First time buyer opportunities in Kent

Bryant Homes’ commitment to make home-ownership easier than ever has proved a sell-out success at one of its popular new developments in Kent.

The groundbreaking HomeBuy Direct financial assistance scheme allowed customers to secure a new home at Queen’s Square, in Maidstone, with mortgages of less than £91,000*.

The chance to purchase high-quality homes at such a popular location proved irresistible for first-time buyers – and the two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom houses that were available under the initiative are currently sold out.

But those still hoping to take advantage of the generous scheme need not miss out, because Bryant is now offering homes for just £70,000* at its Great Easthall development in nearby Sittingbourne.

Paula Carter, Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey South East, says: “The HomeBuy Direct scheme has proved a tremendous success at Queen’s Square and we’re delighted to have helped so many first-time buyers take their first steps on to the property ladder.

“Now we’re giving people the chance to take advantage of this fantastic initiative at our Great Easthall development in Sittingbourne, where stylish two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom houses represent incredible value for money.”

The HomeBuy Direct scheme, which is co-funded by Bryant Homes and the Homes and Communities Agency, allows qualifying customers with a household income of £60,000 or less to receive an equity loan worth up to 30% of the value of the properties available.

The loan is interest free for the first five years, and buyers are able to pay it off in instalments at any stage after the first 12 months.

A limited number of two and three-bedroom properties are available under the initiative at Great Easthall, including the two-bedroom ‘Atkins’ apartment – priced from £99,995 and available to qualifying customers with a mortgage of just £70,000.

Ideal as a first home, the apartment boasts a master bedroom complete with en-suite, a spacious open-plan kitchen and reception room, a second bedroom and a main bathroom.

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

Great Easthall is located in an excellent position in the lively market town of Sittingbourne – home to a good selection of high street stores, pubs, restaurants and leisure facilities as well as some highly-regarded schools.

It also benefits from superb transport links with the A2, the M2 and the M20 all close by and regular rail services from Sittingbourne station – just a short walk away – to both London Victoria and Gatwick airport.
