Buying your own dream home could be easier than you think

Buying a new home at Valiant Square in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire, could be a lot easier than most people think, thanks to Storey Homes ‘We Can Make It Happen’ positive approach to home buying. With part exchange and shared ownership schemes available, and a sales team ready to recommend ways forward for every customer, there really is an opportunity for everyone to buy their own dream house!

Matthew Storey, Director of Storey Homes comments: “We want to show people that they can buy their own family home with a package that suits their specific circumstances. Through part exchange, Storey will help buyers move by considering part exchange on the full market value of their existing property or, in the event of a collapsed sale, on another property in the chain.”

Matthew continues: “Alternatively, our shared equity scheme is interest free for 10 years and offers customers with restricted deposits and monthly budgeting constraints a way forward. Through this scheme a four bedroom detached former officer’s house starts from just £203,957 based on an 85% share of the full market value of £239,950.”

Due to Storey Homes’ commitment to helping buyers, there are only four properties currently available. Of the properties sold, 56% of purchasers have part exchanged their former homes whilst 21% have taken advantage of the shared equity scheme.

Valiant Square comprises a stunning collection of 27, four bedroom detached homes on the former Ministry of Defence site at Ramsey. Each property has been carefully refurbished and upgraded to provide excellent family homes that offer all the contemporary comforts of a brand new home in a development that has already matured into its rural setting.

Phase 1 includes two different styles, all with new kitchens and bathrooms and most with a garage. A striking feature is the woodland/country walk that meanders through the development, creating a residential enclave that blends with the beautiful open countryside that surrounds it.

Valiant Square formerly provided accommodation for married officers serving at RAF Upwood, which originally opened in 1917 and closed in 1995 and which played a major role in the character and recent history of nearby Bury and Ramsey.

The refurbished homes feature a newly fitted kitchen with utility room, dining room and sitting room on the ground floor plus four spacious bedrooms and a newly fitted bathroom upstairs.

Ramsey is a historic market town founded around the Benedictine Abbey in the 10th Century; the Medieval Gatehouse remains today. The bustling town provides a selection of shops, cafes and public houses, amply accommodating everyday needs. For fitness enthusiasts there is a sports centre, bowls club, tennis clubs and Ramsey Golf club within easy reach. Families are also well catered for, with a good selection of primary, secondary and sixth form schools.

Situated just a few minutes from the A1 running north and south and within 15 minutes of the A14 running east and west, residents have easy access to surrounding towns and villages. Huntington is around 20 minutes away and Peterborough can be reached in 25 minutes; both are served by mainline railway stations into London.

Prices at Valiant Square start from £203,957 for a four-bedroom detached home. For further information, vsit storey-homes.co.uk.
