‘Made to Measure’ scheme puts buyers in the driving seat

Recognising the fact that each buyer is different Persimmon Homes South Coast has come up with its ‘Made to Measure’ service designed to put the buyer in the driving seat. With cheap credit now a thing of the past, the housebuilder believes its latest scheme will encourage househunters to commit to a purchase. The principle of ‘Made to Measure’ is simple. Having found their perfect Persimmon property, the buyer proceeds to purchase it on terms that most suit them by choosing from a whole range of Persimmon’s incentives.

And whilst deals have always been made in the new home sector, buyers have often been limited to just a handful of options. However, ‘Made to Measure’ lets the purchaser specify how they would like to buy their chosen property and Persimmon finds the best deal for them.

And so, a buyer suffering from a shortage of cash can have their deposit or stamp duty paid, or even receive a substantial contribution towards legal fees.

First time buyers, who tend to have little in savings, can be assisted further by moving in for just £99 with the housebuilder covering nearly the entire immediate cost of a house purchase.

And if a buyer cannot afford a mortgage on their dream property, Persimmon will offer them a shared equity scheme that lets them buy an apartment for just 75 per cent of its market price or a house for just 85 per cent.

Rob Allen, sales director at Persimmon Homes South Coast: “We are now operating in a challenging housing market and the credit crunch is putting some househunters off but we advise anyone considering a move to come to us before dismissing the idea of buying.

“Not only can we help levy immediate purchasing costs but we can also suggest schemes that may simply not be an option when buying a second hand home. It is a buyer’s market and we are here to help,” he adds.

Persimmon Homes has a total of XX incentives to choose from at its developments in Amesbury, Blandford Forum, Basingstoke, Bognor Regis, Collingbourne Ducis, Lee on the Solent, Portsmouth, Petworth, Salisbury, Shaftesbury, Whiteley and Verwood.

So, if a new home is on you mind, let Persimmon find you a way to buy it. For more information, visit Persimmonhomes.com.
