Affordable new homes for Wakefield

It’s official homes just got more affordable especially for first time buyers in the Yorkshire region. A recent report by HBOS plc states that ‘property prices became more affordable for someone on average earnings in four out of ten Local Authorities in Yorkshire and Humber’ between 2007 and 2008. A 40% increase from 0% before 2007.

National housebuilder Miller Homes is pleased with the report figures and has released its latest affordable homes for people in the Wakefield area. The award winning housebuilder has priced its one bedroom apartments, at its elite Fairfield Manor development in Wakefield, from just £95.00 per week using the company’s acclaimed MiWay initiative.

Jan Hanaby, regional sales manager for Miller Homes Yorkshire said: “New homes haven’t been this affordable for years. Asking prices have come right down and, for the right buyers, interest rates are following suit. Many of our buyers are now finding that they can afford to buy new.”

The Miller MiWay has helped almost 270 homebuyers afford a new Miller home last year. Purchasers are able to buy a new home without having to pay the full purchase price up front, but still own 100 percent of the property from day one. The scheme allows buyers to pay 75% now and 25% later with help in the form of long term equity loan from Miller Homes, with no interest or rent to pay (see millerhomes.co.uk/miway for details).

All apartments at Fairfield Manor boast airy, open plan living areas with a large integrated kitchen, spacious bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a contemporary bathroom. Selected plots also have the added luxury of a Juliet balcony with French doors.

The properties also come with other added extras including chrome down lighters, integrated washer/dryer, a stainless steel sink with an eye-catching monobloc tap and a thermostatic shower.

Jan continued: “This deal has been designed to enable househunters to buy with confidence. It means they don’t have the worry of finding the funds for a deposit and they know that the little investment now of only £95.00 a week will enable them to have a beautiful brand new home worth £90,000.”

Fairfield Manor is a beautiful new neighbourhood of the finest quality houses and apartments. It is positioned around a focal point in the style of a village green. This peaceful retreat is perfectly situated just half a mile from the lively centre of Wakefield. It also has easy access to the M1 and M62, making it an ideal base for commuting.
