Get a head start with a low deposit at Hardwick Green, Stockton

Buyers seeking space, style and value for money can find the solution at Hardwick Green in Stockton, where Barratt North East has a variety of homes and helpful deals on offer.

First-time buyers and key workers could move in for just 85 per cent of the usual price thanks to the housebuilder’s Head Start scheme.

Head Start is specifically designed for buyers who want to get on the housing ladder as soon as possible but don’t have the large deposit required by some lenders.

The scheme is offered on the popular “Woodcote” townhouse, which is available at Hardwick Green in 3-bedroom or 4-bedroom options.

The Woodcote offers almost 1,200 sq ft of living space over three floors and has an open-plan living and dining room with French windows into the garden, and a contemporary fitted breakfasting kitchen.

Head Start brings the move-in price down from £135,000 to £114,750, with buyers needing a deposit of just £5,738.

Fenton Hewitt, Sales Director at Barratt North East, said: “This is an ideal solution for first-time buyers who have been struggling to take advantage of lower house prices because of the twin obstacles of raising a deposit and getting a mortgage.

“With Head Start you would only need a five per cent deposit and an 80 per cent mortgage. That means lower monthly repayments and access to more affordable mortgage rates.

“The remaining 15 per cent is covered by an interest-free loan from Barratt for up to ten years.”

If you’re a homeowner wanting to move up to a new home, but can’t find a buyer for your current property, Barratt could buy your old place in just seven days through its famous part exchange service.

There are no estate agents’ fees to pay, there’s no chain to worry about, no last-minute price haggling and you can stay in your present place until your new home is ready.

Barratt has a selection of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes at Hardwick Green at prices starting from £95,500.

The development is well-located on the north western fringe of Stockton, with a range of amenities on the doorstep. It is growing into a real community, with more than 100 Barratt homes already occupied.
