No console-ation for couples who miss out

Couples looking to buy their first home together in time for Christmas need look no further than Barratt West Midlands' Westminster Place development in West Heath for affordable inspiration.

There are just five apartments remaining at the Birmingham development, under the housebuilder's Affordable Housing Scheme. And Barratt will gift a Nintendo Wii console to the first buyer who reserves a property mid-November, to ensure that traditional Christmas gatherings are a hit with guests and introduce some festive competitiveness for couples who want to spend time together to enjoy their new home.

The two bedroom affordable apartments remaining at Westminster Place are priced at £85,750 for a ground floor property, and £89,565 for a first. The development is situated on Alvechurch Road, in West Heath and offers great access to local amenities, as well as the M42 and M5 motorways. Popular with commuters both in to and out of Birmingham, these apartments are ideal for young professionals looking to get their foot on the first rung of the property ladder.

Graydon Worthing, Sales Director for Barratt West Midlands, said, "Prospective homebuyers can go a long way to find an affordable home which suits their lifestyles and needs. Westminster Place offers brand new, fantastically priced two bedroom apartments - they are ready to move into straight away and are located within close reach of Birmingham city centre and the surrounding towns and cities of the West Midlands, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.

"These apartments are often very popular with young couples who want to buy their first house together. What better time to make the move than just before Christmas, when they will be able to settle into their first home at what is traditionally a family oriented holiday."

Aside from the apartments available on Barratt's Affordable Housing Scheme, Westminster Place offers one and two bedroom apartments starting from £135,450 and three and four bedroom houses ranging from £194,400 to £293,500.
