Step onto the housing ladder at Bellway’s new Southgate Park development

For many people, 2018 will be the year they step onto the housing ladder. With interest rates low and with the abolition of Stamp Duty on properties valued up to £300,000 coupled with incentives such as the Help to Buy scheme the omens are in favour of buying.

One location that is sure to appeal to a range of buyers including those looking to invest is Bellway’s new Southgate Park development in Killingworth where prices start from £137,495 and buyers can select from a range of terraced and semi-detached homes.

Positioned within close proximity to a range of local amenities including shopping facilities at Killingworth Centre as well as highly regraded schools including Westmoor Primary School for younger children, and for older children, George Stephenson High School.

Sales Advisor, Julie Armstrong, said: “Since opening late last year we have been very busy and I have quite a number of people moving in during January. Visitors can now view our Cherry showhome which has just opened to get a real feel for the living standards on offer at Southgate Park.

“Buyers can also take advantage of the Help to Buy scheme which means they only require a five percent deposit and can then benefit from a five year twenty percent interest free Government loan. This reduces the mortgage requirement to seventy five percent and reduces monthly mortgage repayments, it’s a real win win.”

For more mature buyers with a home to sell, Bellway can offer their free of charge Express Mover package, where Bellway will work with you by appointing an estate agent on your behalf who will focus upon achieving a quick and satisfactory sale leaving you to concentrate on your new home.
