Final two homes on sale at Watton development

With only two properties now remaining at Orbit First Step’s development of brand new affordable homes at Blenheim Grange in Watton, those interested in purchasing one are urged to act quickly.

The attractive two-bedroom houses are available under the New Build HomeBuy scheme which enables people to purchase a share of the property. Most purchasers will need to raise a mortgage to purchase their share and then pay a discounted rent on the remaining share and, with a 25 per cent minimum share for only £24,500, the properties represent a fantastic opportunity for buyers struggling to get on the property ladder. Buyers can also purchase additional shares in the future, if they wish, until they own the property outright – just as they would if purchasing through conventional means.

If that’s not enough, the houses – built by Taylor Wimpey – are carpeted, and include gas central heating and double glazing; a fitted kitchen with hob, oven and hood; an allocated parking space and a timber shed.

Karen Coleman, Orbit First Step’s Sales and Marketing Manager, said: “Many people don’t realise that they are eligible for our properties when, in fact, they could benefit from the schemes we have on offer. While we help lots of Key Workers and first time buyers, we can also help people in all kinds of situations, including those who find themselves in need of a new home following a relationship breakdown.”

She added: “This development has been incredibly popular, with most of the properties snapped up quickly by buyers who have recognised that they are getting an incredible deal on a great new home. We don’t anticipate that the remaining two will be available for long so if you have been looking to buy your own home, but have so far been unable to do so, either because of high property prices or difficulties securing a mortgage, then please get in touch with us. Our friendly team of staff can tell you if you are eligible and answer any other queries you may have.”

In addition to the two properties for sale at Watton, Orbit First Step is also promoting affordable properties at other locations within Norwich and, as the HomeBuy Agent for Norfolk and Suffolk, it also acts as a one-stop shop promoting a wide range properties and schemes from all registered social landlords in the region.
