Help for struggling first time buyers in Chelmsford

Saturday 9th February could be the day when first-time buyers looking for a home in or close to Chelmsford receive the extra boost they need to get a foot on the property ladder.

Barratt Eastern Counties is holding a ‘Dream Start Day’ at its developments The Tower, in the centre of Chelmsford, and at The Hawthorns, close to Witham, just nine miles away.

These days are being held to tell first-time buyers about the amazing Dream Start offer that allows them to buy a new home for just 75% of the price. An independent financial adviser will also be on hand to give guidance on money matters.

Rebecca Littler, Sales and Marketing Director for Barratt Eastern Counties comments” “Dream Start is our best ever offer for first-time buyers. It’s a really fantastic deal that is only available on selected homes for a short period of time. I strongly recommend that anyone interested should come along to our Dream Start days to find out more.”

Dream Start buyers pay only 75% of the purchase price; the remaining 25% is deferred, without interest or rent, for up to ten years or until the house is resold.

As an extra incentive, if anyone reserves a home at The Tower or The Hawthorns on Saturday 9th or Sunday 10th February, Barratt will even pay the stamp duty and legal fees up to £1,000.

Barratt’s The Tower is in a superb position, close to the Chelmsford town centre and adjacent to the railway station; trains to London’s Liverpool Street take just 35 minutes.

The one and two-bedroom apartments have a contemporary open-plan layout and are fitted to a very high standard. With a three-storey sky-lighted atrium in the heart of the development, roof terrace, private gym and concierge service, The Tower is setting new standards for homes in Chelmsford.

Dream Start prices (75% of the full selling price) at The Tower start at just £150,000 for a one-bedroom apartment.

The Hawthorns, just off the A12, combines a lovely location, opposite open fields and surrounded by countryside, with great accessibility. Barratt is building a wide selection of apartments and houses and is offering two-bedroom apartments under the Dream Start scheme, priced from £130,495 (75% of the price).

Some homes at both developments are ready for immediate occupation.
