Barratt helps first time buyers with head start

First time buyers in the region are being given a helping hand onto the housing ladder with a brand new initiative from Barratt - Head Start. Available for a limited period on apartments and houses, the deal is designed to make home ownership as affordable as possible for those looking to get onto the housing ladder.

Under Head Start first-time buyers secure a mortgage for 85 per cent of the total property price and Barratt finances the remaining 15 per cent for up to 10 years.

Barratt will also pay the five per cent deposit for first time buyers - a real bonus for those struggling to pay rent and save towards a new home.

Andrea Pilgrim from Barratt, said: "The affordability difficulties faced by first time buyers are still an ongoing issue and Barratt's Head Start scheme is tailored exclusively to help these people get on the property ladder."

She said that the initiative is already generating a vast amount of interest and Barratt is urging people to enquire straight away to avoid disappointment.

Developments where Head Start is available include The Zone in Bristol city centre and the Meadows in Siston Common.
