First time buyer weekend at Church Fields

Potential home owners across Nottinghamshire may have been put off taking their first steps onto the property ladder during the current credit climate, but David Wilson East Midlands thinks now is the perfect time to buy and is holding a special first time buyer weekend at its Church Fields development in Kirkby-in-Ashfield this weekend, the 28th February and 1st March, to promote the fantastic deals it is currently offering.

Situated on Hornbeam Way, Church Fields is a superb development offering a wide range of two-, three-, four- and five- bedroom properties. The two- bedroom properties in particular are ideal for first time buyers, and with the housebuilder’s Head Start scheme, home ownership can become a reality for an unbelievable £84,995.

Philip Lacey, Sales Director for David Wilson says “The aim of the first time buyer weekend is to demonstrate that despite all the doom and gloom surrounding the current housing market, now is in fact an ideal time to buy.

“We have a number of initiatives designed specifically for first time buyers including Head Start which is a tailor made package that requires purchasers to initially pay just 85 per cent of the price and with this scheme home ownership could prove cheaper than renting.

“We have a range of other deals aside from Head Start including the new Government Home Buy Direct scheme, shared equity, deposit paid or stamp duty paid and a representative from Mortgage Talk will be on hand to offer guidance and advice to any prospective purchasers.

“The two- bedroom properties at Church Fields are fantastic starter homes, so if you’re looking to get your foot on the property ladder in Nottingham, come down to Church Fields this weekend to see how we can help you make your dream of home ownership a reality.”

Head Start is not a shared ownership scheme; homebuyers own 100 per cent of the property from day one. There is no rent or interest to pay on the deferred amount, it is simply paid back as 15 per cent of the property’s open market value at any time up to the point of resale or within ten years, whichever is sooner.

Prices for a one- bedroom home at the development start from £99,995, therefore prices with Head Start, start from £84,995.
