The perfect time for first time buyers in Nottinghamshire

House prices are at their lowest for years and with some fantastic deals exclusively available to first time buyers, there has never been a better time to get a foot on the property ladder so David Wilson East Midlands is holding special events throughout Nottinghamshire to help advise potential homeowners how to bite the bullet.

The first time buyer events are being held at Church Fields in Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Birkin Fields in Beeston this weekend, the 28th and 29th March, where Independent Financial Advisors will be on hand to explain how David Wilson can best help you make the move into home ownership.

Situated on Hornbeam Way, Church Fields offers a charming selection of two-, three- and four- bedroom homes. The two- bedroom properties in particular make perfect starter homes and with prices starting from £99,995, they provide an unmissable opportunity to get a foot on the ladder.

Birkin Fields can be found on Queens Road and comprises a selection of two- and three- bedroom homes in a pleasant semi-rural location. Prices here start from £119,995 for a two- bedroom apartment.

In addition to these unbelievably affordable prices, the housebuilder is offering a range of initiatives designed exclusively for first time buyers which aim to make the home buying process as affordable as possible.

One of the schemes buyers can take advantage of is Head Start which is a shared equity deal that requires purchasers to initially buy a property for just 85 per cent of the purchase price. The remaining 15 per cent is funded by David Wilson with is payable either in 10 years time or when the property sells, whichever is sooner.

Purchasers at these developments may also be eligible for Home Buy Direct which is the latest government initiative that aims to help those who may have been priced out of the housing market get a foot on the ladder.

Philip Lacey, Sales Director at David Wilson comments “Prospective home owners are being encouraged to come along to our first time buyer weekend to find out how we can help you make the move into home ownership.

“Despite all the doom and gloom surrounding the economy, now is in fact an ideal time to buy property as prices are at their lowest for years and at Church Fields, home ownership can become a reality for well under £100,000.

“As well as these fantastic prices, purchasers can take advantage of one of the great deals we’re currently offering including Head Start, the new Government Home Buy Direct scheme, shared equity, deposit paid or stamp duty paid which all aim to make the moving process as affordable as possible and there will be a representative from Mortgage Talk on hand to offer guidance on which deal is best for you.

“So if you’re looking to get a foot on the ladder in Nottinghamshire, come along to our first time buyer events this weekend to see how we can help make that dream a reality.”
