Graydon Worthing, Sales Director for Barratt West Midlands, said, “Finding that brand new home you’ve always dreamed of is a fun way to spend a bank holiday. As well as a variety of houses and apartment types that are on offer, our developments all have showhomes which will be open to have a look around to give people some tips and hints on how to stamp their identity onto the property they purchase.
“And, whether you are relocating to the area or are moving from your current home in Birmingham, there is so much to do in the city to really make a day or even a weekend of homehunting. The city’s attractions when combined with its shops, entertainment, restaurants and good commuter links make it a fantastic place to buy.”
