Your customer journey

Find your perfect home

Whether you know where you want to buy or are still browsing, we would recommend you register on our website below. This is easy to do and will ensure you are in the best possible place when looking for your new home. Being registered means you will be the first to receive details of the latest releases and the best deals, and our team can help you through the process.

 

Step 1: Find your perfect home

A helping hand

Once you have decided on your Banks Homes location, you will be introduced to your friendly sales executive. This person will be with you throughout your journey, always there to answer any questions, however small. They will also introduce you to specialist solicitors and financial advisors, who will help you find the best mortgage deals. Whether this is your first home or not, our team has years of combined experience to reassure and help you along the way.

Step 2: A helping hand

Reserved just for you

Once you have found your ideal new home, it is time to reserve it just for you! If you have sold your own house (if you have one to sell), the payment of a £1,000 reservation fee is enough to take the house off the market. The process is easy to follow, and your sales executive will always be there to help. You can also start thinking about your kitchen and bathroom options, although you don’t need to make the final decision just yet.

Step 3: Reserved just for you

The legal bit

Once you’ve reserved your new home, your solicitor will go through everything with you. For our part, we will make sure all the legal considerations are as clear and transparent as they can be. The legal process should take six weeks, maybe a little longer if there are others in the chain. When contracts are ready to be exchanged, this is when you commit to buying the house, pay the deposit and everything becomes legally binding.

 

Step 4: The legal Bit

Personalise your home

The earlier you reserve your new home, the more options you’ll be able to choose from because we build in the options as we go. You can visit our customer experience centre’s and choose from a large selection of options and upgrades so you have the home you want when you collect the keys.

Step 5: Personalise your home

Staying informed

We appreciate that buying a house is probably the biggest purchase of your life. To keep you informed of progress, your sales executive will arrange weekly updates and a progress meeting on site during construction. At every stage, we will make sure you are fully informed, and every aspect of your home is built as you ordered.

Step 6: Staying informed

Getting your keys

Excitement has reached fever pitch, and your new home has been checked and is ready for handover. This is the day that you get the keys and will move in! You will receive a demonstration of how exactly how everything works, along with manuals and warranties. And never fear, with your sales executive on site, we are always there to answer any questions, however small!

 

Step 7: Getting your keys

Continued support

We think you’re going to love your new home and being part of the neighbourhood we have created. Our site and customer services team will be on hand to support you from here on. You will have a series of regular visits booked-in to make sure you are delighted with your new home. These are scheduled for your one week, one month and one year after moving in.

Buying a new home is important, and we know that. To help make the whole journey seamless and enjoyable, we will do everything we can at every step of the way.

FAQs

How much money do I need to reserve a plot?

To reserve a plot, you will need to pay a reservation fee of £1000 and have appointed a solicitor. This fee ensures that your chosen plot is secured for you while you complete the necessary purchase arrangements. (The £1000 comes off the price of the house).

When are you launching Cathedral Meadows?

We are excited to announce that our new development Cathedral Meadows will be launching on the 5th of September at the Ramside Hotel. During the launch event, you will have the opportunity to place a pre-reservation on the first 6 plots. (Plots 42, 56, 57, 58, 59, 61)  This exclusive event is your chance to secure one of the first homes in this new development.

When will the Cathedral Meadows show home be open for viewing?

We look forward to welcoming you to our Show Home, opening late 2024. The Show Home will be fully furnished and styled to give you a true sense of the quality and design of our homes. Our team will be on hand to answer any questions and guide you through the features and benefits of living in a Banks Home.

When can I move in to Cathedral Meadows?

It depends on what plot you are interested in. The whole development will take 2.5 years to build. The first plot buyers will be able to move into their new homes from January 2025.
