Final homes

East Gate Villas is in its closing phase. Remaining inventory is finished or near-finished stock rather than build-to-order, so the choice is what is standing, and the timeline is short. A completed home also means the assessment date question is already settled — see the guide on second-year bills.

Buying in Willis
