Don't wait to buy your home in Britain's upcoming cultural city

24th April 2014 Print
Fox’s Fold

Own your perfect home now and enjoy the vibrant attractions of Hull, right on your doorstep.

Hull is Britain’s latest city to have won the coveted UK City of Culture title, which will begin in 2017 and follows the 2013 City of Culture, Londonderry, in a programme inspired by Liverpool’s time as European Capital of Culture in 2008.

With a new injection of modernisation into the metropolitan, locals will see an improvement in amenities such as hotels, restaurants and leisure facilities along with national and international events taking place. Residents and visitors can also make use of Hull’s leading attractions including The Hull Truck Theatre Company, Maritime Museum and the Ferens art gallery with its innovative children’s gallery.

With so much to look forward to there is no better time to snap up a property in or close to this evolving city. With the help of Redrow and its latest Heritage Collection homes just a short distance away, there really is no time to waste.

Developments like Holtby Gardens, in Cottingham – a popular village just 10 minutes from Hull by train – and Fox’s Fold, in Barton-upon-Humber, a short drive across the Humber Bridge, are ideally set in sought-after residential areas and have been designed with the modern buyer in mind.

Homes at each have the traditional looking exteriors and period style features that many people crave, but inside they are bright and spacious and boast fully integrated kitchens with top brand name appliances and en-suite bathrooms with tailored fixtures and fittings.

Pasty Aicken, sales director for Redrow Homes (Yorkshire) said: “It’s an exciting time for Redrow in the Hull area. The city is being regenerated and is bursting full of life. Our latest homes at Fox’s Fold and Holtby Gardens offer the tranquil surroundings which are perfect to come back to after a busy day in the city. With easy transport links and only a short drive from both developments there is no better choice in the Hull area than a Redrow home.”

Redrow can also make owning a brand new home easier to afford through Help to Buy, which is available both to first time buyers looking to make their first step onto the property ladder and existing home owners who’ve sold subject to contract and are looking to buy a bigger, better home. Help to Buy offers a 20% government equity loan towards the price of the new home, that’s interest free for five years, and purchasers should only need a 75% mortgage and deposit of 5%.

For those with an existing property still to sell, Redrow’s Mastermove option can provide a swift and hassle free solution without the additional estate agent fees. Valuations are carried out on the customer’s current property to agree a sale price and Redrow works with local and online estate agents to market the property until it is sold. A refundable deposit of £50 is required to begin the process and will be given back upon completion.

With homes to suit every need and budget and the benefits of living so close to Britain’s upcoming cultural city, there is no better time to purchase your new home.

Showhomes at Fox’s Fold are open for viewing Thursday – Monday inclusive, 10am to 5.30pm. Three and four-bedroom homes are currently available from £152,950, with some smaller two-bed properties to follow.

Holtby Gardens’ showhomes are open for viewing daily from 10am to 5.30pm.
