Apartments for under £50k in Humberstone

First-time buyers looking for an ideal apartment will find an amazing double offer at Bryant Homes' popular Humberstone development in Leicester – great homes and a fantastic incentive to help them get a foot on the property ladder.

Humberstone comprises of an attractive selection of one and two-bedroom apartments, each with a high standard specification including gas central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

New homebuyers choosing one of the five available designs can benefit from the Government's innovative First Time Buyers Initiative (FTBi) scheme.

Bryant Homes is taking part in the Government-backed scheme, which is designed to counteract the problem of larger deposits now being requested by many mortgage lenders and is seen as a welcome alternative to renting.

Since it launched last September, demand to buy homes under the HomeBuy initiative has been three times the amount expected, Housing Minister Margaret Beckett recently revealed. The scheme helps qualifying first-time purchasers with a household income of less than £60,000 afford a new home.

An interest free equity loan is available for up to 50% of the value of the property, co-funded by the Homes and Communities Agency and Bryant Homes – allowing first-time buyers to reduce their mortgage by up to half on selected homes, but still own 100% of the property. The loan is interest-free for the first three years, with the rate then capped at 3%.

Surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds, the attractive one-bedroom ‘Anton’ apartments at Humberstone, priced from £99,995 – as little as £49,999 under the FTBi – are generating a lot of interest with individuals and couples.

With an impressive open-plan kitchen/reception room located off a private, internal hallway, a well-proportioned bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom completes the fresh and stylish design.

With bay windows a feature on selected plots, the two-bedroom 'Arden' apartments from £109,995 are also proving popular, while customers seeking a family home can choose from the three-bedroom ‘Bracken’ house from £124,995 and the three-storey, three-bedroom ‘Arnold’ townhouse – with the option for an elevator to be installed – from £157,995.

Bryant at Humberstone is ideally located within easy distance of local amenities, including Rowlatts Hill and Balderstone Close primary schools, a good selection of pubs and a golf club, and is just a 10-minute drive from Leicester city centre.

For commuters, the A47 is a short distance by road, while Leicester Railway Station provides fast regular services to Birmingham, Nottingham, Peterborough and London St Pancras. The M1 and Nottingham East Midlands Airport are also very easily reached from the development.
