First time buyers in Hertford enjoy free city commute
With the average age of a first time buyer now 38 and requiring an average deposit of £33,883* - a big ask for even the most stringent saver – first time buyers are looking for properties with incentives to help them find their first home.
Award-winning conservation & restoration specialist, City & Country Group is lending a helping hand to young house hunters this Bank Holiday weekend (Thursday 26th – Monday 30th May) at its Balls Park development in Hertford, offering valuable incentives, in a bid to provide them with ample opportunity to purchase their dream home on the stunning Grade I Listed country estate.
The weekend, which is taking place at convenient times for first-time buyers between 10 – 5pm on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and from 5 – 8pm on Thursday evening, creates an incredible opportunity for those looking for a means of securing their first home. Visitors will be able to view the spectacular show homes in The Stables, the first phase to launch, and talk to an independent financial adviser who will be on-hand to provide free and impartial advice. Whilst the homes already include all floor furnishings and integrated kitchen appliances, and thus incur no set-up costs, City & Country Group is making the move to Hertford even more affordable, providing all visitors who reserve an apartment at Balls Park this weekend, with an annual season ticket between Hertford and London, worth around £2000**, making the daily commute to work in the city even easier, and the homes an even wiser choice for cash-strapped purchasers. The homes offer a smooth commute from Hertford East station direct to London Liverpool Street in just 50 minutes.
Helen Moore, Managing Director at City & Country Residential, comments: “The homes at Balls Park are ideal for commuters who are looking for the chance to escape city life and want a stunning new apartment to come home to. The up-to-date interiors reflect modern city style, and, situated within easy reach of Hertford and London, residents can enjoy all the conveniences of an urban home in a beautiful rural location. This great offer of a season ticket from City & Country Group means that those who reserve this weekend will be able to take full advantage of the fast rail links to the Hertfordshire area, and we urge all those interested to act fast to ensure they can make the most of this offer and have their new home ready for summer. ”
The beautiful one and two bedroom apartments available at The Stables at Balls Park were originally part of the Grade II Listed stables outbuildings on the Grade I Listed Jacobean Mansion House grounds, and have been carefully restored by the expert team at City & Country Group, into a range of stylish contemporary homes. The new homes in The Stables are dressed to a superior standard and - boasting a complementary blend of traditional architecture and contemporary interior design - provide the very best of modern living in a unique historic setting. Bespoke kitchens with integrated appliances, 100% wool carpets and luxury bathrooms with white Vitra sanitaryware and Eurobath fittings demonstrate sleek and up-to-date interior style, whilst period intricacies, including restored oak floorboards, sash windows and exposed brickwork arches, retain the historic heritage of the building’s former use.
Set amidst 63 acres of beautiful parkland, listed on the English Heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, the homes at The Stables provide a calm oasis away from the crowds but still close to all the amenities of modern life. Located just a short 10-minute walk from all the shops, cafes, restaurants and bars in the vibrant town of Hertford, Balls Park is ideally situated to offer young buyers everything they need in close to their first home.
