Live almost mortgage free for a year

What would you do without a mortgage – jet off on an exotic holiday, buy a new car or maybe a whole new wardrobe? One housebuilder is making these dreams potentially a reality in Selby.

Wakefield-based Redrow Homes, currently building in Osgodby, is offering buyers the chance to escape the bulk of their mortgage payments for a year, with a £500 per month subsidy on selected plots for a whole year.

Julie Rayner, sales director for Redrow Homes (Yorkshire) says: “By offering this subsidy, our buyers will be able to live almost mortgage free for 12 months, freeing up the extra cash to spend on what they like – be that a couple of weeks in the sun, a conservatory or a new plasma screen television, or even all three!”

This offer is currently available at the company’s Abbey Fields development in Osgodby, a select venture of only 38 properties – offering buyers an exclusive community in a desirable countryside location.

Julie says: “Abbey Fields offers a top class location - residents have green fields on the doorstep, which creates a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for getting away from those everyday stresses. And great transport links means that big cities such as Leeds and York are nearby, offering commuters the best of both worlds. We’ve got a good range of family homes available at the moment, and anyone interested should come down to have a look at our show and view homes.”

One of the properties currently available is the Otter. This home, currently priced from £229,995, is an elegant and stylish design, which would suit a family who value a traditional layout.

The ground floor opens into a spacious hallway and adjoining cloakroom, with kitchen, utility and separate dining room to the rear. The lounge, with bay windows is at the front of the property. Upstairs are the four bedrooms, all of a good size, with en-suite facilities to the master, along with the family bathroom.

Potential buyers can get a glimpse of both an Otter view home and the fully furnished Ribble show home at the development.

Julie adds: “Fabulous family homes like these always get snapped up quickly and, as the mortgage incentive is only available for a limited amount of time, now is the time to make that house move.”

Abbey Fields itself is located in the tranquil village of Osgodby, just a few miles from Selby town centre and its amenities such as a railway station with direct routes to Leeds, York and London. Road travel is also easily accessible from the A19, with only short distances to both the M62, M1 and A1, ideal for commuters.
