We knew we wanted a new build property in an area with good road connections and amenities; so when Val saw Shobdon Oaks on the Taylor Wimpey website we wasted no time in driving down to look at it. We immediately knew Shobdon Oaks was the place for us. It has a charming rural feeling, set amongst beautiful countryside, but isnt too remote for local shops and pubs. They fell in love with a fourbedroomed President on the development but no sooner had they chosen it, it was snapped up by a cash buyer. We were really upset when we lost out on the President, but Taylor Wimpeys sales negotiator Jaki Poole was great and talked us through all of our options, added Andy. Given the difficulty of selling our house in Wales, Jaki suggested part exchange as a possible solution, introducing us to the companys part exchange manager Julie
