Stylish first homes in West Bromwich

First time buyers in the West Midlands are being offered an affordable first step towards independence by Redrow Homes.

One and two-bedroom apartments, starting from just £81,250, are available at Charter Place in Oldbury, near West Bromwich, providing young buyers with the opportunity to fly the nest.

Research from the National Housing Federation* found that 18 to 30-year-olds were being forced to stay at home with their families or friends because they think they can’t afford to move out. With this in mind, providing affordable starter homes for young people has never been more important.

At Charter Place two different styles of apartment, a one-bedroom Avon, starting from £81,250 and a two-bedroom Argal, from £96,500, are available to view – complete with flooring, light fittings and window dressings to enable would-be buyers to imagine their full potential.

“We understand that customers want to be able to look around a property to get a feel for what it would be like to live in,” said Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands).

“We had two sales during the first weekend of opening the view apartments and we are confident that the homes will be snapped up because they are very affordable and easy to maintain. This is particularly important for young buyers who want to enjoy their new surroundings and not spend time and money on the levels of maintenance and decorating that would be required in an older property.”

Charter Place is located close to shops and amenities and is just a mile from the stunning Woodgate Valley Country Park. It is an ideal location for young professionals commuting to Wolverhampton and Birmingham city centre and boasts excellent transport networks, being just two miles from the M5 motorway.

The apartments are light and spacious and feature contemporary kitchens and bathrooms, with the two-bedroom apartments including an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom.
