Creating communities
Gilbert & Goode offers several tailored buying schemes, providing a range of customised options for different types of buyers. The firsttime buyer scheme is tailored specifically to those buying their first property and includes up to £ 1500 towards solicitor’ s fees, up to £ 6000 towards mortgage repayments, and a £ 2000 IKEA voucher to furnish their new home. Similarly, the key worker and UK Armed Forces schemes offer either £ 7500 towards mortgage repayments or £ 15,000 off the price of a new home for workers defined as providing a vital service, especially in the police, health service, or education sectors.
Aside from these specific schemes, Gilbert & Goode also offers property part exchange, show home sales and leaseback, and shared ownership options. The company also offers a buying scheme called Move Assist, in which Gilbert & Goode helps homeowners to sell their existing home while deciding on their new one.
As a leading new homes developer in the South West, Gilbert & Goode has built strong relationships with local landowners, planning authorities, councillors, and local stakeholders. The company is constantly looking to acquire residential land opportunities, with an experienced in-house land and planning team to devise strategies that promote land and deliver consents that are commercially viable and address local housing needs.
The company also invests in the communities in which it works by making contributions towards highways, schools, and local facilities, as well as being part of the Ocean Housing Group, a prominent housing provider in Cornwall. Gilbert & Goode offers a fantastic turn-key service, from land acquisition, planning, design, and construction to sales, marketing, and joint ventures. With a track record of successful collaborations, Gilbert &
Goode has worked with LiveWest, Westward Housing, Coastline Housing, Blue Cedar Homes, and Cornwall Council.
Ranging from complete estate regeneration to new build schemes, Gilbert & Goode creates mixed and sustainable communities, giving its joint venture partners direct access to the land and sales skills of its inhouse teams. By working with these development organisations, Gilbert & Goode not only delivers much-needed new housing but also generates significant value that can be reinvested in other community projects by its partners, whether local authorities, a housing association, or other public sector bodies.
With over five decades of experience and an unwavering focus on providing quality homes, Gilbert & Goode has established itself as a trusted partner in shaping the South West’ s housing landscape. From supporting customers on their homebuying journey to building strong partnerships with local organisations, the company’ s commitment clearly goes beyond houses and instead focuses on creating vibrant places that residents are proud to call home. ■
