Help on the property ladder at Boards

To help first time buyers get on the property ladder, Midas Homes has teamed up with Swaythling Housing Society to offer the government-funded scheme ‘My Choice HomeBuy' at its Boards development in East-the-Water, Bideford.

My Choice HomeBuy is available to first time buyers, and others who need assistance moving, with a combined income of less than £60,000 per year. Customers will receive a loan of 15-50% of the purchase price of their chosen Midas home, paying back just 1.5% interest per year. And, no deposit is necessary!

Andy Addison, Midas Homes' Sales and Marketing Director said: "This scheme is going to really help those people who thought a brand new home was out of their reach. The great thing about buying a new home is that everything has already been done for you; there's no need to decorate or modernise the kitchen and bathroom - the home is ready for you to move straight into."

Tim Willcocks from Swaythling Housing Society said: "It is a fantastic government-funded scheme designed to help first time buyers and others who will be able to redeem part of the equity loan at any time after one year of owning the home. We're really pleased to be working with Midas Homes on such an exciting project."

An open day at Boards on Saturday 4th October, 11am to 5pm, will enable visitors to find out more about My Choice HomeBuy and have a look around the development's stunning show home. Boards offers a range of new two and three bedroom homes priced from £151,950. The properties have been thoughtfully designed to compliment the character of the town and have been built to a high specification.

Andy added: "With My Choice HomeBuy, you could buy a two bedroom coach house at Boards and only need an initial mortgage of £75,975!"
