Get a dream start in Durham with Barratt

Barratt is offering buyers a dream start at The Sidings in Blackhall Rocks, enabling them to buy a brand new home for only 75 per cent of the purchase price and move in for just £99.

There’s no deposit to find and Barratt will include free carpets and kitchen appliances and also pay legal and moving costs.

The ‘Dream Start’ scheme brings the move-in price of a 2-bedroom ‘Washington’ house at the popular development down to just £86,250 instead of £115,000.

Barratt North East sales manager Steve Mariner said: “With Dream Start you could 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.

“It isn’t shared ownership – it’s your home, and you own 100 per cent of it from day one – but you only pay 75 per cent of the purchase price now. There’s no interest or rent to pay on the remainder for up to ten years or until you sell the property, whichever is sooner.”

He added: “We can only offer Dream Start on selected homes, and for a limited period only. It’s first come, first served, so I’d advise anyone interested to ask for details.”

The ‘Washington’ is an ideal first home and features an open-plan living room with dining area and French doors into the garden, fully-fitted kitchen complete with oven, hob and hood, and a cloakroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a bathroom.

The Sidings is conveniently located on the Durham coastline within 30 minutes drive of Sunderland, Durham and Middlesbrough, enabling homeowners to enjoy both the fresh coastal air and easy commuting.
