First-time buyers should head to The Bridge

First-time buyers can purchase a brand new apartment from £79,998* under the Government's First-Time Buyer Initiative at The Bridge development in Dartford. The HomeBuy offer aims to help people get on the first rung of the property ladder by reducing their mortgage by up to 50%, but still own 100% of the property. The government contribution is interest-free for three years and then capped at a 3% interest rate.

One-bedroom ‘Chelsea' apartments are available under the scheme from £79,998 and feature a spacious living/dining room, an open-plan kitchen, a double bedroom and a well-proportioned bathroom. Outside there is allocated parking for each home, while selected apartments benefit from terraces or balconies.

Two-bedroom ‘Chelsea' and ‘Hampton' apartment designs start at £92,498 under the HomeBuy scheme.

Customers who feel they may qualify for the scheme are urged to find out fast as homes available through HomeBuy are limited.

Close to London, the River Thames and QEII Bridge, is part of the exciting Thames Gateway regeneration, offering sustainable living in an area supported by superb public transport, pedestrian and cycle links including a Fastrack bus service to Bluewater shopping centre and direct rail services to Central London and Europe.

Dartford is also home to two of the largest shopping centres in Europe, while a new primary school, business park, hotel and leisure facilities are being constructed along with the new homes.
