Grass is greener for first time buyers at Fieldways

Buyers looking to enter the property market for the first time are getting a helping hand from Barratt at Fieldways in Paulton.

The housebuilder is launching a new three bedroom view home at the popular North Somerset development – and first time buyers can make one their own thanks to a special scheme called Head Start.

“We are keen to make it as easy as possible for buyers to turn the dream of owning their own home into a reality,” said Barratt sales director, Andrea Pilgrim. “That’s why we are offering Head Start to buyers of our outstanding new Enford home. This is a shared equity scheme that allows buyers to secure a home for just 85 per cent of the asking price.

“The remaining 15 per cent is funded through a deferred Barratt loan. And buyers don’t have to pay this until the home is sold again or in ten years, whichever is sooner.”

The Enford is a beautifully-designed three bedroom house. It has an entrance hall with a handy downstairs cloakroom. And the spacious lounge has french doors leading out to the garden and there is a separate dining room.

The kitchen features attractive, fitted modern units and there is a breakfasting area for more informal dining. Upstairs, there are three large bedrooms – and the master has an en suite facility. There is also a colour-coordinated family bathroom.

“Getting in to that first home is one of the most difficult challenges facing buyers today,” said Andrea. “We want to provide everyone with the chance to live in a home of their own – and Head Start is the perfect tool for us. The Enford is ideal as a first home because it offers so much space to grow in to. And, at £194,995 – or just £165,745 with Head Start – which brings it within for many more buyers taking advantage of the scheme.

“So, if it is just the financial side causing a problem, it is definitely worth paying us a visit at Fieldways.”

Fieldways is located in Paulton and is well served by well known supermarkets and other local amenities – including schools, churches, pubs and restaurants.
