Affordable homes on show in Southam

Orbit First Step will be showcasing a number of brand new affordable homes in Southam on Saturday 12 September. Interested persons are invited to make an appointment to find out more about the three-bedroom houses that are ideal for families looking for low-cost home ownership in the area.

As well as staff from Orbit First Step who can provide more information on the properties available, an independent financial advisor will be available to provide no-obligation advice to those requiring assistance and all visitors will have the opportunity to enter a free prize draw to win a £50 shopping voucher.

All the properties are available to purchase under the New Build HomeBuy scheme under which buyers purchase a share of the property; a minimum 25 per cent share is currently available from just £42,500. And you don’t need to worry that the house will never be totally yours because you have the option to purchase additional shares in the future, if you wish, until you own the property outright, just as you would if purchasing through a conventional mortgage.

The homes include a fitted kitchen with stainless steel oven, hob and extractor hood, a tiled bathroom with overbath shower, a downstairs cloakroom, a turfed garden with a shed and allocated parking. They also feature gas central heating and double glazing which will help to keep fuel bills down.

Sales and Marketing Manager, Diane Webster said: “We’ve already sold three of these houses and it won’t be long before we find buyers for the remainder because homes in the Stratford Upon Avon area that offer such good value for money are difficult to come by. If you are interested in buying a home for your family, please do come along and have an informal chat with us. We can help people in all sorts of circumstances, proving they have a household income of less than £60,000 and we can quickly tell you if we can make your dreams come true.”

As well as the six houses currently on the market, a further three 3-bedroom houses and six 2-bed apartments will also be available at the development in 2010 and, providing you are registered with Stratford District Council, you can register your interest for any of the properties now. A variety of additional properties are also available across Warwickshire.
