Location attracts buyers to Hazel Grove

Buyers keen to live in the Bristol suburb of Henbury with easy access to the city centre, have been visiting Barratt's Hazel Grove development. "Hazel Grove has been a very successful development," reports Barratt sales director Andrea Pilgrim.

"It offers the perfect home base as it backs onto school playing fields and Henbury boasts a range of amenities.

"These include three golf courses, a leisure centre, a high quality hotel and a selection of pubs and restaurants. Also, the Cribbs Causeway shopping mall is only three miles away and Bristol city centre is just five miles away."

Hazel Grove offers a selection of apartments and houses. Current availability includes the three-bedroom Maidstone semi-detached house, priced from £189,995, and the three-bedroom Essex, priced from £199,995.

"First-time buyers can take advantage of our Dream Start offer," Andrea continued. "They only need to secure a mortgage for 75 per cent of the asking price and there is no deposit."

The Dream Start scheme works by arranging mortgage finance on 75 per cent of the purchase price while the other 25 per cent is covered by Barratt and repayable interest free, either within 10 years or on the resale of the property.

"Part exchange is available to people moving up to a larger home," she added. "We know that people who want to move to a larger house may be put off by the credit crunch, but part exchange removes all the uncertainty.

"Barratt is a guaranteed cash buyer - so there is no chain, no last-minute price haggling and no hidden costs,'' she concluded.

Hazel Grove offers the ideal location for commuters. It is close to Bristol city centre and to the M4/M5 interchange. Bristol Parkway train station provides direct services to London and Birmingham.
