Step onto the housing ladder in Newport

First time buyers are the focus of attention for David Wilson Homes in Newport this weekend (May 9/10) with a special event dedicated to helping people take the first steps on the property ladder.

Experts will be on hand to help first time buyers secure their new home and sales director Bernice McKenna said those considering a move can find out how David Wilson Homes can help.

Schemes popular with first time buyers includes Easy Start whereby first-time buyers only need to secure a mortgage for 75 per cent of the asking price and there is no deposit. The other 25 per cent is covered by David Wilson Homes and repayable interest free, either within 10 years or on the resale of the property.

Set in the heart of Newport, The Square currently offers a selection of one bedroom coach houses and three bedroom houses. Homes are available from just £75,712 under the Easy Start scheme.

“It’s a great incentive for people eager to buy their first home, particularly in the current credit crunch,” Bernice added. “If they buy now, they can be settled in their new property by June, in time for the summer.”

“We are committed to providing affordable homes for people who thought it would be impossible to buy in today’s economic climate, and our shared equity scheme applies to houses as well as apartments,” Bernice continued. “First-time buyers can learn more at our special weekend, when independent mortgage advice will be available.”

The Square is just a short walk away from Newport town centre, which boasts a wealth of amenities and a popular nightlife. There is easy road access to the Brecon Beacons National Park and the cities of Cardiff, Bristol and London.
