Owning costs less than renting with FirstBuy in Bridgwater
Buying a home could make more financial sense than renting for buyers at Barratt’s latest developments in and around Bridgwater.
The housebuilder is providing a range of attractive new homes with tempting price tags to match. And, with offers in place to help first time buyers take their first steps into the property market, Barratt is winning favour among those who might previously have chosen to rent a property nearby.
“We are pleased to present buyers in this region with a selection of beautifully-designed new homes,” said Barratt sales manager, Emma Smith. “House prices in the cities surrounding us have stayed consistently high and most people feel their only option is to rent.
“But we are providing an alternative for those looking to take their first steps onto the property ladder – called FirstBuy.”
Under FirstBuy, buyers will be offered a loan of up to 20 per cent of the price of the property, jointly funded by Barratt and the Government’s Homes and Communities Agency.
Buyers then only have to find the remaining 80 per cent of the price themselves – with the mortgage and deposit.
This gives buyers in and around Bridgwater a fantastic chance of owning their own home,” said Emma. “And there are a number of exciting developments to choose from – including Festival and Wilstock.
“Visitors to these developments will find a range of one, two and three bedroom homes, priced from just £144,950 and each offering the perfect opportunity to realise the dream of becoming a homeowner.
“Festival is situated in a beautiful location, alongside the canal and the picturesque River Parrett. But it has excellent transport links to the surrounding towns and cities.
“And Wilstock is located within the thriving community of North Petherton, offering a range of amenities, including a new primary school. And, for lovers of the great outdoors, there is a beautiful country park to explore.”
