Why rent when you can buy?

Potential first-time buyers who are keen to escape the rental market will be given a helping hand when they visit Barratt's Brecon View Park development in Merthyr Tydfil on Saturday 3rd May.

"Buyers new to the property market might think Brecon View Park is out of their reach, but we have some excellent first-time buyer deals to make this superb site accessible to them," reports Sandra Dixon, Barratt Sales director. "These include help with deposits, legal fees and stamp duty.

"We are holding this special day to show first-time buyers just how affordable a new home can be, and independent financial advisers will be on hand to give them comprehensive advice tailored to meet their needs.

"There are so many advantages to buying a first home," she continued. "It's a real capital investment compared to renting, and there's no danger of a landlord withholding your deposit or giving you notice to leave. Also, you can choose your perfect location and decorate the property to match your own personal tastes."

Current availability at Brecon View Park includes a selection of three, four and four/five-bedroom houses with prices ranging from £149,995 to £254,995. Two-bedroom houses will be released in the very near future.

"Many of our homes are generously sized, so they are absolutely perfect for friends who decide to buy together," Sandra continued. "We look forward to welcoming groups as well as couples and individuals on the day.

As the name implies, Brecon View Park enjoys an elevated hilltop setting, with stunning views of the Brecon Beacons, but it is also close to local amenities.

These include a leisure centre and the Cyfartha Retail Park, which boasts numerous high street stores. Merthyr Tydfil's town centre offers a wealth of shops and the thriving city of Cardiff is just a 40-minute drive away.
