Something for everyone at Bath Court

There's something for everyone, from first-time buyers to families, at Barratt's stylish new Bath Court development in the town of Thornbury, near Bristol. "At Bath Court, we are working with English Partnerships on the First-Time Buyer Initiative Scheme, which aims to make more homes available to people priced out of the property market," reports Andrea Pilgrim, Barratt sales director.

"The scheme is part of the Government's low-cost home ownership initiative and allows key workers and other eligible groups to secure a mortgage for a minimum of 50 per cent of the full purchase price.

"In return, the government assists with the remaining per cent, which the buyer repays over time and when the property is sold. We currently have a selection of two-bedroom apartments available under the scheme, with prices starting from £169,995.

"Private buyers can purchase apartments through Barratt's Head Start initiative," Andrea continued. "This enables first-time buyers to secure a mortgage for 85 per cent of the total property price, with Barratt financing the remaining 15 per cent for up to 10 years.

"For those looking for a family home, we have just released a selection of four-bedroom town houses, which come with integral garages and a parking space. These lovely homes are priced from £269,995 and part exchange is available to buyers moving up to a larger property," Andrea concluded.

Thornbury is a picturesque market town with an abundant variety of shops, pubs, cafes, restaurants and schools. The area enjoys good transport links, with the M4/M5 interchange approximately six miles away and Bristol Parkway train station under nine miles away.
