Only one to go on Lawton Road

If you fancy moving into a brand new and affordable home in Rushden, Northamptonshire, en you should make a move soon as there is only one property remaining at Orbit First Step’s Lawton Road development.

The 2-bedroom maisonette features a fitted kitchen with oven, hob and extractor fan and a washer dryer; as well as double glazing and gas central heating. It also includes non-slip flooring in the bathroom and kitchen and carpeting in the remaining areas.

The home is available under the New Build HomeBuy scheme under which purchasers buy a percentage share in the property, usually raised via a mortgage, and then pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share. A 25 per cent share in the maisonette costs just £18,750 and if that isn’t appealing enough, Orbit First Step is generously offering to waive your rent for the first 12 months. Those purchasing less than a 50 per cent share will additionally benefit from a choice of £2,000 cash back or five per cent deposit paid. All incentives are offered subject to terms and conditions.

Alternatively, the maisonette is available on the innovative Rent to HomeBuy scheme that provides a stepping stone between renting and purchasing. Under this option, people can move into the property they want to purchase straight away as a tenant and pay a discounted rent – saving 20 per cent against the current market rental rate. While they are renting, they are encouraged to save for a deposit – which is one of the major hurdles for first time buyers. The monthly rent is an incredibly competitive £360.

Orbit First Step’s Sales and Marketing Manager, Diane Webster said: “I think it would be difficult for anyone looking to buy a home in Northamptonshire to find anyone offering the level of incentives that we have available on our last maisonette at Lawton Road. They really could make a real difference for someone who has been struggling to get on the property ladder and give them the break they have been looking for. If you don’t want to miss out on this amazing deal, don’t delay in contacting us. We’re more than happy to have an informal chat with you and provide you with further information on the property and the financing options you open to you.”
