Storeton Halls Latest Residents

STORETON HALL LATEST RESIDENTS

Peter and Hannah Jones settle into their forever home, the stunning Epsom

At the start of 2020 Peter and Hannah Jones were considering extending their existing home in Bebington to help accommodate their young family.

However, the couple had registered their interest in our Storeton Hall development and were keen to find out more.

Peter continues: “It was fate really. We had plans to extend our home but then lock-down happened. And when we saw more details of the development and what it had to offer our plans changed. We liked the fact that it will only be small and has the focus of the historic buildings.

“Because we had registered we got sent pre-launch information and really liked the look and the layout of The Epsom house type. We put our house on the market in the summer and it sold within a week.”

The plot they chose was earmarked to be the show home for the development so was fitted with carpets, curtains and blinds and fitted furniture to the master bedroom and second bedroom.

Peter said: “Our move in was delayed from November to January and our biggest stress was the prospect of having to rent for a time with three children under 10 but fortunately our buyers were equally understanding and it all worked out in the end.

“We found PJ Livesey really accommodating and Charlotte in the sales office looked after us every step of the way to help us in. She has been amazing and nothing was too much trouble.”

The family are now settled in their ‘Forever Home’ with the children still able to attend the same primary schools and nursery while the location is handy for their parents’ commute.

They all love the huge L-shaped open plan kitchen, dining, living family space with bi-fold doors onto the garden and the practical utility that leads into the garage.

Hannah said: “We are both teachers so it has been lovely to have the quiet space of the separate study, both for us and for the children to concentrate on homework.

“The children all have their own bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms makes mornings much easier. It is a brilliant family home and we do keep stopping to pinch ourselves and say: ‘Is this really ours?! We feel very lucky to have found Storeton Hall and to be living here.”

Peter said: “We are five minutes from good local shops yet surrounded by space and countryside with views of the North Wales hills and great dog walks right from the front door. It really does offer the best of both worlds.”

AROUND THE WORLD FOR RALPH

The PJ Livesey Team are raising money for The Christie Charity

The PJ Livesey Team is walking, running, rowing and cycling our way around the world – covering a whopping 25,000 miles – to raise money for The Christie Charity.

This amazing challenge is also to support our colleague Ralph, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment at The Christie Hospital in Manchester.

Clocking up these miles is our way of showing him we are with him every step of the way.

Georgina Livesey said: “My initial idea was to cross the Atlantic for Ralph and then someone suggested we should circumnavigate the world and I was sold!

“Ralph has been an integral part of PJ Livesey since the company was founded and continues to inspire us now with his humour and strength. It speaks volumes that so many people are joining in to take on the world for him!”

Eighty people are recording their daily miles with progress plotted on a giant map.

The Christie provides outstanding treatment and care for Ralph and many others and we are trying to raise an initial £2,500 whilst traveling 25,000 miles Around the World for Ralph!

We have already completed 3300 miles and have currently just passed Montreal.

We will add regular updates here and would love it if people wanted to donate to this wonderful cause.

HINTS OF EXTENDED STAMP DUTY

Look out home buyers for news of Stamp Duty extension

Strong hints that the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak will extend the Stamp Duty holiday in the budget on March 3rd is welcome news for home buyers.

The tax break – which can save buyers up to £15,000 – had been due to end at the end of March but is now expected to be extended until the end of June in line with other measures to support the economy.

Which means anyone contemplating a move could now have four months to find their next home – plenty of time to complete the searches and the paperwork and be happy in their new home for summer.

Sales director Craig Lynch said: “The deadline of the end of March has put a lot of pressure on the whole system as people rushed to complete. Extending until the end of June allows those who thought they had missed out to relook at properties and pursue their purchase.

“We have a clear build programme on all our sites and have a portfolio of properties that are on schedule to be completed for the end of June enabling buyers to take advantage of this significant tax saving.

“There is a suggestion that the benefit may be tapered to only apply to transactions agreed before the March deadline so anyone who had been considering a move should get in touch as soon as possible so they don’t miss out this time.”

The Stamp Duty holiday cuts the bill entirely on properties costing between £125,000 and £500,000 and reduces it on homes over £500,000.
