Charles Church offers a helping hand

Taking that first step onto the property ladder has never been easy. Saving for a deposit, getting a mortgage and finding the right house in the right location can all be a bit of a challenge. Add all of that to trying to find a house that is affordable and within budget and it’s easy to see why first time buyers often to struggle to find somewhere which ticks all of their boxes.

With this in mind, Charles Church has introduced the ‘First Step’ shared ownership scheme, to help first time buyers make their first step on the property ladder. The scheme, which is currently offered at Oakroyd on Bradford Road, Birkenshaw, means that quality new homes are within reach of the first time buyer.

Andrew Demain, Business Development Director for Charles Church West Yorkshire, explains: “With our new First Step scheme you pay just 75% of the value of a new Charles Church home and we will put forward the remaining 25%. The property then belongs to you, 100%. When you decide to sell, or within 10 years – whatever comes first – you pay us back the remaining 25%. It really is that simple!”

With the First Step scheme a two bedroom apartment at Oakroyd is now available for just £104,996 – offering purchasers a saving of £34,999. The scheme is available on a select number of properties at the development – speak with a sales executive to find out more.

Oakroyd offers a selection of two bedroom apartments as well as three and four bedroom townhouses. The development itself sits in a secluded location off Bradford Road and is surrounded by beautiful mature trees. It is just a short distance from the quaint mill village of Birkenshaw and close to the main road which leads to Bradford city centre. Leeds is also within close proximity. The M62 and M1 are both close, and trains run to London’s Kings Cross daily.

With prices ranging from £139,995 and £229,995, and the First Step scheme available on select properties, visit the sales office daily from 11am and 6pm for further details. Alternatively visit Charleschurch.com for more information.
