How planning works

Four steps, no hard sell

  1. Check your date. Use the calendar, or ring us. A free seven-day hold is yours as soon as you ask.
  2. Come to a viewing. Ninety minutes, tea, and as many questions as your parents have.
  3. Confirm with 25%. The date is yours, and a coordinator is named the same week.
  4. Plan at your pace. A call at six months, a menu tasting at three, a walk-through two weeks out.
