Buying schemes to make homeownership easier

Morris Homes structures its commercial offer around several buying schemes designed for different buyer profiles:

• 5% Deposit Contribution: the company contributes 5% of the deposit, reducing the amount the buyer needs to finance.
• 105% Part Exchange: the buyer purchases a Morris home and the company buys theirs, with the aim of speeding up the transaction.
• Smart Move: a support scheme to help sell the buyer's current home.
• Great Start: allows you to buy a home for 80% of its price.
• Own New: linked to the Own New Rate Reducer option, with interest rates from 1.93% and savings that the company estimates at up to £389 per month.

Home personalisation

The housebuilder allows buyers to personalise their home from the initial stages of the process. Among the options offered is the selection of finishes such as kitchen work surfaces and bathroom tiling, as well as the addition of extra features such as granite countertops, carpeting or bespoke fireplaces. The company groups these options under the name Morris Choices, which covers bathrooms, flooring and kitchens.

Materials and fittings

Morris Homes states that it works with leading suppliers for interior finishes, including Villeroy & Boch, NEFF and Roca. The company says that its homes include modern, energy-efficient appliances, and that its construction uses high-grade materials.

House types and development design

The company's catalogue includes more than 45 different house types. According to its presentation, the developments combine architectural variety with natural landscaping to blend into their surroundings, and the housebuilder states that it reduces its environmental impact through refined building methods, sustainable materials and low-consumption appliances.

Awards and energy efficiency

The company states that it has received numerous national awards for landscaping, innovative design, construction and energy efficiency. In this last area, it claims that a new Morris home can generate savings of up to 21% a year on energy bills. The company itself presents itself as deserving of a five-star rating from its customers.
