A helping hand for first-time buyers in Netherton

Barratt is continuing its commitment to helping first-time buyers step onto the property ladder with a great offer at its two developments in Netherton. The award-winning housebuilder is offering to fix mortgage payments to an equivalent rate of just 3% - fixed for two years - for those who purchase properties at Boundary Brook and Canal Walk.

As interest rates continue to rise, this should bring the dream of affording a home of their own within the reach of many potential buyers who would otherwise be unable to afford it.

Canal Walk, in a scenic location alongside the Dudley Canal, features a range of accommodation from two-bedroom apartments priced from just £145,995 to three and four-bedroom houses from £175,000. All properties are equipped with fitted kitchens and stylish bathrooms. There is ample parking space, and a central open green area leads directly to the secluded pathways of the canal side – ideal for pleasant walks.

Nearby Boundary Brook is a select development of just 24 three bedroom homes, which are finished to a very high standard. All overlook open space, and a brook running alongside provides a charming rural touch. These homes feature fully-fitted kitchens and white bathrooms and represent excellent value from just £175,995.

David Child, sales director of Barratt West Midlands, says “We realise that getting onto the property ladder these days is becoming more and more difficult and expensive for young and first-time buyers. Mortgage affordability is now the toughest it’s been since 1992.

“That’s why we always do our utmost to make the purchasing process as easy as possible. I’m sure that our offer to help reduce mortgage payments will prove to be the helping hand that many people need to move into their very own home.”

The sales office for Boundary Brook and Canal Walk is open daily from 11 am until 6 pm. For further details visit Barratthomes.co.uk.
