We’ve caught up with Beal buyers Tanisha Lloyd, 22, a full-time mum, and her partner Alistair Newton, 21, a Civil Engineer, to find out about their house-buying experience.

They moved into their first home, a two-bedroom Gramercy home at our The Greenways development in Goole, with their one-year-old daughter, Lottie, in December 2022.

Tell us about your Beal home and why you love it so much.

We love that our house is so nice and spacious. We’ve been able to make it our own and it’s a great size for us to grow as a family.

It has lots of natural light and a good-sized garden and we enjoy the convenience of having a private driveway.

Everyone we’ve met at The Greenways has been really friendly and the community has a family-friendly atmosphere.

How did you find the service from Beal?

Jayne, the Beal sales executive, was absolutely amazing from the start.

As first-time buyers, we felt quite nervous and we went into buying our first home completely blind.

Jayne talked us through the whole process, used simple language so we could understand everything, and made sure we knew what was happening all the time. She also kept us updated with weekly emails and calls.

It felt like we were talking to a friend throughout the buying process. We were really impressed by the whole service from Beal.

How did Beal help you through the buying process?

When we reserved the house, we wanted to look around a similar home to get a feel for the size and layout. Jayne arranged this and explained the whole house-buying process. She also gave us details of a couple of independent mortgage advisors, which was very helpful as we didn’t know where to start.

It made it so much easier for us and helped to move the process along. It’s all been very smooth and hassle-free.

How have the Beal team helped you to make your home a perfect fit for your lifestyle and tastes?

The team took time to understand our tastes, before recommending options and colours to suit us.

We’re really pleased with our kitchen. We chose a marble-effect worktop and we went for light wood effect flooring, light grey gloss cupboard doors and gun metal grey handles.

We added a vanity unit in the bathroom upstairs and chose to have additional paving slabs in the garden for a nice patio area.

Nothing was too much trouble for Beal. There wasn’t anything we wanted that they couldn’t do.

What would you say to other househunters about buying a Beal home?

Go for it! There are lots of house types to choose from and then you have so many options to make your home exactly as you want it. That means you don’t have to worry about moving in and then having to make changes.

It’s such an easy process and the amazing service tops it off. You’re treated as a friend, which is really nice.

Buying a house and making design choices can be quite daunting, but we’re really happy with everything about our home and the service we received.
