Expert advice for first time buyers in Rushden

Experts are urging first time buyers in Rushden to take advantage of first time buyer schemes to help them take their first steps onto the property market.

According to housebuilder Morris – the developer behind the Pemberton Gate development, off Shirley Road – first time buyers offers, like Morris Great Start scheme, is the best option for first timers wanting to take the leap into homeownership as they reduce the amount you need for a deposit and cut down the price of monthly repayments.

One couple to benefit from a first time buyers scheme is Eleanor Ibbott and Steven Jackman, both 27, who recently bought their first two bedroom mews style home at Pemberton Gate.

Steven said: “The range of schemes Morris offered gave us the opportunity we were waiting for to get on the ladder. It meant we could afford the home of our dreams without having to save for years just for the deposit.

“The sales lady on site was extremely helpful and made our first homebuying experience easy and understandable.”

Cindy Vials, regional sales director for Morris, said: “For many first time buyers the daunting part of home ownership is understanding mortgages but thanks to schemes, like Morris’ Great Start, buying your first property can be simple and confusion free.”

The popular Great Start scheme, which enables qualifying first time buyers and key workers to purchase a new home with a mortgage for just 80 per cent of its market value, is available on selected properties at Morris’ Pemberton Gate.

Morris currently has a selection of properties available under the Great Start scheme at Pemberton Gate starting from just £67,950*.
