Berkeley Homes give boost to first time buyers

Anyone thinking of buying their first home appreciates a helping hand. That is why Berkeley Homes is organising a special First time Buyers weekend at its superb Knowle Village development in Wickham, near Fareham, on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd September.

First time buyers will find a huge amount of help on offer. Berkeley Homes is offering a range of incentives, tailored to individual needs, including payment of the 5% deposit, as well as assistance with stamp duty and legal fees - substantial offers which could make all the difference to those hoping to buy their first home. An independent financial advisor will also be on hand to give guidance about money matters.

As an extra incentive, anyone who reserves a home over the weekend will receive a special bonus: Habitat vouchers to the value of £500! And, adding a bit of spice to the occasion, anyone visiting the Berkeley Homes marketing suite on these dates will also be entered into a prize draw to win £500 of Habitat vouchers.

Even without these tempting incentives, Knowle Village has plenty to offer first-time buyers. The new one and two-bedroom apartments at Meadow View Court are created to the very high specification associated with Berkeley Homes and are perfect for a first home.

The open plan living/dining area of these stylish apartments provides a light airy space with plenty of room for entertaining friends; Villeroy and Boch bathrooms are elegantly finished in classic white and the stylish kitchens are superbly equipped with appliances, even including a fridge/freezer and dishwasher, to help the budgets of first-time buyers go that little bit further.

Knowle Village, which is set amidst lovely open countryside, has already become a thriving community with its own village green, grocery store, hairdressing salon and even a nursery school. Wickham, just a mile away, has a good choice of shops and some great country pubs and restaurants. The M27 is just a few minutes’ drive away making it easy to travel to Southampton and Portsmouth.

Prices of apartments at Meadow View Court start from £149,995 for a one-bedroom apartment and from £169,995 for a two-bedroom apartment.
