View home gives first time buyers insight into Torquay living

Barratt is giving first time buyers in Torquay an insight into living at its Torre Marine development with the opening of a brand new view apartment.

The two bedroom Essington apartment showcases the style and quality on offer at the development and sales director Caroline Hill said the home, priced at £136,500 is available to first time buyers under the FirstBuy scheme.

However funds are now running out under the Government-backed FirstBuy scheme which is specifically designed to help first time buyers take their first step onto the property ladder.

Caroline said it has proved hugely popular with buyers at the Torre Marine development and anyone buying the new Essington can take advantage of the scheme.

FirsBuy offers loans of up to 20 per cent of the price of the property, jointly funded by Barratt and the Government’s Homes and Communities Agency.

Buyers then have to find the remaining 80 per cent of the price themselves made up of the mortgage and deposit.

“There is still time, for those looking to get onto the property ladder, to take full advantage of FirstBuy but those interested must act quickly as the funding has almost gone,’’ said Caroline.

At Torre Marine buyers will find a development stuated in a prime location in Torquay – far enough away from the tourist traps to offer peace and quiet – the development is just a 15 minute walk to the beach, marine and town centre.

With a location close to the railway station at Torre, the development provides excellent transport links. Torre Marine is the perfect target for anyone aspiring to clinch an enviable coastal lifestyle.

Torre Marine is located near the A385 and A38 - offering easy access to the maritime city of Plymouth and the cathedral city of Exeter.
