We only viewed this property to completely rule out new builds,’ says Kat. ‘My partner Chris and I were moving to Bristol and I was adamant I wanted a home with character, so a brand-new property was out of the question.’

‘We arrived at the development determined not to like any of the properties, but we were instantly won over. The houses were built with modern living in mind, they were much more energy efficient and I liked having the comfort of the various warranties. Unexpectedly smitten with the prospect of life in a modern property, we bought one.
