Get a foothold on the ladder by purchasing with a buddy
Buying a first home with friends is becoming an increasingly popular way of getting a foothold onto the property ladder as the initial outlay by way of a deposit can be halved and the ongoing mortgage payments and monthly bills can also be shared, making it an affordable option for homebuyers.Persimmon Homes East Midlands boasts a beautiful selection of properties designed to suit the needs of those buying together as Carrie Warren, sales manager for the company, explains: “Our stunning two bedroom Buckingham coach house designs at our Holmewood development in Littleport are perfect for friends buying together as they come complete with an en suite shower room to the master bedroom and a separate bathroom leading off the second bedroom.”
The Buckingham has already been attracting interest from first time buyers, friends and investors due to its spacious layout and affordable price tag from £139,995. Also through the company’s commitment to the Government-led HomeBuy Direct scheme, purchasers couple pay as little as 70 per cent of the market price, at £97,997, for their brand new home, without the worry of saving for a deposit.*
Carrie concludes: “Savvy homebuyers are also wising up to the benefits of renting out their spare room for a little extra money each month, and with Littleport regarded as an attractive place to call home, I’m sure our beautiful properties will be snapped up by first time buyers, friends and couples alike.”
The village of Littleport hosts all the necessary amenities including shops, restaurants and pubs as well as good local schools, healthcare facilities and sports centre. Just a short drive away is the bustling cathedral city of Ely and Cambridge is just a 30 minute journey. Littleport train station provides direct access to London’s Kings Cross station, meaning a commute to the City is just an hour.
