Affordable apartments selling fast at Boleyn Court

A successful launch event has seen 25 per cent of the affordable new apartments at Boleyn Court, in Brompton, near Chatham sold off-plan.

It’s great news for Orbit First Step which is delighted to have found fantastic new homes for its first three buyers, and it’s good news for anyone else who is looking for a brand new 1- or 2-bedroom apartment because there are still nine remaining.

Each apartment includes a contemporary fitted kitchen complete with an oven, hob and cooker hood, washing machine as well as central heating and allocated parking and they are all available to purchase under the popular New Build HomeBuy scheme. This enables buyers to purchase a share of the property with a minimum 40 per cent currently available from just £40,000.

Most purchasers will need to raise a mortgage to purchase their share and then pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share. They can also ‘staircase’ - purchasing additional shares in the future, if they wish, until they own the property outright. Orbit First Step estimates that you would need a household income from around £17,900 for these properties to be affordable.

Sales and Marketing Manager, Diane Webster said: “We’re over the moon that three local buyers, each of whom had been struggling to get onto the property ladder now has their very own home. The New Build HomeBuy scheme is helping hundreds of homebuyers around the country and we can still help nine more individuals or couples to achieve their home-buying dream. Anyone can apply for these properties providing they have an annual household income less than £60,000 although preference will be given to those living or working in the local area, and we also have other properties in the area that you may wish to consider, including Maidstone, Snodland and Tonbridge. You could be a Key Worker, a First Time Buyer, in need of a new home following a relationship breakdown, or you could be looking for a larger, but still affordable, home for your growing family; the easiest way to find out if we can help, is to get in touch with us and we can easily assess your eligibility for our properties.”
