A helping hand for first time buyers in Epsom

Struggling first time buyers in Epsom may find that their dream of home-ownership is closer than they think as house builder Orbit Homes prepares to launch their latest development ‘Fusion’ this weekend.

Forming part of the Epsom Station regeneration, a selection of one, two and three bedroom apartments will be available with HomeBuy Shared Ownership, a scheme which aims to make buying a new home easier and more affordable. With HomeBuy Shared Ownership, buyers purchase a share in a brand new home which is tailored to suit them and pay a subsidised rent on the part they don’t own, in the future extra shares can be purchased until the home is owned outright.

"HomeBuy Shared Ownership is a great opportunity for those who are struggling to get on the property ladder." Said Clare Jones, Regional Sales and Marketing Consultant at Orbit Homes.

"By purchasing a share in a new home the mortgage and deposit requirements of buying with HomeBuy Shared Ownership are far less than those that would be needed if the same home were purchased on the open market. Furthermore, not only are the initial costs of buying less but the monthly costs of shared ownership usually work out less than renting a similar property privately too!"

New homes at Fusion are built to a high specification which includes a contemporary fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a modern bathroom with white suite, energy efficient central heating and fitted carpets throughout.

Located on Station Approach in the very heart of Epsom, Fusion is conveniently located for residents to access all the amenities that Epsom has to offer including a wide variety of eateries, bars, cafes and shops.

Interested buyers can take a first look at the brand new one-bedroom show home by coming along to the Fusion open day which takes place on Saturday 24th November between 10am and 3pm.

"With prices at Fusion starting at just £83,250 for a 45% share of a one-bedroom apartment we expect the development to prove very popular with local buyers," Said Clare. "Appointments at the open day are filling up quickly so I would urge anyone interested to contact us as soon as possible to book their place."

Viewings at the open day are strictly by appointment only, so to book your place email homes[at]orbit.org.uk.
