New homes for under £70k from Barratt

When was the last time you were able to purchase a brand new home for under £70,000? This is the question award-winning housebuilder Barratt West Midlands is asking local homebuyers in Walsall. This winter, at Barratt’s Saddler’s Reach development on Hospital Street, local homebuyers will be able to purchase a brand new one-bedroom apartment for as little as just £68,700 thanks to the housebuilder’s innovative ‘Dream Start’ scheme.

David Child Sales Director for Barratt commented, “Dream Start was initially launched last year and has been very popular with local homebuyers. To be able to purchase any property, let alone a brand new one for under £70,000 is very rare these days and it is a fantastic opportunity for first time buyers who have been struggling to find a property within their budget, they are now able to make the dream of homeownership a reality.

“Dream Start allows eligible homebuyers to purchase 100 per cent of the property for just 75 per cent of the price. There is no rent or interest to pay, the deferred amount is simply paid back as 25 per cent of the property’s open

market value at the point of resale or within 10 years, whichever is sooner.

“Dream Start is currently being offered on the one-bedroom Stirling style apartments, which are always popular with first time buyers who are looking for a spacious, yet manageable first home. This coupled with the excellent benefits that Dream Start offers, means that we expect these properties to be snapped up and we are urging homebuyers to act quickly.”

Saddler’s Reach is excellently located close to Walsall town centre, the railway station and major road links such as the M6 motorway. The Wulfrun and Mander shopping centre’s are also close by and offer a range of national stores.

The one-bedroom Stirling apartment comprises spacious open plan living and dining room with adjacent kitchen, large double bedroom and stylish bathroom. The Stirling is priced from £91,600 which, with Dream Start, means homebuyers can move in for as little as £68,700.

Saddler’s Reach comprises one-, two-, tree- and four-bedroom apartments and houses. For more information log on to Barratthomes.co.uk.
