Yes. With incentives currently available on selected plots and homes ready to move into before the end of the year, autumn is a strong time to buy at The Furlongs at Holland Park in Spalding. Homes range from 2 to 5 bedrooms from £229,995*, come with solar panels, battery storage and EV charging as standard, and are backed by a 10 year warranty as part of Broadgate Homes' 50th anniversary year.
Why does timing matter when buying a new build?
Timing isn’t usually the first thing buyers think about when weighing up a new build purchase, but it can make a real difference to what’s on offer and how quickly you can move in. Incentive packages on new build developments are typically time limited and plot specific, which means the deposit contribution, stamp duty support or legal fee coverage available today may not be available on the same terms in a few months. Combine that with the practical benefit of moving before Christmas, and buying in autumn tends to line up favourably on both counts.
There’s also a simple seasonal logic to it. Buyers who complete before the year turns get to start the new year already settled, rather than mid house hunt or waiting on a chain. For anyone weighing up whether to act now or wait, that’s often the deciding factor as much as price.
What’s available at The Furlongs right now?
The Furlongs at Holland Park currently offers 2 to 5 bedroom homes from £229,995*, with a range of house types to suit different buyers and different stages of life. The three bedroom Errol offers a bright, well proportioned layout with space to gather and space to retreat, making it a popular choice for first time buyers and young families. The five bedroom Dunkeld is built for flexible family living, with the kind of room to grow that longer term buyers are usually looking for.
Every home at The Furlongs comes with the same standard specification regardless of house type. That means solar panels, battery storage and EV charging as standard on every plot, not as an optional upgrade. It’s a specification designed around how people actually live now, from electric vehicles to rising awareness of energy costs, rather than being added on top of a traditional build.
What incentives are available this autumn?
Selected plots at The Furlongs currently come with three of the biggest costs of moving covered: a 5% deposit contribution, stamp duty paid, and legal fees up to £2,000. Together, these can be worth around £17,000 on a home like The Errol, which is a meaningful reduction in what a buyer needs to find upfront.
Because incentives are applied plot by plot and can change as availability does, the most accurate and current figure will always come from speaking directly with the sales team rather than relying on a general estimate. Terms and conditions apply, and the offer excludes non-UK residents and buyers with additional properties, so it’s worth checking eligibility early in the process rather than late.
How much could I save on energy bills?
Based on modelling comparing an older UK home to a home at The Furlongs, homeowners can expect to save an average of £1,353 a year on energy bills. That figure comes from the combined effect of solar panels, battery storage, EV charging and the higher specification insulation used across the development, rather than any single feature on its own.
Actual savings will vary depending on occupancy, tariffs and usage, so this figure is best treated as a guide rather than a guarantee. What it does illustrate is the underlying principle behind the build: a new build home shouldn’t just look better than an older one, it should genuinely cost less to run, without asking residents to change how they live to see the benefit.
What’s it like living in Spalding?
Spalding offers an established market town centre, good local schools, and easy access to the A16 and A17, making it a practical base whether you’re commuting, running a household, or both. Peterborough is around 35 minutes away by car, giving onward rail connections into London for anyone who needs them regularly, without the cost or pace of living somewhere more central.
It’s the kind of place that offers small town character without small town isolation. A working town centre rather than one built purely around retail parks, a genuine sense of community, and enough surrounding countryside to make weekends feel different from weekdays. For buyers moving from busier or more expensive areas, that combination is often exactly what they’re looking for.
What comes as standard on every home at The Furlongs?
Beyond the energy specification, every home at The Furlongs is built to the same underlying standard that applies across all Broadgate Homes developments. That includes a 10 year warranty, giving cover well beyond the point most snagging issues would typically appear, and a chain-free buying process, which removes one of the more stressful and unpredictable parts of moving. There’s also a team on hand from first enquiry through to key collection, so buyers aren’t left navigating the process alone.
This consistency matters particularly for anyone comparing The Furlongs against other new build options in the area. It’s one thing to promise a good specification. It’s another to back that promise with a warranty, a straightforward buying process, and fifty years of a family run business standing behind what’s been built.
Is buying now better than waiting?
For most buyers, the honest answer depends on individual circumstances rather than a single universal rule, but there are a few practical reasons autumn specifically tends to favour buying rather than waiting. Incentive packages are time limited by nature, plot availability changes continuously as homes sell, and moving before Christmas avoids carrying a house move into the busier, colder start of the new year.
None of that means waiting is the wrong choice for every buyer. But for anyone who is already close to a decision, autumn currently offers a combination of available plots, active incentives and a realistic Christmas move-in window that may not line up in quite the same way later in the year.
