Weston Homes proves popular with first timers in Hertfordshire

What House? Housebuilder of the Year Weston Homes’ Hertfordshire developments Charter Place and The Meads are continuing to experience a high demand of interest from first time buyers looking to own a property in these sought after locations.
There is also a big added incentive for first time buyers, with Weston Homes now offering a gifted contribution of 5% to help towards your deposit.
Charter Place and The Meads both widely appeal to first time buyers, due to being in prime locations in Hertfordshire, surrounded by local amenities and within walking distance of the mainline stations, offering quick and easy access into London, in addition to being affordable.
Charter Place, set in the beautiful and historic city of St Albans, and has sold almost half of the apartments since launching only two months ago in March 2011, with eight, one and two bedroom apartments available.
There are now only seven, one and two bedroom apartments remaining at The Meads, Hertford’s leading riverside development, boasting value for money and modern and stylish living. There is also a ‘ready to buy’ incentive for first time buyers, with furniture packs allowing you to move into a fully furnished apartment.
Bob Weston, Chairman and Chief Executive of Weston Homes, comments: “Both developments appeal to a wide range of buyers, but the interest from first time buyers has been high, with very competitive prices and excellent transport and commuter links.
“Charter Place and The Meads have both proved to be particularly successful developments in Hertfordshire. Charter Place was only launched two months ago and is nearly 50% sold, with many to first time buyers. The demand for riverside homes means The Meads has sold well and with only seven apartments remaining in the final phase, now really is the last chance to buy.”
