Utilities paid when you buy a new home with Barratt

Thousands of people struggling to pay sky-high utility bills in Derbyshire this winter must wish they could take a payment holiday. So maybe they should consider buying a great value new home, because Barratt North Midlands in Derbyshire is offering to give homebuyers gas, electricity, water and council tax free of charge until the summer of 2010.

That means you don't have to worry about heating bills this winter or next. And you could be left with thousands of pounds more in your wallet to fund the new home you always wanted.

James Poynor, sales director at Barratt North Midlands, said: "Paying utility bills is one of the biggest variables in most household's disposable income. So when gas and electricity prices are as high as they are now everyone feels the strain.

"That's why we're offering to pay your bills for 18 months if you buy a new Barratt home in Derbyshire. You could have literally thousands of pounds more to spend for the next year and a half, by which time economists think the worst of the recession will be over.

"So if you do want to buy a new home, now might be a much better time than you think. Remember you'll be buying at today's prices, not 2007 prices.

"This is one of the many great packages we have available for people who are buying into the market at just the right time."

Homes currently available for gas, electric, water and council tax paid in Derbyshire include selected plots at The Glade in Church Gresley, The Spires in Chesterfield, City Point in Wilmorton, Celtic Village in Worksop and Hallam Fields in Ilkeston.
