Success at Fieldways prompts new release of homes

Homebuyers keen to live in the desirable Paulton area will be pleased to hear Barratt is releasing more new homes at its Fieldways development following a surge of reservations.

"The demand has been incredible at Fieldways with more and more people wanting to live in the area, so despite the credit crunch, we've just released a new block of six one and two-bedroom apartments which are ideal for first-time buyers," reports Andrea Pilgrim, Barratt sales director.

"The number of incentives we have available has prompted buyers to purchase a dream home they may not have thought possible. Reservations have been non-stop so we are releasing more homes to cope with demand."

Prices at Fieldways range from just £99,995 to £179,995, so many of these new homes are well below the stamp duty threshold of £175,000 and if buyers take advantage now they can be in a new home by Christmas.

"We've almost sold all the 35 homes which have been built here, with the development proving popular with first-time buyers and families, largely due to its excellent location and realistic property prices.

"The packages we have available will make buyers forget any credit crunch concerns and get them in a brand new home in no time," Andrea continued.

"First-time buyers can benefit from our five per cent deposit paid and also our Head Start scheme in which they secure a mortgage for just 85 per cent of the total property price and Barratt finances the remaining 15 per cent for up to 10 years.

In addition to the new apartments, current availability at Fieldways includes a selection of four-bedroom terraced family houses priced from £179,995. Private buyers who want to move to a larger home can take advantage of Barratt's part exchange deal.

"Barratt will be releasing a further selection of two, three and four-bedroom homes here in the coming months to cope with the demand and create a real community at Fieldways."

Fieldways is located in Paulton, a large village to the north of the Mendip Hills, and local amenities include supermarkets, a library, schools and pubs. The village is close to the market town of Midsomer Norton and the former coal-mining town of Radstock. The A37 and A39 provide easy links to the thriving cities of Bristol and Bath.
