First time buyers attracted to Derby city centre living
Housebuilder Morris is tipping Derby city centre as a key attraction for first time homebuyers following a surge of interest at its City Point development.
According to Morris – developer behind the City Point development, on London Road – the bustling atmosphere of the city centre and the convenience of urban living is a winning combination for young professionals looking to set up home.
Cindy Vials, regional sales director for Morris, said “The City Point development has become increasingly popular with younger people wanting to get onto the property ladder because of its great location.
“It has the advantage of being within close proximity to the city centre, and its new Westfield shopping centre and Showcase cinema, as well the beauty of being in a local area surrounded by beautiful parks – making it the perfect location for starting a home.”
Morris is also offering a variety of schemes at the City Point development that can eliminate the hassle of buying a home for the first time.
The Government-led HomeBuy Direct scheme is being offered on a limited number of properties at the development which enables qualifying first time buyers to purchase a new home with a mortgage for just 70 per cent of its value and without needing a large deposit.
A range of two bedroom apartments and three bedroom townhouses at the City Point development are available under HomeBuy Direct starting from just £73,325.*
Morris also provide a range of tailor made ‘furniture packages’ which include carpets, curtains, a washer dryer, and a fridge freezer, as well as a comprehensive range of furniture, cutlery, crockery, bedding, lamp-shades and a 32” LCD TV with DVD player – so buyers can start enjoying their new home as soon as they move in.
