A couple from Oxfordshire have chosen David Wilson Homes’ Wintringham development in St Neots to settle down for retirement.

Crista (62) and Addie Haak (64) decided to downsize from their larger home to a Holden style property at the development on Nuffield Road, with their two dogs Coco and Jessie, to be closer to their children and grandchildren.

The couple said: “We don't understand why more people don't consider a new build when retiring. On top of everything being up to date and modern, we very rarely, if ever, have to worry about maintenance.

“Buying a new build property was originally Addie’s idea, but when we both saw the properties from David Wilson Homes, we were both convinced. The quality of the homes just seemed clear compared to others we had looked at.

“We originally chose St Neots for practical reasons, to be closer to our family, but we couldn’t be happier at Wintringham. The neighbours we have met so far are all friendly, lovely people, and we can’t wait to welcome even more.

“One of the things we were told when purchasing our new home was how energy efficient it is, and that is very true. Our new home is far better insulated than our previous one and stays nice and toasty. It’s hard to believe how much we had our heating on through winter in our previous home compared to now.

“The purchasing and moving process was fantastic, with the sales team being very professional and helpful. We were particularly impressed with the Site Manager who went above and beyond to make sure our move went smoothly, and would certainly recommend David Wilson Homes to our friends and family.”
