After several years living and working in Manchester, Cathy made the decision to move back home – and she hasn’t looked back since.

The lovely Cathy and Gretta.

Now living in a brand-new Braidwater home, just minutes from her family and the area she grew up in, Cathy says the move has made a real difference to her life:

“I feel incredibly lucky to have a place of my own so close to my family,” she said. “It’s great to be back where I belong.”

The decision to buy with Braidwater was an easy one. Cathy was drawn to the high standard of finish, the location, and the simplicity of the buying process. From her first viewing to receiving the keys, everything was smooth and straightforward.

“The whole thing was seamless,” Cathy said. “I didn’t have to lift a finger. My home was completely ready – I just moved straight in.”

Cathy now enjoys the comfort and privacy of her own home, while still being part of the community she’s always known. Having grown up a few miles away, she’s close to family, familiar faces, and the local shops and cafés, she’s glad to be back amongst them all again.

One of the biggest benefits, she says, is the time she now has to spend with her mum, Gretta. With no renovations or DIY projects to worry about, the two have more time to catch up and enjoy the local area together.

“It’s been such a relief not having to think about doing the place up or fixing anything,” Cathy said. “It’s all done. We’ve been able to enjoy the area and I’ve settled right in.”

For Cathy, having a space that’s truly hers – without the stress that often comes with buying or moving – has made all the difference. She credits Braidwater for making it such a positive experience.

“I’m genuinely grateful to Braidwater for making it possible. I’ve now got a secure, modern home that I can call my own, right where I want to be.”

Cathy’s story is a reflection of what many buyers are looking for today: a high-quality, low-stress home in a familiar and well-connected location. For her, Braidwater delivered exactly that.
