Hurry for HomeBuy Direct in Little Stanion

First-time buyers and those on restricted incomes need to act fast if they want help from the HomeBuy Direct scheme to buy at Lagan Homes’ immensely popular Long Meadow Walk development in Little Stanion, near Corby.

The Government-backed scheme, which enables households earning less than £60,000 a year to buy a home for 70% of the purchase price, is to end on 16th July. That means that purchasers need to submit applications as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Long Meadow Walk has been a huge hit with young and first-time buyers, who have been using HomeBuy Direct to get their feet on the property ladder. Under the scheme, buyers fund 70% of the purchase price with a deposit of just 5%. The remaining 30% is provided as an equity loan, which the buyer can purchase in instalments after they have moved in, so that over time they own 100% of the property. Alternatively, they can proportionally share the remaining equity when the house is sold.

The quality of the properties at Long Meadow Walk proves that affordability and desirability can go together. In the kitchen, spotlight-cluster light fittings, a stainless steel sink with mono bloc taps and an integrated stainless steel electric fan oven, gas hob and cooker hob come as standard, while bathrooms have a stunning white contemporary suite with chrome taps and accessories. Some homes have a separate dressing area to the master bedrooms, while others are equipped with built-in wardrobes. All have a front or back garden. Prices start at just £69,950 for a two-bedroom apartment bought through HomeBuy Direct and the scheme has enabled many first-time buyers to acquire a home in this desirable corner of Northamptonshire.
