Countdown begins at Badger’s Dene

Time is running out for house hunters in Kidderminster with only a handful of properties remaining at Miller Homes Badger’s Dene development.

Situated on Franchise Street, just minutes from a wide selection of shops and leisure facilities; the development has always been a hot choice but is proving even more popular as buyers have been taking advantage of the new government backed shared equity scheme, HomeBuy Direct.

Linda Androlia, regional sales director for Miller Homes, said: “HomeBuy Direct has been a huge success at Badger’s Dene and we see no reason why this will change.

“However househunters must be quick as we have limited properties available on the scheme and they won’t last forever - purchasers only have until 24th December to reserve a property using the initiative.”

Under the scheme, buyers have the opportunity to purchase 100 percent of their home by paying just 70 percent of the value, with Miller Homes and the Government co-funding the remaining 30 percent.

The 30 percent equity loan only becomes repayable after 25 years or when the customer sells their home, and because the scheme is government backed, buyers can feel completely secure in their investment.

Linda continued: “A real plus is that there is no interest payable on the equity loan for the first five years. The new owner can move in and relax in their home without having to immediately worry about repayments.

“Of course, the success at Badger’s Dene is down to more than just a great offer – it’s a fantastic development too.

“This is evident by the fact that whilst the media talk of challenging times within the housing industry, we’ve actually released more apartments at the scheme to meet the continued demand.”

Badgers Dene strikes the right balance between an urban base and a quiet retreat with excellent transport links providing easy access to the A456 leading into Birmingham and the Wyre Forest; and to the south via the A449 which gives a direct link to Worcester and the M5.

The development offers a selection of two bedroom apartments and four bedroom houses. A four bedroom Connaught with single garage is available from £169,950, or with HomeBuy Direct, from just £118,965. Prices for the apartments start at £106,950, or from £74,865 with HomeBuy Direct.
