Buyers given a Head Start at Twyford Square

Barratt is offering its rare Head Start scheme on the final one bedroom apartment remaining at its Twyford Square development in Eastleigh.

“Twyford Square has been incredibly successful and we have just one apartment available which we are offering our Head Start scheme on,” reports Mark Docherty, Barratt sales director.

Head Start is a shared equity scheme allowing a buyer to secure a home for just 85 per cent of the asking price. The remaining 15 per cent is funded through a deferred Barratt loan which is only payable when the home is sold again or in ten years – whichever is sooner.

The remaining apartment has an asking price of £149,995 but can be purchased for just £127,495.75 through the Head Start scheme. Buyers do still require a five per cent deposit.

The one-bedroom apartment offers an entrance hall, store/airing cupboard, bathroom, spacious master bedroom, fitted kitchen with washer/dryer and lounge/diner.

“I would urge prospective buyers to contact the sales office as soon as possible, or they may miss out on the chance to own a home of their own at Twyford Square,” Mark added.

Twyford Square is conveniently located off Twyford Road in Eastleigh, adjacent to the River Itchen. The town’s Swan Shopping Centre, with its bars and restaurants, is within walking distance and the nearby M3 offers easy access to the south coast and to London.

It is only a short rail or bus ride to the maritime city of Southampton, which boasts the West Quay Shopping Centre and the Leisure World cinema and nightclub complex.
