Doing your homework is important when you’re looking to move home and with a wealth of resources at your fingertips it’s no surprise the vast majority of searches start online.

At Elan we’ve done a lot of the background research for you. Even before we acquire a development site we think about who would want to live there and why.

We’ve all been spending more time at home lately, it’s given many time to think and research moving home, perhaps because they need room for a home office, access to a bigger garden or want to escape the city to somewhere quieter where they enjoy the outdoors close to home.

While everyone’s priorities about what they want from a neighbourhood are different, some are universal, like being able to pop to a local shop to pick up essentials or being able to enjoy a stroll in pleasant surroundings.

For those with children or who are planning a family, school catchment areas are important.

For many home working is part of the new normal and so having a dedicated study could be high on the agenda, along with superfast broadband which also allows for streaming the latest entertainment. And those who are spending less time physically at their workplace are likely to consider a longer occasional commute as they strive to achieve the perfect work/life balance.

On our development pages and in our downloadable brochures, you’ll find local area guides helping you to choose the right location for you and your family.

Whether you’re relocating to a new area; a first time buyer craving your own space; a family in need of more room or are ready to downsize, the Elan website features a wealth of resources. From site plans to floor plans, photos, videos and 360o tours, there’s everything you need to help you decide which style of home meets your housing needs.

Of course, there’s nothing quite like viewing a property and seeing the area for yourself. Show homes at our developments are now open for viewing by appointment only, with social distancing measures in place.
