Returning Taylor Wimpey customers embrace lifestyle change at Woodlands Chase

Ian Vanhear (47), a Production Team Leader, and his wife, Hannah Vanhear (42), a Stock Controller, moved into their new Woodlands Chase home in December 2023 from their semi-detached two bedroom house in Southampton when looking for a change in lifestyle and to be closer to work and family.

A peaceful countryside location

The couple have been Taylor Wimpey customers before and, after moving from a new Taylor Wimpey flat into an older, 1930s house a few years ago, they have now made the move back into a newbuild home after their pre-owned 1930s home required a lot more work than anticipated before moving in. Ian said: "Taylor Wimpey was our first choice for this move after we had previously owned a Taylor Wimpey apartment; we knew we could trust the sales team and the quality of the build."

After exploring other developments, Woodlands Chase stood out to the couple due to its location, Hannah said: "It's an easy walking distance to nearby shops and restaurants in Whiteley, but far enough into the countryside that we're not bothered by traffic and noise. The woodland walks around this area were also a big draw for us."

A spacious new home

The couple opted for a three bedroom Amersham house type due to the extra space it provided compared to their previous property, Ian said: "The Amersham suited what we needed from our new home. Hannah works from home most days, so having an additional study as well as three large-sized bedrooms was ideal. The Amersham also has a garage, and a large, sunny garden."

When asked what their purchasing experience was like, Hannah said: "We can honestly say that our move was made possible only by the Taylor Wimpey sales team, who did everything they could to help us through the process. With the help of the sales team and the people behind them, we got through our purchase and we are so very grateful for all the help and support we received."

Ian and Hannah purchased their new home with the help of our Easymover scheme. Easymover allows buyers to secure their new Taylor Wimpey home before their old one is sold. We will then help you manage the sale of your existing home using our marketing and negotiating skills to make the sales process as simple as possible by removing the pressure to find a buyer. Estate agent fees will be covered* and we'll stay in contact with them, saving you both money and time.

Commenting on the Easymover scheme, Ian said: "The Easymover scheme worked well for us. Even when our first buyer pulled out, we didn't feel stressed by the situation thanks to Easymover and luckily sold again quickly."

Now that they've settled into their new home, Hannah shared their favourite things about the local area and the Amersham house type: "The woodland walks are lovely. You only need to walk a few minutes from the house and you're on a woodland path that feels more like the New Forest than Whiteley. Working from home is so much better for Hannah too now that we have a study. The house is light and airy, but also warm and cosy when it's cold. We love it."
