Picture yourself living in your first home

Choosing your first home is an exciting time and thanks to Redrow it’s now even easier.

FirstBuy is available on new homes at Bletchley Park, near Milton Keynes, helping to cut the initial cost of setting up home by a fifth with the help of an equity loan.

And with a new view home now open, buyers can picture themselves living in the style and comfort of a brand new Redrow home.

Tonia Tyler, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Midlands) commented: “Being able to view a property is an important part of the home buying process, particularly if you’re a first time buyer. So with that in mind we’ve opened the doors to a finished example of the two-bedroom Burcote at Bletchley Park.

“We’ve chosen kitchen and bathroom finishes so that visitors can appreciate the quality and attention to detail, as well as seeing all that’s included in our standard specification, such as oven, hob, microwave, and fridge freezer. We’ve also laid the carpet and flooring throughout, plus we’ve added light fittings and curtains to make it feel homely. Because we haven’t furnished it, potential purchasers can appreciate the space available and imagine how their own belongings would look if it was their home.”

The Burcote features an open plan lounge and dining room with patio doors leading out to the garden and offering lots of natural light. There’s also a separate kitchen, laundry room and downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs there are two generous sized bedrooms and a bathroom complete with quality fixtures and fittings. A Juliet balcony with inward opening French doors to the front bedroom makes an attractive feature.

The Burcote is available from £174,950 on the open market or an initial outlay of only £139,960 with FirstBuy.

The valuable help enables eligible purchasers to take out a 20% equity loan, interest free for five years. It means they may only need a deposit of 4%, which works out at around £7,000 for the Burcote, and a 76% loan to value (LTV) mortgage to get onto the property ladder.

Tucked away in the quiet town of Bletchley, on the edge of Milton Keynes, residents of Bletchley Park will be able to enjoy woodland walks and nature trails close to home. With trains from the nearby station reaching London in just 45 minutes, it’s an ideal base for commuters.
