Move in for £99 at Citigait in Portsmouth

As part of its commitment to providing affordable homes, Barratt can offer potential buyers a variety of attractive deals at its Citigait development in the university city of Portsmouth.

"Citigait is a stunning gated development of one and two-bedroom apartments in the centre of Portsmouth, and buyers new to the property market might think it is out of their reach," reports Catherine Ferguson, Barratt sales director. "However, we have some excellent packages designed to make this superb site accessible to them.

"Our ‘move in for £99' initiative for first-time buyers allows them to literally move in for a down payment of just £99, and Barratt pays the stamp duty, legal fees and deposit. We also offer a ‘big money match', whereby Barratt matches the buyer's savings by 5%.

"We can also offer a £500 monthly mortgage subsidy which runs for two years. This is available to people who are able to proceed immediately and, although it is ideal for first-time buyers, the subsidy is available to anyone."

Two-bedroom apartments with parking spaces are currently available at Citigait and prices start from £187,995.

A secure, gated development, Citigait is located close to the main shopping centre in Commercial Road and it is just a short walk to Portsmouth Harbour Station, which offers a regular train service to London Waterloo.

The maritime city of Portsmouth is an exciting place to live. It offers a potent blend of history, culture and leisure activities - including the historic dockyard with its Royal Naval Museum and the Gunwharf Quays leisure complex.

The city also boasts excellent transport links - it is close to the M27 and M3 motorways and Southampton Airport Parkway is only a short drive away.
