Westminster Place provides affordable haven

First time buyer Nicola Ryder has found the perfect place to call home at Barratt West Midlands Westminster Place development on Alvechurch Road in West Heath.

Nicola, 28, is a nurse at the Neuroscience unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and ideally required an affordable property which was close to local amenities and still within easy commuting distance for work.

Nicola explains, "Originally I saw an advert for Westminster Place in the local newspaper and the development was not too far from where I used to live with my parents in Bartley Green. The fact that Barratt were also offering affordable housing really caught my eye and it sounded just what I was after.

"The two-bedroom apartment is very spacious, with an en-suite to the master bedroom; there is also a large family bathroom, a kitchen and a separate dining area which is perfect for entertaining friends and family at weekends. Plus the location of Westminster Place is perfect for me as it only takes me 20 to reach the centre of Birmingham for work and for shopping in my spare time."

Graydon Worthing, Sales Director for Barratt said, "There is a real shortage of affordable homes in the UK today so it is very important for us to be able to offer these apartments at such a significant discount. It means that those who may otherwise struggle to get a foot onto the property ladder will be able to make the dream of home ownership a reality, whilst still owning 100 per cent of the property.

"These apartments are perfect for first time buyers like Nicola, who can take advantage of the chance to move straight in without having to worry about maintenance or DIY, meaning they are able to concentrate on enjoying their beautiful new home."

Westminster Place offers a selection of one- and two-bedroom apartments and three- and four-bedroom houses. For more information log on to barratthomes.co.uk/westminsterplace.
