Buyers give thumbs up to Kensington Gardens

A stunning selection of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes has proven to be a runaway success at leading housebuilder Barratt West Midlands’ Kensington Gardens development on Spring Road in Tyseley, since the launch of a new showhome.

A brand new four-bedroom, Ruby style property was recently unveiled to the public and Barratt was delighted with the swathe of visitors the showhome launch weekend attracted, proving that the homes at Kensington Gardens are as popular as ever.

Graydon Worthing, Sales Director for Barratt West Midlands commented, “Kensington Gardens has proven to be very popular with a range of purchasers, from first-time buyers and couples to large and growing families. A significant number of interested buyers attended the showhome opening weekend which took place in June and we were delighted with the fantastic response we received about the homes at Kensington Gardens.

“Many buyers have been impressed not only with the development’s excellent location and wide selection of homes available, but also the range of home moving schemes which are available to them and as a result, the development is selling out quickly.”

Barratt recognises that it can sometimes be difficult to buy the perfect home, which is why it offers a range of initiatives to suit many different buy circumstances.

For example the two-bedroom, Bromwich style apartments are available to buy with Barratt’s highly successful ‘Dream Start’ scheme which allows buyers to purchase a home for just 75 per cent of the price. This means that these apartments priced at £112,000 could be purchased for just £84,000. Homebuyers own 100 per cent of the home from day one and there is no interest or rent to pay on the remaining 25 per cent. This is simply paid back as 25 per cent of the properties market value after 10 years or up to the point of resale, whichever is sooner.

The Bromwich style apartments are the ideal first home for couples and young professionals alike. All offer an open plan living/dining room, separate fitted kitchen, two spacious bedrooms and stylish bathroom.

Graydon continued, “While Dream Start is specifically for first-time buyers, we also recognise that those purchasers with an existing home to sell may also need a helping hand. Purchasers in this situation are able to use our popular part-exchange scheme on any of the houses at Kensington Gardens. We will offer a fair market value on the existing property, leaving homebuyers free to purchase a brand new Barratt home. Plus we will also take care of all the associated costs of selling a home such as estate agents fees and the Home Information Pack.

“Kensington Gardens is a super development, just ten minutes away from Birmingham city centre with all of its shops, entertainment and nightlife and with the chance to take advantage of either our Dream Start or part-exchange schemes, there really has never been a better time to buy a new home.”

Prices for the two-bedroom apartments start from £112,000, three-bedroom homes from £179,950 and four-bedroom houses start from £199,950 For more information, log on to Barratthomes.co.uk/kensingtongardens.
