Bourne-based housebuilder Larkfleet Homes, part of the Larkfleet
Group, has been named as 'best developer in Northern Europe' at the
prestigious OPP Industry Awards.
OPP (Overseas Property Professional) is the world's number one
forum for property professionals and the awards are well considered
in the property industry.
This award win rewards Larkfleet's efforts in producing high
quality, energy-efficient housing for people in the East of
England.
Larkfleet's winning entry focused on its Stable Yard development
set in the outskirts of Oakham in Rutland.
The development comprises an exclusive selection of one, two and
three bedroom properties. High quality apartments, houses,
bungalows and cottages are offered by Larkfleet on the site.
Some properties on the Stable Yard development are Live/Work
units. These properties include a home office and are uniquely
designed so that the office has its own front door, keeping work
and living spaces separate whilst cutting down on carbon emissions
produced by the commute to work. The layout of these Live/Work
houses means that they can be used as an office, annex, a
teenager's own room - the possibilities are endless.
Larkfleet's Stable Yard development is close to some of the best
schools in the country such as the prestigious Oakham, Uppingham
and Stamford secondary schools so is in a prime location to attract
families with children of schooling age to the area.
Larkfleet Homes' managing director Karl Hick commented:
"Larkfleet Homes is committed to providing high quality housing.
This accolade serves as a reward for all the hard work of Larkfleet
employees who maintain the company's high building and business
standards.
"The Stable Yard is a fantastic development that can offer
homebuyers the peace of rural living whilst being only a few
minutes from the large historic market town of Oakham.
"I am delighted to receive this award from OPP as it serves as
recognition of our reputation as a quality housing developer, not
only in the UK but overseas as well."
Larkfleet strongly believes that it will be preferred by
homebuyers after being compared with other housebuilders against
the quality of build, reputation, energy efficiency of the property
and the overall sales experience. In fact, the high standard of
environmental construction of Larkfleet's properties could allow
householders to save up to six hundred pounds a year in energy
bills.
With house prices rising in many areas where Larkfleet boasts
developments - including Oakham - the company is urging potential
homebuyers to invest in a Larkfleet property to ensure a sound
return on their investment in years to come.
Interest rates at an all time low and the equity schemes on
offer from Larkfleet Homes mean that it can actually be cheaper to
buy with Larkfleet than to rent a property in Oakham. Properties at
the Stable Yard development are a fantastic investment opportunity
for homebuyers from the UK and overseas.
The OPP award is yet another industry certification for the
housebuilder which continues to be recognised by its peers in local
and national construction and development awards.
