Buyers told to ‘Get Moving’ in Chorleywood

Homebuyers will have to move fast in order to secure one of the four remaining properties at Kebbell Homes' Betjeman Gardens development in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire, which are now available with a choice of four fantastic incentives.

Betjeman Gardens, named after the 20th century poet, Sir John Betjeman who wrote about the peaceful, lush Chess Valley at Chorleywood and the arrival of the railway line in 1889, is located in and on the grounds of the former, landmark Sportsman hotel, which sits in an elevated position above the train station.

Of the 22 homes built here, only four are now available for sale; three two-bedroom apartments and one three-bedroom, duplex apartment. The three-bedroom home forms part of the sympathetically refurbished Edwardian hotel building, while the other three are located within the two stylish new buildings, constructed in the grounds.

The incentives available to enable prospective purchasers to make one of these unique homes their own are part of Kebbell Homes' ‘Get Moving' campaign. Gin Roaf, Sales and Marketing Director at Kebbell Homes said, "‘Get Moving' has been designed to provide a solution for practically all homebuyers' concerns, especially during this period of financial uncertainty."

The offers are:

* 1. 3% Mortgage Subsidy

Buyers who take advantage of this option will receive a cheque every month for 24 months, following financial completion, for a sum which represents the difference in the interest between 3% and the rate the buyer is paying on the mortgage for their new home, giving them the peace of mind and a helping hand for the first two years of ownership.

* 2. Part-Exchange Scheme

Part-exchange takes away the stress of finding a buyer for a purchaser's existing property and provides a fair and hassle-free solution to moving home. Kebbell Homes obtains an independent valuation on the property and subject to this figure not exceeding 75% of the price of the new Kebbell home Kebbell makes an offer equal to the valuation less 5%. As part of the Get Moving Campaign, Kebbell Homes are now prepared to make an offer equal to 100% of valuation, and so there is literally nothing to lose!

Once terms have been agreed the sale is guaranteed, so there is no chain to worry about and the exchange usually takes place within six weeks. Gin said, "Of all the schemes to provide assistance to our purchasers the part-exchange has, over the years, consistently proved to be the favourite."

* 3. 80/20 Assisted Purchase Plan

The Assisted purchase plans allows people to buy 100% of the property for just 80% of the price. The remaining 20% is deferred and repaid when the property is sold again in due course. Gin said, "This wonderful scheme enables you to live in style in a brand new Kebbell Home of your choice and it may even mean that there is the opportunity to furnish your home to a standard never before imagined."

* 4. Two Year Price Protection Guarantee

This option may be the preferred choice for buyers wanting peace of mind that the value of the property is secure. If a purchaser wishes to sell his/her property within the first two years of ownership and if after at least four months exposure on the open market, it fails to achieve at least the net price paid on purchase, Kebbell Homes will make up the difference.

Gin explained, "We always endeavour to develop high quality new homes which mature over the years and enhance in value. Therefore with our Price Protection Guarantee, homebuyers can have confidence in their investment and know for sure that the value of their property is secure."

Betjeman Gardens is situated on Station Road in Chorleywood. An array of local shops is close by and the M25 is just one mile away. In addition, Chorleywood common, a 200 acre site of woodland and grassland can be reach within a few minutes on foot.

Prices for the four remaining homes range from £499,950 to £530,000 or from £399,960 to £424,000 with the 80/20 scheme. For further details of the ‘Get Moving' options log on to kebbell.co.uk.
