Grimsby homes are perfect for first time buyers

First time buyers looking for a starter property are often out-priced and out-sized by the choice available, but a new collection of affordable smaller homes in Grimsby should fill the void.

The two and three-bedroom homes just released by award-winning Redrow at its Kirk’s Paddock development at Scartho Park are the perfect price and fit for newcomers to the property ladder.

Helping make them so desirable is the fact they can use an equity loan to put off paying up to 30% of the asking price on selected plots by using the government-backed HomeBuy Directhelp scheme.

With HomeBuy Direct, eligible buyers with an annual household income less than £60,000 may be able to buy a two-bedroom ‘Calder’ for an initial outlay of just £108,000, whilst a three-bedroom ‘Ennerdale’ can be called home for as little as £271,995. The equity loan is interest free for the first five years.

Patsy Aicken, sales manager for Redrow Homes (Yorkshire) said: “It can sometimes be hard for first time buyers to find a property that is the right price and size, but the latest homes at Kirk’s Paddock, will hopefully add to the choice available in and around the Grimsby area.

“They enjoy all the benefits of being brand new, including fully fitted kitchens, modern bathrooms with white suites and quality fixtures and fittings, double glazed windows and central heating; and unlike older second hand properties there’s no need for costly renovations.”

Meanwhile for those looking for something a little larger, Kirk’s Paddocks also has a number of four-bedroom detached family homes.

Some homes are already built and ready to move into and, for those potential buyers with an existing property to sell, Redrow will consider part exchange.

Patsy continues: “The help currently being offered at Kirk’s Paddock is designed to help buyers and get them moving into their ideal home – quickly and easily, with the minimum of fuss.”

Located just two miles from Grimsby town centre, Kirk’s Paddock is also within easy reach of the coastal town of Cleethorpes and offers easy access to motorway links for Hull, Doncaster, Leeds and Wakefield. There are direct train services from the town to Doncaster, Manchester and Sheffield.
