Peace of mind for buyers in Essex and Suffolk

Whatever surprises life may have in store, buyers at Barratt Eastern Counties’ developments in Essex and Suffolk can relax in the knowledge that their mortgage repayments are protected for up to three years, thanks to a new offer from Barratt Homes which means purchasers can choose to have free insurance with their new home.

Barratt is paying the first year’s premium to insure buyers against being unable to make their mortgage payments through no fault of their own.

“It’s great to have a little extra peace of mind when you’re moving into a new home,” said Rebecca Littler, Sales Director at Barratt Eastern Counties.

“Whether it’s illness, injury, redundancy or something else unexpected, this policy will ensure that monthly mortgage repayments are covered in full for up to three years. It’s a welcome element of reassurance in these uncertain times.”

The free insurance applies to standard protection policies taken out by homebuyers as a requirement of their mortgage offer. Customers will have no monthly premiums to pay for the first year and the cover – should it be needed – will meet the whole of each month’s mortgage repayments for up to three years. Buyers may still be eligible for other assistance packages from Barratt.
