Persimmon's advice for Stafford house hunters

Anyone who is considering buying for the first time or making the next move up the property ladder but is reluctant to do so because of reports about current market conditions should make a point of visiting The Crossings, Persimmon's Stafford-based development this weekend.

Staff and independent financial advisers will be on hand to talk house hunters through the buying process to help allay any concerns would-be-buyers may have.

Whilst recent reports about lending and the availability of credit may have unnerved some people, it would seem that some house hunters can use this situation to their distinct advantage as Lynne Vogel, Persimmon's field sales manager, explains: "Those with a deposit or equity in their own home and reasonable income can still get great mortgages, really making it a buyer's market and despite recent reports, there are still attractive mortgage deals available, but you do need to move quickly to get them.

"With competitively priced properties and a wide range of incentives available on our collection of new homes across the region, anyone considering buying for the first time, or even those looking to make a move up the property ladder, can breath a sigh of relief."

Indeed, Persimmon has some great incentives geared towards helping specific sectors of the market, such as its ‘Helping Hand' shared equity and deposit paid schemes for first time buyers and Part Exchange for those with a property to sell.

Lynne concludes: "Whatever your budget, circumstance or requirement, there's a new home, offer and informed advice available to get you on the move - three factors that should certainly help to boost customer confidence."

The Crossings which is situated close to the historic town of Stafford and superbly located near to the M6, offers great travel links to larger towns and cities such as Birmingham, Cannock and Crewe. The town of Stafford bustles with activity and each month a farmers market is held, making it a very friendly place to shop. The region is also renowned for its pottery with Spode, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton bringing prosperity and fame to the area.
