Savills UK | The Collection Berkshire & Buckinghamshire Magazine Summer 2022

To the latest edition of The Collection Berkshire & Buckinghamshire magazine, a property lifestyle magazine celebrating luxury living.

Boasting excellent connectivity to the capital alongside some of England’s most beautiful countryside, the counties of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire are inherently desirable places to settle down.

Named by the Sunday Times as one of its best places to live in 2022, the vibrant town of Reading has become an economic and cultural powerhouse, increasingly popular among London commuters, family buyers and investors, who realise the quality of life on offer. Slough is another increasingly popular Berkshire hotspot that is benefitting from a new lease of life as an exciting destination for retail, leisure, business and living.

Sunningdale and the surrounding towns and villages benefit from first class social facilities and are home to some of the best golf courses in the UK. The ever popular market towns of Beaconsfield and Amersham lie a little further north – benefitting from excellent rail services into London complemented by superb schooling, a fine selection of boutique retailers, cosy pubs and Michelin star restaurants all nestled in and around The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Whether you are looking for a bespoke build, contemporary family home, modern townhouse or riverside apartment, our Buckinghamshire and Berkshire new homes teams are ideally placed to look after your needs.

Our agents have a wealth of experience and a proven track record of working in partnership with developers to ensure our clients receive the very best service. All of our teams live locally and it’s this intimate knowledge of the prevailing property market that means they’re a cut above the competition.

Their approach is supported by Savills wider network of more than 600 local and global offices – combining the rigorous expertise you would expect from a large company with personal insight and practical know-how.

Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, or simply want some guidance on the latest market conditions, we’d be delighted to advise you on your next property move.

BUYING A NEW PROPERTY DOES NOT NEED TO BE DAUNTING WITH OUR STEP BY STEP GUIDE.

The buying process for new homes is broadly the same as for any other property, but the transaction is more structured and commercial. The main differences are that an immediate deposit is required to reserve the property (unlike with older properties, on which a deposit is paid when contracts are exchanged); and the timescale of the transaction is prescribed, with little flexibility.

Hi, I’m Andy Toogood and I am Head of Residential Development Sales for the Buckinghamshire and South Hertfordshire region. As an associate director I have been involved in all aspects of agency for the past 11 years with the last 7 years specialising in new homes consultancy, sales and marketing.

I live in a small village called Wooburn Green which is a stone’s throw from nearby Beaconsfield Town where you’ll often catch me frequenting the numerous restaurants, pubs and bars! I’m also fortunate to have the River Thames on my doorstep at nearby Bourne End where there’s plenty of riverside walks.
