New homes for under £70k at Great Easthall

Househunters can now buy a brand new home for less than £70,000* at Bryant’s Great Easthall development in Sittingbourne.

The Government’s HomeBuy Direct initiative is in operation at the popular location – especially for first-time buyers and previous owners who are struggling to finance a new home – making a wide choice of two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom houses available at a fraction of the full price.

HomeBuy Direct allows qualifying customers with a household income of £60,000 or less to receive an equity loan covering up to 30% of the value of these properties.

Tina Westlake, Sales Manager for Bryant Homes South East, explains: “Our homes are already available at affordable prices to everyone, but we also understand that some buyers need assistance – particularly many first-time buyers who are being asked to raise substantial deposits to secure a mortgage.

“HomeBuy Direct means those who qualify for a mortgage of £70,000 can buy a brand new two-bedroom apartment at Great Easthall which, for first-time buyers, means getting an all-important foot on the property ladder at a time when prices are expected to steadily rise.

“Other buyers who can afford slightly larger mortgages could own a three-bedroom house, which represents fantastic value.”

A limited number of two and three-bedroom homes at Great Easthall are available using HomeBuy Direct, which is co-funded by the Homes and Communities Agency and Bryant Homes.

Just one of the properties available is the two-bedroom ‘Tilbrook’ apartment, priced from £99,995 and available to those who can secure a mortgage of £69,996.

This ideal first home features a master bedroom with ensuite, open-plan kitchen and reception room, a second bedroom and family bathroom.

Like all new homes at Great Easthall, the ‘Tilbrook’ enjoys a high standard specification including gas central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

The HomeBuy Direct equity loan is interest-free for the first five years, while buyers are also able to pay off the equity loan in instalments at any stage after the first 12 months. Full details on interest and repayments, and terms and conditions, are available by speaking to the Homes Consultant at the development.

Great Easthall enjoys an excellent position in the lively market town of Sittingbourne, home to a good selection of major high street stores, pubs and restaurants to suit all tastes and nearby Faversham, Maidstone and the Medway towns of Chatham, Gillingham and Rochester widening the choice of shopping, sporting and leisure attractions.

The area is home to a good choice of schools, while commuters will appreciate easy access to the A2, the M2 and M20 and regular services from Sittingbourne station – just a short walk away – to both London Victoria and Gatwick airport.
