Flippin’ great deals from Persimmon

Many people around the country will no doubt be dusting off their frying pans in anticipation of Pancake Day, on 24th February, which marks the start of lent - typically where people give up one guilty pleasure for 40 days.

Something people shouldn’t give up on, however, is the dream of buying a new home, as Persimmon Homes North West is going ‘flat out’ to help house hunters find their dream property.

The leading housebuilder has a range of properties currently on offer to suit all needs including one and two bedroom apartments and two to five bedroom homes in mews, semi-detached, detached and townhouse designs. Whether you’re a first time buyer, couple, family or looking to downsize, with such a large variety available, Persimmon Homes is sure to find the home for you.

Claire Jarvis, sales manager for Persimmon Homes North West, comments: “At Persimmon we believe in building new communities, not just new homes, and by offering a selection of homes we are confident we will attract a cross section of buyers, which will sustain these new communities for generations to come.”

Persimmon recognises that buying a home can sometimes be a daunting experience however, purchasers should not despair, as the house builder has a range of incentives currently available to ease some of the financial burden, making buying a new home an affordable and viable option.

Persimmon’s ‘no deposit’ incentive, available on apartments, does exactly what it says on the tin – if you haven’t got a deposit for a new home, but desperately want to move there’s no need to worry – all you’ll have to pay is a visit to the development of your choice and let Persimmon solve the deposit problem for you.

With ‘no deposit’, buyers pay 75 per cent of the value of the apartment and the remaining percentage, which acts as the deposit, is not payable for ten years or until the home is re-sold - whichever comes first. There is not even any interest or monthly charges to pay on the outstanding balance.

Ideal for those on lower incomes and for the growing number of people wanting to buy on their own, Persimmon’s ‘no deposit’ scheme is an ideal option for many buyers as it means they are able to purchase without having the cost of the whole mortgage, with no fees or monthly rental to pay on the remaining percentage. As the mortgage taken out is only for 75 per cent of the value of the property, there is saving on the mortgage interest rate that is paid.

Alternatively, the part exchange deal is perfect for those buyers who need to sell their old property, as Persimmon will buy their house from them. This will eliminate what may be a lengthy chain, leaving buyers free to purchase their dream home.

Claire concludes: “Homes are more affordable than ever, due to the reduction in house prices and mortgage interest rates. Add to this the fantastic incentives that are currently on offer from Persimmon, including no deposit and part exchange and it proves that now really couldn’t be a better time to purchase.

“I encourage house hunters not to give up on their dream of owning a brand new home and instead suggest they visit us at one of our developments, where they will be spoilt for choice.”

Persimmon Homes is currently building new communities in Baguley, Billinge, Bury, Didsbury, Ellesmere Port, Helsby, Irlam, Leigh, Lostock, Newcastle under Lyme, Openshaw, Shrewsbury, Spinningfields, Stafford, Stalybridge, Warrington, Wigan and Winstanley.
