Taylor Wimpey what to expect and haggling.....?
Discussion
Hi Guys. Anyone here can give me a few pointers regarding buying a new Taylor Wimpey home? We are looking to buy a four bedroom house on a local development. The plot has been picked and will be available in May 2018, but trying to get the Sales Assistant to negotiate on cost is proving hard going. They want full money for the house, no goodwill regards options or stamp duty but they ‘May’ do a easymover for us...?
The house is £377k so it’s a considerable investment for us.
Yes, I suppose we could walk away and buy something else, ( Miller Homes have a development 2 miles away) but the location is right for us, so any thoughts or insider knowledge would be great fully received.

...Thanks for all your comments with this guys, greatly appreciated.
The house we are looking at is at the end of one of those little 'spur roads' off the road that runs
through the development. So the front is not over looked (it faces a green space) and as its the end plot
I have spacing for two cars outside my house, and two behind (so four in total).
The garden is a sensible size (ie not a postage stamp) but then again, I am not a gardener but do like a
outside space for entertaining, and the garden is west facing.
There is a four bed detached behind us, so a little over looked but then again, that comes with a new development.
I have also located the social housing, and it is not on my side of the development.
I am really torn as what to do. A new house appeals with is energy saving ect, and its in the right location. I guess
it may be worth getting a good company to do a snagging report before we move in..?

.... I think we will go and have another visit over the weekend. I will not be having the back garden turfed/ landscaped as I don’t mind doing that myself, and it gives me the chance to remove all the builders rubble!
With regards extra’s we have not seen an options list yet ( although asked for twice) but if it’s sill money, I will get trades in to do them later ( or myself) as I refuse to be pay over the odds. I know that may bring more stress while getting settled, but at least I should get better quality goods at a sensible cost.
For anyone interested the development in called “The Shires” and its three miles from Worcester city centre heading towards Droitwich.
Thanks for all your help and assistance guys.
