Bank holiday bargains for buyers in Derby

First-time buyers can receive a Government loan covering up to 30% of the cost of a brand new home, simply by visiting Bryant’s Highfield development in Derby this Bank Holiday weekend.

The special interest-free HomeBuy Direct loans are available to help purchasers with a household income of less than £60,000 step onto the property ladder.

But with a limited number of homes available under the scheme at Highfields, first-time buyers are urged to get to the development early on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd May to avoid disappointment.

Qualifying customers using the HomeBuy Direct scheme can reduce the mortgage they need to own a three-bedroom, three-storey house with garage at Highfields from £176,995 to just £123,897.

Kelly French, Sales and Marketing Director for Bryant Homes East Midlands, says: “This is a brilliant opportunity for anyone hoping to get onto the property ladder for less in 2009.

“The Government’s HomeBuy Direct loans make it possible to afford a home with a lower cost mortgage and without the need for a deposit.

“But with only a limited number of three-bedroom townhouses currently available using HomeBuy Direct, the chance to take advantage of the scheme and save thousands of pounds will be granted on a first come, first served basis.”

The ‘Harvington’ is just one of the homes available for as little as £123,897, and features a light and airy reception room with French doors to the rear garden, a fitted kitchen featuring a built-in oven, hob, hood, and a guest cloakroom and store off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the landing leads to a beautiful double bedroom, a third bedroom/study and a main bathroom. The master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes sits proudly upon the top floor.

Highfields offers an exceptional quality of life and easy access to a wealth of facilities for business and pleasure. Derby city centre is just a five-minute drive away, while the Peak District National Park, Alton Towers, Donnington Park and Uttoxeter racecourse are all within easy reach.

For further information on the HomeBuy Direct scheme, visit the marketing suite off Broadway, Derby, and open this Bank Holiday weekend from 10.30am to 5pm. Alternatively, go online to the website at Bryant.co.uk.
