Why rent when you can buy in Wrexham?

Escape the rental trap to an affordable home of your own in Wrexham with help from Redrow.

The award-winning housebuilder has now released two-bedroom apartments for sale at Pentre Bach. They’re the perfect solution for those who are tired of wasting their hard-earned cash on rent and with the help of Redrow’s ‘easi:buy’ scheme customers could find that homeownership is more affordable than they realised.

Elaine Mounsey, sales manager for Redrow Homes (NW), commented: “According to property website Zoopla*, renting is now more expensive than owning in 80% of towns and cities and the difference is rising. It means that instead of asking if they can afford to buy, those who are caught in the rental trap should be asking themselves if they can afford not to buy.”

Two-bedroom apartments at Pentre Bach are now available from just £97,995 or an initial outlay of just £83,296 with ‘easi:buy’.

The valuable help is a welcome boost to those who would otherwise be priced out of the housing market as it allows customers to defer paying up to 15% of the purchase price interest free for up to 10 years.

The outstanding balance can be repaid at any time over the 10 years when the purchaser has more funds available or when they come to resell. The ‘easi:buy’ payment is subject to terms and conditions, with the deferred element is paid back at market value at the time of payment.

“It can be hard trying to save money for a deposit while you’re paying rent, but with ‘easi:buy’ you should only need to raise a relatively small deposit of around £4,000 to buy an apartment at Pentre Bach,” Elaine commented.

“And unlike some older, second hand properties they won’t require lots of repairs and renovations before you can move in. Just like our family homes, the apartments boast high specification interiors including kitchens with integrated top brand name appliances and bathrooms that enjoy quality fixtures and fittings. Well insulated, with central heating and double glazing included as standard they’re also efficient to run, enabling homeowners to keep warm in the winter without having to worry about hefty fuel bills.”

An easy to follow video guide to ‘easi:buy’ is available to view at the award-winning online television channel Redrow.tv.
