Get a Head Start with Barratt in Balgan

Barratt South Wales is inviting anyone aspiring to buy their first home to a special event at its Abbottsmoor development in Balgan, Port Talbot on Saturday 20th February, from 10am to 5pm.

First time buyers will have the chance to discuss mortgage options with financial advisors and to talk to Barratt’s sales negotiators about the great offers available at the scheme, which currently has two and three-bedroom houses for sale.

Refreshments will be served throughout the day, including delicious pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday.

Adrian Bird, sales director at Barratt South Wales, says: “We hope people planning to take their first steps onto the property ladder will join us on 20th February; it’s a great opportunity to find out how our various incentive schemes work and how these can be tailored to their individual requirements.

“We usually find that once we’ve gone through the figures with them, first time buyers are surprised to discover that they can afford to buy now, and that there’s no need to put their dreams of owning their first home on hold. Many people tell us they’d prefer to put their money into bricks and mortar rather than renting, that this is a better long-term investment for them; we’d like to try and make this possible.”

Two-bedroom semi-detached homes at Abbottsmoor are priced from just £110,000, making them ideal for first-time buyers. Homebuyers can pay much less than this by taking advantage of Barratt’s Head Start scheme, which allows you to pay just 85 per cent of the selling price but own 100 per cent of the property. This means you could be paying as little as £93,500. The remaining 15 per cent is an interest-free loan that doesn’t have to be repaid for ten years or until the property is sold.

Buyers not taking up the Head Start offer can choose instead to have their Stamp Duty, deposit or legal fees paid by Barratt.

Abbottsmoor enjoys a lovely location amidst some of the best countryside in South Wales, with forest parks, dramatic waterfalls, meandering rivers and peaceful canals all near to the development. There’s a good choice of schools in the area and transport links are convenient with the train station at Baglan just under a mile from Abbottsmoor and Swansea Airport around 11 miles away.

Prices for homes currently available start from £110,000 for a two-bedroom semi-detached house with parking for two cars, and from £141,500 for a three-bedroom mid-terraced house with parking for one car. The sales and marketing suite is open daily, Sunday to Friday 11am to 6pm, Saturday 10am to 5pm. For further information on all Barratt Homes visit the website at barratthomes.co.uk.
