Introducing the Willows in Silsden

  We are delighted to announce the launch of our newest development, The Willows in Silsden, West Yorkshire. This weekend, join us at our Marketing Suite for an exclusive preview of these thoughtfully crafted homes. Walk-ins are warmly welcomed, or appointments can be made between 10:30 am and 5 pm.

  As a family business, crafting these 44 homes from natural stone has been more than a project – it’s a labour of love for our team. From the careful selection of the land to the anticipation of this sales launch, it’s been a journey that spans three years of dedication and passion.

  The Willows features 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes, all meticulously built in natural stone with an emphasis on stone detailing, reflecting Skipton Properties’ renowned commitment to quality and attention to detail. One of the standout features of the development is a stone wall that spans over half of the development, seamlessly integrating with the natural landscape.

  Embracing sustainability, The Willows is equipped with solar panels and electric car charging, reflecting our dedication to eco-friendly living.

  The first homes to be released include the four-bedroom family home, The Hartford (there will just be one on the development), and the three-bedroom Ashton. Also making a return is The Emily, a favourite from The Green in Glusburn.

  

  We are excited to introduce a new home, The Chadwick. These three-bedroom homes, backing onto the canal, feature a unique design with arched window detailing to the front elevations. To take advantage of their canalside position, triangular glazing has been incorporated into the gables to ensure abundant natural light pours into the home. Inside expect contemporary designs with island kitchens, quartz worktops and large master suites.

  When will be launching a Show Home you may ask?

  Our Show Home and View Home, situated in Plots 43 and 44—The Read and The Emily, respectively—are set to launch this Summer.

  In the meantime why not browse photos of our latest Show Home at Croft Mill in Foulridge, Lancashire.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  To guarantee you secure your preferred plot, we invite you to visit us during our pre-launch phase before the Show Home is officially unveiled. This exclusive opportunity allows you an advance glimpse into the exceptional features awaiting you at The Willows.

• UK Housing Market Expected to Rise in 2024!

  

  

  

  Dreaming of living in a Skipton Properties home? It may be more reachable than you think!

  In recent news from The Guardian, a top estate agent shared that UK house prices are likely to go up in 2024, defying earlier expectations of a decline. This boost is thanks to a competitive mortgage pricing battle and the anticipation of interest rate cuts by the Bank of England, sparking renewed interest in the property market.

  After a year of prices falling in 2023, global property consultancy Knight Frank has changed its prediction. They now expect UK house prices to increase by 3% in 2024, overturning the earlier estimate of a 4% drop.

  Against a backdrop of decreasing inflation and growing excitement about potential interest rate cuts, Knight Frank believes that the recent increase in mortgage approvals will lead to a significant rise in property transactions. They predict a potential increase of at least 10% in transactions throughout the year.

  Adding to the positive outlook, the online property website Rightmove reports a considerable rise in asking prices for new sellers. Between December and January, asking prices went up by an average of 1.3%, equal to £4,571. This increase is the most significant for this time of year since before the pandemic, suggesting a strong and thriving UK housing market in 2024. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development!

  

  Mortgage news 🏡 Danny Belton, Head of Lending at Mortgage Advice Bureau, said, “The launch of a host of new lower rates is a welcome boost to those looking to buy or remortgage, especially after a challenging 2023. While we have started 2024 positively with a few rate reductions, by May, we could see the first base rate cut, assuming conditions have continued to improve.”

• Skipton Properties Spreads Christmas Cheer Through Christmas Charity Campaign

  

  Demonstrating our commitment to the community through a heart-warming Christmas charity campaign.

  This year, we have extended our support to several local organisations, significantly impacting the lives of those in need during the festive season.

  Friends of Foulridge Receives 30 Selection Boxes for Annual Christmas Event

  We kicked off our charitable endeavours by contributing 30 selection boxes to Friends of Foulridge for their annual Christmas event. The event, held in aid of Curry on the Street, aims to support this incredible organisation that provides warm meals, shelter, and essential mental health advice to those who need it most. Our contribution ensures that the Christmas spirit is felt by all, even in challenging times. We then asked Maureen (who helped organise the event) to open our Show Home at Croft Mill, Foulridge officially!

  

  Colne Open Door Centre Receives Two Large Boxes of Toys for Gift Hampers

  Colne Open Door Centre, an organisation dedicated to community welfare, received a generous donation in the form of two large boxes of toys. The toys will be a part of over 250 gift hampers arranged by the centre for young children in the community. These hampers, complete with wrapping paper and Sellotape, allow parents and guardians to actively participate in the joy of giving during the holiday season. Skipton Properties is proud to support Colne Open Door Centre in their mission to provide counselling, unemployment advice, and free food parcels to those in need.
