Love is in the air for first time buyers

Two first time buyers from East Leake are celebrating after finding romance as well as their dream first homes at David Wilson East Midlands’ Old Hall Gardens development in the village.

New home owners Hollie Ward and Kris Haynes are both from the quaint Nottinghamshire village and even went to school together, but it was not until they both made the move into home ownership at Old Hall Gardens that the two became an item.

Air hostess Hollie decided that the time had come for her to spread her wings and move out of her parent’s home into a place of her own. Not put off by the negative press surrounding the current housing market, Hollie was able to buy a two- bedroom apartment at the development thanks to a substantial cash discount and deposit paid scheme.

Hollie says “I wanted to stay in the East Leake area to be close to my parents and East Midlands Airport for work but obviously being a first time buyer I had a limited budget. I didn’t think I would be able to afford to buy a brand new property but David Wilson offered to pay my five per cent deposit and even gave me a cash discount which helped make my dream of home ownership a reality.”

Like Hollie, Firefighter Kris longed for independence and a place to call his own but he wanted to stay within East Leake to be close to his Mum. He found the perfect two- bedroom apartment at the development on Station Road.

Kris says “Although I enjoyed living with my Mum I felt at 25 years old the time had come for me to get a foot on the property ladder and move into my own place of my own. David Wilson offered to pay my five per cent deposit and I had free carpets and vinyls which made the moving process even easier.”

Hollie and Kris moved into their respective new apartments within a month of each other and after bumping into each other on the stairs on a number of occasions, Kris decided to bite the bullet and ask Hollie out. She said yes and the happy couple have not looked back since.

Hollie says “I was really chuffed when Kris asked me out and I didn’t hesitate in saying yes and the fact that we live in the same development makes things a lot easier to see each other.”

Kris concludes “I never imagined that I would find my dream girl as well as my dream home at Old Hall Gardens. Our relationship is going from strength to strength and I look forward to spending more time together as a couple.”

Philip Lacey, Sales Director for David Wilson says “The apartments at Old Hall Gardens are perfect for first time buyers and they have proved a popular option for many purchasers looking to take their first steps onto the property ladder.

“Despite the current doom and gloom surrounding the current housing market, now is actual is a fantastic time to buy, especially if you’re a first time buyer like Hollie and Kris as we have a range of superb deals including five per cent deposit or stamp duty paid, shared equity deals or straight forward cash discounts.

“So if you’re thinking of making the dream of home ownership a reality, why not come and speak to one of our experienced sales negotiators to see if how we can help you?”

Situated on Station Road in the pleasant village of East Leake, Old Hall Gardens has witnessed fantastic sales success and just two four- bedroom houses remain unsold.

The two remaining homes are in the style of a Cadeby and both are priced at £274,995.
