Try before you buy first time in Burton

Forget the DIY, renovation and decorating nightmares that can come with purchasing an older, second-hand property - Redrow is offering a range of brand new, affordable homes ideal for first time buyers, in Burton-on-Trent. And now curious house hunters can ‘road test’ affordable living with the opening of the new fully furnished show home at the Debut at Burton venture.

It demonstrates just how stylish and contemporary these fantastic first time buyer pads can be; and the ‘D3’ design has maximum impact with its open plan first floor living room, dining area and kitchen, with a double bedroom, bathroom and storage on the floor below.

The opening of the new show home coincides with the arrival on site of a dedicated marketing suite, with Redrow’s own sales consultants ready and waiting to offer advice and guidance on getting onto the property ladder.

The Debut at Burton venture has 64 of Redrow’s innovative one and two-bedroom Debut homes - and with prices starting from as little as £59,999*, they are providing a much needed lifeline for cash-strapped first time buyers.

Debut customers will enjoy all the benefits of living in an award-wining, contemporary, newly built and energy efficient new home with all mod-cons.

Designed with first time buyers in mind – though not exclusively for them – the Debut homes are not only affordable, they include other practical features to make home ownership as easy as possible.

For example, the buyer pays just one monthly service charge, which includes the gas, water and electricity bills, as well as buildings insurance, external maintenance – and even the cost of window cleaning – making it so much easier for novice home owners to manage their monthly outgoings.

Julie Chapman, area sales manager for Redrow (Midlands) says: “Redrow’s Debut range is helping make ownership accessible, affordable and easy to manage for first time buyers. The opening of our show home at Burton allows potential buyers to ‘try before they buy’ and gives a taste of how comfortable and practical these unique homes really are.

“Many first time buyers are forced to buy poor quality, rundown housing in unattractive areas and then have to spend all of their spare time and money making it habitable. With Debut they are getting a brand, spanking, new home - with nothing to do - so they can just move in, make it their own and enjoy life to the full.”

Already hugely successful in other parts of the UK – including nearby Hilton - much of the cost-saving in the Debut homes comes from the way in which they are constructed. Redrow uses a lightweight structural steel frame and other modern methods of construction, which speeds up the build programme without compromising on quality.

There are also carefully managed outdoor spaces, which are designed to create a sense of neighbourhood, and Redrow homes are designed to achieve an EcoHomes rating of ‘Excellent’ – making them good for the planet, as well as the pocket.

Julie continues: “What’s more, with the Debut range there is an option to use our Easi-buy scheme, which allows buyers to defer 10% of the initial purchase price of their new home for up to 10 years on a fixed sum basis. This money can be paid back via occasional lump sums, monthly repayments or in whole at any time. In other words, it’s like an interest free loan.”

Located near the A34, Debut at Burton offers ideal commuter networks to the M1, M42 and M6. It is also just five minutes away from the centre of Burton-upon-Trent, which has a host of amenities and attractions, including restaurants, shops, a bowling alley and a cinema.
