Trainee surveyor spots ideal first time buy from Barratt

Trainee surveyor, Katie Stammers, knows how to spot a perfect property. Her ideal first time buy is a two bed Washington at Barratt's Riverside Walk development at Newark. She is the first new resident to move in - and is now the proud owner of a new Washington starter home - thanks to Barratt's generous help for first time buyers.

Katie took advantage of Barratt's Headstart scheme - where buyers can move in to their new home for just 80 per cent of the purchase price. The remaining 20 per cent is payable over ten years - or whenever the house is sold.

Katie said: "The Barratt scheme made all the difference in being able to have my own home. The Washington is fantastic and is perfect for a first time buyer like me. It is such good value for money. The location is great as well. It is within easy reach of the town centre, the East Coast Main Line station is nearby and there is easy access to the A1."

Riverside Walk's sales negotiator, Kim Harley said: "We are delighted to welcome Katie as our first new resident.

"Barratt specialises in giving first time buyers maximum help and Katie has benefitted from our unrivalled Headstart scheme.

"The two bed Washington is the ideal property for first time buyers – they are selling fast and there are only handful left.

"Smart buyers like Katie know a good deal when they see one and a quick to snap them up."

Prices for the Washington start at just £129,995.
