Get a head start at Fellview in Consett

Homebuyers could take advantage of a special deal at Fellview in Consett and move into a stylish new 2-bedroom home for just £80,745.

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

The low-cost purchase scheme brings the move-in price of a “Washington” terraced house down from £94,995.

This is a popular design with homebuyers, who appreciate its open-plan layout, two double bedrooms and 624 sq ft of living space. It includes a living room with dining area and French windows, fully-fitted kitchen complete with oven, hob and hood, and cloakroom.

Head Start is also available on a 3-bedroom “Palmerston” terraced home at the development, enabling a buyer to move in for just £93,500 rather than the usual price of £109,995.

It is one of the housebuilder’s best-selling homes and offers over 750 sq ft of well-designed living space. It has an open-plan living room, fully-fitted kitchen with dining area and French windows, and a cloakroom. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a single, and the family bathroom.

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