In 2020, home improvement in the UK rose by 12%, with maintenance and repairs and painting and decorating being the jobs most homeowners have had to undertake. For first-time buyers, purchasing a home can often come with unexpected costs and therefore, personalising their new home can often end up taking a back seat. Luckily for Peabody buyers, the housing association is offering purchasers at its Valley House, Patchworks, Motion, and The Pomeroy developments a £2,000 David Phillips furniture voucher and interior design consultation with one of Instagram’s hottest interior design accounts (Little Big Bell, Design at Nineteen and Around.Robyn) terms and conditions apply. 

Andrew Peglau, Assistant Director of Marketing at Peabody comments:

“This is a truly fantastic package for our buyers, especially those who are stepping onto the ladder for the first time and are on a budget. Decorating and furnishing your property helps to make a house feel like home, and also benefits mental wellbeing. For many buyers creating a space that is functional yet stylish can prove tricky and expensive, however with the help of David Phillips and some fantastic designers our purchasers need not worry. Combining modern open plan living with fantastic local amenities and vast amounts of green and blue spaces, buyers are sure to find a Peabody home that suits their needs.”

Running alongside Peabody’s ‘Interior Design Challenge’ campaign this fantastic incentive aims to enable buyers to create their dream property, and David Phillips is on hand with its top-of-the-range chic furniture to ensure buyers can kit out their new home in style.
