More than 85 per cent of homes at Dosthill Gate have now been sold and many of them are occupied.
Built by Elan Homes, the new homes offer an ease to manage and efficient to run solution to modern living, with the potential to save on the cost of living.
While provisional average house price in Tamworth in January 2025 was £226,000, according to the Office for National Statistics, it’s likely to cost more than £70,000 to bring an older three-bedroom semi-detached property to the same standard.
Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball said: “We’ve welcomed a good mix of people to Dosthill Gate including first time buyers, families and downsizers. Feedback from our homeowners is they understand that there’s a premium attached to buying a new build home, but they appreciate not having to find time or money to address the repairs and renovations an older property is likely to need to bring it to the same standard.
“HBF figures from 2023 suggest it would cost more than £73,000 to upgrade a three-bedroom semi-detached house in line with a new home. Given the cost of materials and labour have increased since then, the real bill is likely to be much higher. Plus, the headline figures don’t take into account the inconvenience of either having to live around the works or move elsewhere during major renovations.
“Factor in that heating, lighting and hot water bills in a new home are likely to be 50 per cent lower than in an older property and it’s no surprise our homes in Tamworth are popular. We’d encourage anyone looking to move in this part of Staffordshire to contact us without delay to avoid disappointment.”
