Making dreams come true in Overton, Lancashire

"If you'd have said 10 years ago that we'd be here now, building six houses, as teachers, I would never have believed you.  It just shows you if you get the right support, the right people that believe in you, then anything's possible!"

Sarah, Dan and their young family purchased the site with stunning views over the Lancashire countryside, surrounded by lovely rural stone-built cottages/properties.

This rural six house new-build scheme in Overton is going to be something special.

Switch Property Group is proud to be delivering all aspects of the development, as development partners to Sarah & Dan who are first time developers, offering support at every step of the project.

Sarah and Dan said: "We were living in a three-bed semi-detached house in Morecambe, our two children arrived and we really needed somewhere with a bit more outdoor space, a bit more rural, something with a bit more of a community feel.  I grew up in a rural area so we wanted the same for our kids!"

"We found this house with a field out the back, which was perfect, but the house itself is a big renovation project.  We probably just had enough money to get the house, but certainly didn't have enough money to do the renovation."

"And that's when the plan evolved..."

"We found a really nice architect who is local and he helped us design this little horseshoe, which we really like. We've really relied on the expertise of others and we're both teachers, so not clued up in any way!"

"This is when Switch Property Group came on site and they were immediately aware of our situation.  We didn't feel like they were judgemental of who we are, despite our obvious lack of expertise in what we were doing, and that was really attractive as a development partner."

"They listened to us, and didn't just tell us what they thought we should do.  They really understand our hopes and dreams."

"It's been five years of work, a lot of discussion, a lot of looking at drawings, a lot of chat, and all of a sudden the next couple of weeks are going to be super exciting because we're actually going to see the shape of how it's going to look.  We're going to see houses start to arrive and that's really exciting!"
