Get on the move and cross the bridge with Persimmon

For househunters who are put off buying the brand new dream home because of the rising costs and stresses involved with selling their own home, Persimmon Homes South Midlands has the answer with a simple scheme to get them on the move.

"Our Bridge the Gap initiative at our Kingsway development in Quedgeley, Gloucester has been specifically designed to help purchasers with both the financial and emotional input required when buying a new home," explains Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands.

Persimmon understands that buying a property is a daunting enough experience, without even considering having to sell one too, which is why they're offering to assist with this all important process.

Fiona Long, sales adviser at Kingsway, explains the initiative: "With Bridge the Gap we aim to help purchasers find and appoint two independent estate agents, we also advise them on the valuations and what price to market their property at. We then reserve the purchaser's chosen Persimmon home for up to six weeks while their existing property is sold. What's more we'll also pay the estate agent's and removal firm's fees too."

Currently available at Kingsway is a range of three/four, four and four/five bedroom homes, ideal for couples and families. Prices at the development start from £159,995 for a three bedroom design.

Located on the southern boundary of Gloucester just a short drive from the city centre and the M5, Kingsway offers a range of 101 new homes designs. Persimmon is not only building new homes but an entire new community. Kingsway Village will boast a new school, a community centre, health and sport facilities including a cricket square, a pavilion and tennis courts, as well as shops, play areas and parkland.

With easy access to Gloucester city centre and its excellent amenities, the development offers modern living in an exciting new destination. Gloucester is an excellent location with a good road network enabling residents to enjoy semi rural life with access to nearby towns and cities.
