When it comes to moving house – we all have a checklist of key points; affordability, style, quality and location among them.

For a tick in all these boxes and more, look no further than Linden Homes’ Orchid development in the heart of sought-after Rutland.

Perfectly positioned close to the bustling town centre, time is running out to snap up a brand new apartment in Oakham – where the last few remain for sale.

Whether you are searching for a chic and stylish low maintenance home, looking for a popular area to retire to, or thinking about moving to a place of your own – the versatility of the apartments suits a host of living requirements.

With excellent schools, a busy and thriving town centre, local amenities and major centres like Stamford and Grantham relatively close by – all these make for a great location in which to work rest and play … whether dropping the children off during the school run, meeting up with friends for coffee or commuting to work.

Just two two-bedroom apartments are left for sale on the current phase – priced £124,950 – which complement the popular development’s range of family homes.

Meanwhile, only a handful of three and four bedroom homes remain at Orchid. And Linden Homes can make your move even smoother thanks to a number of incentives.

These include:

Help to Buy – available on new build homes, with customers requiring a minimum five per cent deposit. The government will lend you up to 20 per cent of the value of your property through an equity loan, which can be repaid at any time or on the sale of your home. Buyers will only need to secure up to a 75 per cent mortgage from a bank or building society. The maximum home purchase is £600,000.

Also requiring just a five per cent deposit is NewBuy - aimed at bridging the gap for people who have previously been unable to buy their first home or move house.

Linden Homes will work in partnership with major high street to help you buy your new home with just a five per cent deposit and secure a 95 per cent fixed rate mortgage. The scheme is available on apartments and houses up to £500,000.

Part exchange - Linden Homes will arrange for at least two independent valuations of your existing home and will make you an offer based on their suggestions. Once you agree the offer, and subject to satisfactory surveys, Linden Homes becomes your buyer, freeing you up to put in reservation on your new home. After that, it's a case of setting a moving-in date, boxing up your things, and basking in the relief of a quick chain-free move to the home of your dreams. You can stay in your existing home until your new one is ready.

The sales and marketing suite and show home are open from Thursday to Monday from 10.30am until 5pm. Alternatively, visit lindenhomes.co.uk.
