Help is at hand for first time buyers

Redrow is hosting a special weekend dedicated to helping first time buyers take their first steps on the property ladder - with a treat in store for anyone reserving a new home.

First time homebuyers can get some valuable advice from independent financial advisers this weekend (16th/17th) at Redrow @ The Grange, Desborough, as well as being treated to some luxurious champagne and chocolate treats.

Anyone reserving on the day will be in for an extra special treat from Redrow – a meal for two.

Heather Jackson, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Midlands) said: “Buying a first home can be a daunting experience but we want to make it as straightforward as possible for first time buyers to get some of the vital information they need.

“This open weekend is the ideal opportunity for them to seek advice about stepping onto the property ladder and take a look at the great properties we have on offer at Redrow @ The Grange.”

As well as chatting to Redrow’s knowledgeable sales consultants, prospective purchasers can speak with independent financial advisors to gain impartial advice about moving home and getting a mortgage for the first time.

Redrow @ The Grange has a range of competitively priced homes that are ideal for single first time buyers, couples and people wishing to share with friends. All offer the fantastic Redrow ‘House Price Protection,’* which gives cash-strapped home hunters a chance to relieve their worries and invest in a place that they can truly call home.

To further tempt customers, Redrow is also offering some great incentives to buy under the umbrella of ‘re:assure from Redrow.’ Including spectacular deals such as stamp duty paid, or 5% deposit paid or £500 towards your mortgage for two years, buyers can have a package tailor-made to their needs.

Heather added: “Once on the ladder, purchasers will hopefully be able to begin the process of building up some equity and will also be able to live the lifestyle they want to live. Many think they will never be able to afford it – but that doesn’t have to be the case, especially at Redrow @ The Grange, where we have a wide selection of stylish homes at competitive prices, as well as experts on hand to make home ownership easy to understand.

“We can also talk to buyers about the possibilities of getting a joint mortgage with a friend, which is a trend that has increased in popularity in recent years and can be a way of making the dream of owning a new home a reality.

“More importantly we can offer great incentives which will help struggling first time buyers to make that all-important first step.”

Available homes at Redrow @ The Grange include one-bedroom apartments from £104,995, three-bedroom terraces from £154,995, four-bedroom detached homes from £215,995 and five-bedroom detached homes from £309,995.

Commuters will benefit from easy access to the motorway network and major A-roads, providing links to the cities of Leicester, Peterborough and Northampton and beyond, while train links from nearby Kettering station provide journey times to London St Pancras of just over an hour, so Redrow @ The Grange can provide a peaceful and cost-effective retreat for city commuters.
