Ho ho home in on Christmas deals in Bedford

Houghton Manor in Houghton Conquest, Bedford is proving so popular that buyers need to act quickly if they want to secure one of the two remaining family sized houses at the development.

To date, the Bloor Homes development has attracted a wide range of purchasers including couples, families and downsizers, thus creating a vibrant new community. The two remaining houses are ‘The Wootton’, a three bedroom home, and ‘The Elstow’, a four bedroom detached property. For a limited period only, anyone who reserves either home can move in for free! Bloor Homes will pay the stamp duty, legal fees on purchase, survey fees, turf to rear garden and £1,000 towards removal costs.

If this isn’t enough to tempt buyers, Bloor Homes is offering an opportunity to purchase through its BloorHomesStart2 plan. Under the terms of the scheme, purchasers need only finance 90% of the property’s value to take ownership and move in. The remaining 10% is to be paid back at market value up to 10 years later or upon selling the property, whichever event comes first. Unlike many shared equity schemes, there is no additional interest on the loan or rent payable on the 10% share. With this initiative, purchasers could secure the 3 bedroom Wootton for £224,955.

Alternatively, buyers who already own a property can take advantage of Bloor Homes’ 105% part exchange deal. With this, purchasers are given an additional 5% of their property value, providing more money to put down on a deposit for their new home.

Vanessa Macnee, Sales Director for Bloor Homes South Midlands, comments: “Houghton Manor offers the opportunity to be part of a small community but at the same time close enough to the vibrant centre of Bedford. With only two properties remaining, we would advise interested purchasers to contact us as there is still time for purchasers to be in their new home for Christmas!”

Designed and built to a high specification, both homes offer the ideal surroundings for a 21st century family. The Wootton features a large kitchen/breakfast room and separate lounge area on the ground floor, both of which have French doors opening into the garden. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite and fitted wardrobes. A separate family bathroom is also provided.

Meanwhile, the four bedroom Elstow is a more traditional family home with two separate reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast area with adjoining utility room plus a separate study. There are four double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. A family bathroom is also provided.
