From life change to new beginnings: Anna’s home buying journey
Buying a home is often described as one of life’s most stressful experiences, but for Anna it became a journey defined by kindness, reassurance, and genuine support at a time when she needed it most.
Going through a divorce is never easy, and for Anna the process of finding a new home marked a significant turning point. As a vulnerable adult living with ADHD, clear communication, patience, and understanding were essential. From the very first conversation, she found exactly that.
Taking the first step
Anna’s journey began with a simple but important decision; It was time for a fresh start. With the emotional weight of a separation and the uncertainty that can come with it, moving into homeownership felt daunting. However, support from family meant she was able to take that step, with her deposit kindly gifted by her parents.
Location played a big part in her decision. Anna chose Twigworth Green, a development where she already knew several people. This offered a sense of familiarity and community from day one. That reassurance, combined with her first experience with the Bromford sales consultant, made all the difference.
Feeling supported from day one
From the outset, Anna was open about having ADHD, and the response she received immediately put her at ease. Tom, the sales consultant at Bromford, who supported her throughout the process, didn’t just listen, he acted. He helped her contact mortgage advisors, guided her through affordability questions, and made sure nothing was left unclear or forgotten.
“As someone with ADHD who can easily forget things, Tom always made sure I stayed informed throughout the process. That meant a lot to me.”
His positive, friendly attitude helped remove a lot of the stress that can come with purchasing a home, especially during a major life change.
A process that felt personal
What stood out most for Anna wasn’t just the information she was given, but how she was treated. Every professional Tom introduced her to was patient, approachable, and understanding. At no point did she feel rushed or overlooked.
“As someone going through a divorce, I truly felt seen, supported, and well taken care of during the process of purchasing my home.”
This caring approach transformed what could have been a stressful experience into one that felt smooth, straightforward, and surprisingly quick.
A community and customer care that lasts
Anna’s decision to choose Bromford was influenced by a glowing recommendation from a close friend already living on the development, but also because of the consistent kindness she experienced at every stage.
Her positive experience didn't end when she collected her keys. Anna describes the after-sales support as "amazing" and feels genuinely lucky to call Twigworth Green her home. She speaks of Tom’s role with real warmth, noting that his lovely, positive energy made him someone she could "easily chat to about anything".
“Tom has such a lovely, positive energy, he’s the kind of person you can easily chat to about anything. People often say moving is one of the most stressful things we do as adults, but Tom made the whole process feel easy.”
A new chapter begins
Today, Anna is settled into her new home, surrounded by a community she feels part of and supported by a team that never lost sight of her individual needs.
Her journey is a reminder that home buying isn’t just about bricks and mortar, but it’s about empathy, understanding, and having the right people beside you when it matters most.
