Location and variety prove successful formula for Barratt in North Petherton

The sheer variety of homes, the location and Barratt’s proactive approach to helping people move has proved a successful formula for the developer at Stockmoor Parade in North Petherton.

Apartments, coach houses, family homes and large detached properties have all proved extremely popular with buyers looking to move to this Somerset development and sales manager Louise Terry said that availability is diminishing quickly.

“We are delighted with the success of Stockmoor Parade and that buyers love the choice we have here, and the way in which we can help everyone from first time buyers to those moving up the housing ladder,’’ said Louise.

First-time buyers and key workers can take advantage of the new government backed initiative HomeBuy Direct at Stockmoor Parade.

HomeBuy Direct allows eligible buyers to purchase 100 per cent of a new property for just 70 per cent of the price and no deposit is required. Barratt matches the government’s funding to provide the 30 per cent equity loan. The buyer pays no interest on this loan for five years, and repays the loan within 25 years or on the sale of the property.

“It’s not only first-time buyers and key workers who stand a chance of benefiting,’’ she said. “If you earn less than £60,000 per year come and talk to us, you could also be eligible for this scheme.’’

And hugely popular with those moving up the housing ladder is Barratt’s part exchange offering.

“This is specially designed to help you buy the home you want and to make your move as stress free as possible,’’ said Louise. “It removes all the uncertainty because Barratt is a guaranteed cash buyer - so there is no chain, no last-minute price haggling and no hidden costs.’’

Current availability at Stockmoor Parade includes three and four bedroom houses including the Maidstone which costs from £161,500 through to the three bedroom Suffolk townhouse priced at £174,950 and the four bedroom Radleigh at £249,950.

Stockmoor Parade is conveniently located just off junction 24 of the M5 motorway. The site is part of the Stockmoor Village Development, which will also provide a new school and shopping facilities in North Petherton.
