Get a head start on a new home in Middlesbrough

Homebuyers could take advantage of a special deal at Parkside Gardens in Middlesbrough and move into a stylish new 3-bedroom townhouse for just £119,000.

Barratt North East is offering its Head Start low-cost purchase scheme for first-time buyers and key workers which means they could move in with just an 80 per cent mortgage.

Head Start brings the move-in price of a “Norbury” townhouse down from the usual £140,000.

It is one of the housebuilder’s best-selling designs and offers more than 1,100 sq ft of living space over three floors.

It includes a living room with dining area and French windows, fully-fitted breakfasting kitchen and a cloakroom, and luxurious top floor master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite.

“Parkside Gardens offers great value for money and a convenient location,” said Fenton Hewitt, Sales Director at Barratt North East.

“And with our Head Start scheme first-time buyers and key workers could move in for just 85 per cent of the price.

“They only need to pay a five per cent deposit and an 80 per cent mortgage, which means monthly repayments are more affordable. The remaining 15 per cent is covered by an interest-free loan from Barratt for up to ten years.

“It’s a great way to get onto the property ladder. I’d advise anyone interested to come and talk to us now.”

Barratt North East was given a maximum five star rating in the 2010 HBF customer satisfaction survey and for added peace of mind buyers can also benefit from the exclusive Barratt five year guarantee on fixtures and fittings.

Parkside Gardens is conveniently located close to the town centre and has proved popular with over 300 homes already sold.

Showhomes and the sales office on Clough Close are open daily from 10.00am to 5.00pm.
