Hurry for a dream start at The Carrs

Barratt is offering first-time buyers a dream start at The Carrs in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, enabling them to buy a brand new home for only 75 per cent of the purchase price and move in for just £99. There's no deposit to find and Barratt will also include free carpets and kitchen appliances - plus a £500 Ikea voucher to help furnish your new home.

The special offer brings the move-in price of a 2-bedroom ‘Washington' house down to just £89,250, instead of £118,995.

‘Dream Start' means you pay only 75 per cent of the purchase price now - and take advantage of an interest-free loan on the other 25 per cent for up to ten years.

Barratt North East sales manager Steve Mariner said: "This can make a dramatic difference to the move in price of a new home, and paying only a 75 per cent mortgage also makes buying very affordable.

"It isn't shared ownership - it's your home, and you own 100 per cent of it from day one - but you only pay 75 per cent of the purchase price now. There's no interest or rent to pay on the remainder for up to ten years or until you sell the property, whichever is sooner.

"We can only offer it on selected plots on selected developments for a limited period. It's first come, first served, so I'd advise anyone interested to ask for details."

The stylish Washington is an ideal first home and features an open-plan living room with dining area and French doors leading out into the garden, fully-fitted kitchen complete with oven, hob and hood, and a cloakroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a bathroom.

The ongoing regeneration of Newbiggin-by-the-Sea is focusing interest on the town as a desirable place to live, with all the benefits of the Northumberland coast on your doorstep as well as convenient commuting links. The Carrs is around a ten-minute walk to the seafront and close to shops and local amenities.

Showhomes and the sales centre are open from 11.00am to 6.00pm, Friday to Tuesday. For further information, log on to Barratthomes.co.uk/thecarrs.
