Final countdown for Persimmon in Chelmsford

The ongoing success of Persimmon Homes Essex’s Chelmsford development, The Courtyard, is going from strength to strength, as the company now has just one plot remaining, the three bedroom Sandon design.

“Our last remaining housetype at The Courtyard is a traditional two storey property and is available for immediate occupation, so is ideal for young couples or a growing family who are looking to move this spring,” states Neil Sykes, sales director for Persimmon Homes Essex.

The internal layout of this attractive design includes an entrance hallway, dual aspect lounge with French doors leading to the rear garden, guest cloak room and an open plan kitchen and dining area. Upstairs visitors will find the master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathroom, while the two further spacious bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom.

The Sandon is priced at just £249,950 and for those with little or no savings Persimmon is offering its 50 per cent shared equity First Time Buyer Initiative, meaning homeowners could pay as little as £124,975 for the housetype.

Under the Government-backed First Time Buyer Initiative purchasers own 100 per cent of the property after initially paying just 50 per cent of the asking price. For the first three years buyers will only have to make their mortgage repayments and have nothing to pay on the amount contributed by the Government. After that, homeowners will pay an annual fee of one per cent on the amount the Homes & Communities Agency funded. This fee will increase each year by a fixed percentage, reaching a maximum of three per cent after five years.

Neil concludes: “The Courtyard has been an instant success with those looking to move within or to Chelmsford due to the development’s excellent kerb appeal, the variety of housetypes on offer and the competitive prices available and I therefore don’t expect the final home to be around for too much longer.”

Chelmsford is known as Essex’s county town and hosts a range of amenities from high street shops and supermarkets to restaurants, café’s and nightclubs for night owls. Commuters can take advantage of being situated five minutes from the A12, so London and Colchester are just a short ride away. The development is also located just a 25 minute walk from Chelmsford train station and London’s Liverpool Street Station is only 40 minutes journey.
