Home buying made easy by Barratt

Buying or selling a home can be one of life’s most stressful experiences – but this summer Barratt Homes has made it as easy as it can possibly be with the launch of its new Solutions scheme.

Solutions was introduced as a result of considerable market research undertaken by the award-winning house builder, when feedback showed that people wanted the whole house buying process to be easier to cope with.

Solutions offers a choice of three separate packages, each designed to facilitate a problem-free house purchase. Customers can choose the ‘solution’ that best suits them from a 3% mortgage subsidy, payment of their 5% deposit, or participation in Barratt’s home exchange scheme. There are also extra benefits such as the payment of legal fees and stamp duty, plus free fitted carpets.

A dedicated negotiator keeps the customer informed throughout the whole buying process – and Barratt’s own removal company can even help moving day itself remain as painless as possible! Solutions has already helped a wide range of purchasers realise their dream of owning a brand new home.

David Child, sales director of Barratt West Midlands, says: “In today’s market, where higher interest rates have made mortgage affordability the toughest since 1992, it’s more important than ever to understand the difficulties buyers have to overcome to be able to afford their own home. Here at Barratt we pride ourselves on having the ability to provide effective solutions that really make a difference – we’re more than just a house builder!”

The Solutions 5% deposit paid offer is ideal for first-time buyers, bringing that essential first step onto the property ladder within reach. Alternatively, the 3% mortgage subsidy could help move-up buyers cope with the financial strain of higher mortgage repayments. The Solutions home-exchange scheme means that buyers with an existing property to sell could find they have sold up and moved in within a matter of weeks!

Barratt acts as a cash buyer, offering to pay the full market value of the existing home, so that buyers can move into their new property swiftly with no chain to worry about and no estate agent’s fees to pay.
