Redrow throws first time buyers a lifeline

It will be music to the ears of struggling first time buyers wanting to make their leap onto the property ladder - apartments at Redrow's new venture in Milnrow, can be snapped up for just under £100,000.

There is no compromise on location or price at the award-winning housebuilder's Church Gate development, off Dale Street. Contemporary one and two-bedroom apartments sit comfortably against a picturesque countryside backdrop - and the affordable prices mean this idyllic way of living is accessible to all buyers.

Irene Gifford, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Lancashire) says: "With their spacious layouts and affordable prices, the properties at Church Gate are perfect for home hunters looking to own their own home.

"Priced from only £99,995, they are below the stamp duty threshold which of course is an added bonus and because the apartments are brand new, customers will have little or no maintenance to worry about and none of the costly repairs or renovations associated with buying an older second hand property.

The property mix at Church Gate includes the one-bedroom ‘Avon 4' apartment, with single parking space, currently priced at £99,995 and the spacious two-bedroom

‘Avon 1' apartment, which also comes with a single parking space and is priced at £123,995.

Visitors to the development can also find out about ‘re:assure from Redrow', a package of measures which are all designed to give home buyers confidence and to help get them moving in the current housing market.

At Church Gate for example, Redrow is offering to pay 5% deposit and provide fitted carpets throughout the properties - meaning more money in the budget for home furnishings or even a summer holiday away from it all!

Irene continues: "We have received a lot of interest in Church Gate with the first competitions expected in June. Also, the first apartment block is almost build-complete so buyers are encouraged to pop down and take a look and envisage living in this fabulous setting.

The accessible location of Church Gate means it will prove to be an ideal dwelling for eager commuters with the major cities of Leeds and Manchester easily reached via Milnrow train station which is in walking distance from the development. Also house hunters seeking a little tranquillity will be pleased to know that the development is near to the scenic setting of Hollingworth Lake.
