Show home style and tempting deals in Blaydon

Eager house hunters have been beating a path to Riverside Crescent at Blaydon since Barratt North East unveiled three stunning showhomes there. Sales adviser Tracy Clark has welcomed more than 250 visitors in less than three weeks to the flagship development on the south bank of the Tyne.

They have braved the worst of the winter weather to view the work of showhome co-ordinator Gillian Keddy, who has applied a range of contrasting modern colours to create a variety of eye-catching, up-to-the-minute interiors.

The housebuilder is also tempting buyers with some dazzling deals.

Barratt North East sales manager Steve Mariner said: “We’ve seen a marked increase in visitors since we launched the showhomes.

“People are also realising that now could be a very good time to buy, with keen prices and interest rates at historically low levels.

“We have a number of ways to help first-time buyers. With our Dream Start scheme, for example, there’s no deposit to find and you could move in for just £99.

“You pay only 75 per cent of the purchase price now – and take advantage of an interest-free loan on the other 25 per cent for up to ten years.

“This makes a dramatic difference to the move-in price, and having only a 75 per cent mortgage makes monthly repayments very affordable.”

Dream Start is offered on the stylish ‘Falkirk’ 2-bedroom apartment, which could be your for just £90,000 instead of £120,000.

Move-up buyers could take advantage of the famous Barratt part exchange service, so they don’t have to worry about finding a buyer for their old place, and also enjoy mortgage subsidy of up to £340 a month for two years.

Steve added: “These are some of our best-ever deals, but they can only be available for a limited period. I’d advise anyone interested to come and talk to us as soon as they can.”

For fast movers Barratt will also pay legal and moving costs and include free carpets and kitchen appliances.

Riverside Crescent enjoys a lovely setting on the site of the famous Blaydon Races. Its location is ideal for families, with a wide range of local leisure amenities and schools, and convenient for commuters.

The showhomes and sales centre are open from 10.00am to 5.00pm, Thursday to Monday. For more information visit Barratthomes.co.uk.
