Our experienced team will work with you to guide you through the purchase process and customise your new home. As a purchaser you will be given primary input into the design, appearance and landscaping of your home. This is a unique and exciting opportunity to live at one of six custom-build plots, in a stunning contemporary home designed by you and built by Lockley Homes.
Custom build is a process of development which allows the client to influence the design of their house from a range of options, resulting in a truly individual home. Working with Lockley Homes on one of our bespoke designs ensures that your new home will be completely unique to you and finished to your exact specification.
The custom build plots at Malvern View are characterised by a spacious, lower density pattern of development in prime position, with open countryside to the rear and views over to the Malvern Hills. The sizes of the custom build plots are approximately one quarter of an acre.
Planning - Reserved Matters Application
The development site has been acquired by Lockley Homes and outline planning permission was obtained for the six custom build plots. Permission is based upon the completed homes conforming to certain design criteria which chime with the overall design principles for Malvern View.
As part of the design process, your final design must adhere to these principles, as well as the Design and Access Statement (which contains the Design Code and Compliance Checklist), in order to comply with the Local Development Order overseen by Wychavon District Council.
Once you have paid your reservation fee and selected your style of home we will submit a reserved matters planning application in your name to Wychavon District Council detailing the appearance, scale and landscaping of your home. Once this application has been approved and the plot sale has exchanged contracts we will provide a detailed schedule of construction.
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)
SDLT will be paid on the price of the land rather than the ‘finished home value”.
Reservation fee
A reservation fee of 1% of the property price is payable when you sign the reservation agreement. It will be deducted from your 10% deposit when you exchange contracts. Please note that exchange of contracts must take place within 28 days of signing the reservation agreement, or it expires. In some cases, we can extend this period, but it is at our discretion.
There is a 24 hour cooling-off period after you have paid the reservation fee, during which you will receive a full refund if you change your mind. After that, we will retain 25% of the fee if you cancel the purchase before contracts are issued to the appointed solicitor, to cover our administrative costs. Once contracts have been issued, 50% of the reservation fee will be retained if you decided not to continue with the purchase of your new home.
