Hi Karen
When I spoke to my agent they said the site would not be gated, but things do change and it would be nice if the site was gated.
What type of property are you looking to buy because the Albatros and Open's will be changing for the better on the next phase. The Albatros will have the kitchen going right across to the bedroom wall and the Opens will have a basement.
If you choose to have a property with a basement and intend to convert it you may want to do what i have had done to save alot of time and mess, i have had the builders put an extra door in the entrance to the basement (opposite the original door) and hot and cold water supply put in two areas ( one below the kitchen and one below the bathroom) these will feed my ensuites. The plan two bed ensuites.The rest of the work i will do myself such as stud walls to divide bathrooms from bedrooms tiling etc.
I think the land registry is going through now.
