With recent changes to LBTT raising the level the tax is paid from £145,000 to £250,000 until March 2021, it’s an ideal time to take advantage of these incentives and buy the home of your dreams.

In addition to offering award-winning design and build quality, Dandara’s new properties are highly insulated and fitted with thermally and acoustically efficient double-glazed uPVC windows as standard.

All properties are highly energy efficient with photovoltaic panels offering renewable energy, and central heating and hot water provided by energy-efficient,

gas-fired boiler systems, which can make Dandara homes up to 50 per cent cheaper to run than a Victorian property.
