Barratt gives buyers a helping hand with furniture package

Barratt is helping first time buyers settle into their new homes at The Zone in Bristol with a free furniture package. And the deal was launched in style at the development over the weekend when potential buyers could find out about tailor made packages for first time buyers, including the availability of homes under the First Time Buyers Initiative - a government-backed scheme to make home ownership a reality for those who might otherwise not be able to afford to buy.

Andrea Pilgrim from Barratt said that first time buyers just need to select their plot and bring a toothbrush!

"We know that first time buyers have so much to think about when buying a new home and the furniture package is really going down well,'' said Andrea.

"We have a number of schemes to help first time buyers get onto the housing ladder and because so many have been living with parents or renting furnished accommodation they have no furniture so they love moving into a new home with brand new items.''

The furniture package, which also available to investors, includes sofas, dining table and chairs together with beds and bedside tables.

At the Zone, Barratt is creating an award winning development of city centre homes.

The Temple Quarter development recently picked up a Your New Homes award and the fourth phase of development includes a range of citipads, one, two and three bedroom apartments.

Prices currently start at £128,000 and current availability includes the citipads, a studio apartment with quality fitted kitchen, living/sleeping area and a shower room.

The development also boasts its own residents only-gym, popular car club and innovative home zones to create communities within the development.

Once complete, The Zone will have 407 units - a mix of citi-pads, apartments and townhouses and its location close to shopping, transport and leisure facilities is proving perfect for first time buyers, young professionals and investors.

The Zone is part of the massive brownfield redevelopment of Temple Quarter with Barratt setting new standards in terms of design, specification and modern living environments.
