Move in at Mandale Park with a deposit of £4,100

A lucky buyer could move into a brand new two bedroom home at Mandale Park in Thornaby with a deposit of just £4,100, thanks to a helpful scheme offered by Barratt North East.

FirstBuy is designed to give first-time buyers a route to home ownership at the lowest possible cost and with the lowest possible deposit.

Under the scheme, buyers can be offered a loan of up to 20 per cent of the price of the property, jointly funded by Barratt and the Government’s Homes and Communities Agency.

FirstBuy brings the move-in price of a two bedroom ‘Ashford’ home at Mandale Park down from £102,500 to £82,000, leaving the buyer to arrange a mortgage for £77,900 and pay a deposit of £4,100.

The ‘Ashford’ is ideal for first-time buyers. This stylish semi-detached home from the housebuilder’s new Classic Range has an open-plan living and dining room, contemporary kitchen, cloakroom, two double bedrooms and bathroom.

Fenton Hewitt, Sales Director at Barratt North East, said: “FirstBuy offers a great opportunity to take the first step on the housing ladder.

“A lot of people are eligible – any household with a combined income of up to £60,000 qualifies – so I would urge anyone interested to contact us as soon as possible.”

More than 300 Barratt homes are now occupied at Mandale Park, which enjoys a convenient location with schools, shops and leisure amenities nearby, plus Thornaby’s new town centre and Teesside Retail Park. There are good bus services and the development is also within a few minutes’ drive of the A19.
