Key worker Sarah Irwin couldn’t believe how much she could be saving each month by buying a new New Build HomeBuy house.

The 24-year-old PE teacher will be almost halving the amount she spends on rent when she moves into the brand new property in Stretham in Cambridgeshire.

Sarah, who teaches 13-19-year-old students, has been renting in central Cambridge.

With the lease due to run out, she decided one Sunday that it would be better to buy and not rent again. One quick surf on the Internet later and she had found Keyhomes East’s contact details.

She had already heard about Keyhomes East from colleagues so she rang the next day.

Sarah then found out that there was an open day being held on the following Saturday to view new properties being built in Stretham.

When she went to look around, she was impressed. “The houses are lovely. I decided there and then,” she said. “It was all fate!”

Apart from enjoying the quality of her new home, Sarah will also be financially better off when she moves in shortly.

Her end terrace house comes complete with features she did not expect to find, including a downstairs toilet, laminate flooring and coving throughout. The house also has a large hall, stairs and landing, two good size bedrooms, a car port and a garden.

“I have friends with three-bedroom houses that aren’t as spacious,” she said. She also appreciates all the finishing touches. “The attention to detail is good.”

Sarah is particularly grateful to Sarah Hipkiss, one of the sales and marketing officers at Keyhomes East. “I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Keyhomes East. I have already recommended them to three of my friends,” she said.

“Sarah has always been my key point of contact and she has assisted me all the way throughout.”
