New view home showcases life at The Paddocks
Giving buyers even more to see and showing off the style and specification of its nine remaining homes in Ashford, Kent, Redrow has opened the doors to a new view home at The Paddocks.
The three-bedroom ‘Fairwood’ house is perfect for young families, couples or even friends sharing and has a spacious layout to suite many types of buyers. The view home has been kitted out with carpets and light fittings but the decor has been left as a blank canvas so buyers can imagine how they would put their own unique design stamp on this home.
It’s a great time to buy at the Paddocks as Redrow is offering some fantastic incentives on the final homes. It’s also the very last chance to buy with help from the Government-backed HomeBuy Direct scheme.
Eligible home buyers can take out an equity loan for up to 30% of the purchase price on selected Redrow properties at the popular development, making home ownership cheaper and easier to achieve.
Just three miles from Ashford town centre, where the high speed train link to London takes just 37 minutes, The Paddocks is perfectly placed for commuters.
Beryl Williams, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (Eastern), said: “We’re delighted to still have HomeBuy Direct available on selected homes at The Paddocks, but time is running out for people who want to benefit, as purchases have to be legally complete by the end of September.
“It’s the ideal way for first time buyers to step on to the property ladder as the loan is interest free for the first five years and hopefully they won’t need a large cash deposit. Purchasers may even find that monthly mortgage repayments work out cheaper than the rent would be for an equivalent property.”
Under HomeBuy Direct first time buyers, key workers and people re-entering the property market after a relationship break-up are among those who can apply for these homes – provided their annual household income is less than £60,000.
Customers will own 100% of their home from day one – but only have to pay between 70 and 85% of the purchase price. They can start purchasing the remaining share in instalments after just 12 months.
Two-bedroom homes are currently available from £159,950 so, with a 30% equity loan through HomeBuy Direct, purchasers could find themselves catapulted onto the property ladder for an initial outlay of just £111,965.
A three-bedroom Fairwood, like the new view home, can be purchased for an initial outlay of £122,465. This house type has a large lounge / dining room to the rear of the property with patio doors leading out on to the garden to bring the outside in and take the indoors out. There’s also a separate kitchen, convenient downstairs cloakroom and additional storage space on the ground floor. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, an en-suite to the master bedroom and a family bathroom.
Ashford boasts two shopping centres with many popular high street stores, as well as a designer outlet centre on the outskirts of the town centre, a popular market, restaurants, pubs and hotels.
There’s easy access to the M20, connecting to the M26 and M25 and, for those who like to travel further afield, the town enjoys fast links to the continent via the Eurostar at Ashford International station.
For further details visit the development, which is open daily from 10am to 5.30pm.
