Stunning homes available with shared equity

With a report detailing that the combination of steady house prices and the rising cost of renting, it’s once again cheaper to buy a property.

This will come as welcome news for first time buyers in Hellingly as properties at Persimmon Homes’ picturesque Roebuck Park development are priced extremely competitively to allow young purchasers to buy their first home with relative financial ease.

“We’re seeing a great number of new visitors to our attractive Roebuck Park development in Hellingly, all looking to take their first step onto the property ladder instead of being caught out in the rental market,” states Julia Price, sales director for Persimmon Homes South East.

Persimmon hosts a beautiful selection of two, three, four and five bedroom housetypes in a range of differing styles, and selected plots are still eligible for the Government-led HomeBuy Direct scheme.

Julia continues: “We are one of just a handful of developers still able to offer the extremely successful 70 per cent shared equity HomeBuy Direct scheme, which runs until December, meaning homebuyers can purchase one of our beautiful two bedroom properties from just £129,497.”

In fact, the scheme makes purchasing a home cheaper than renting. Comparable properties in the area cost around £650 per month to rent which is £50 more than the average mortgage repayment when buying through Persimmon’s incentive scheme.

Although a brownfield site, Roebuck Park is being constructed within a beautiful parkland setting, with a central area of public open space and a number of traditionally British allotments being created, Persimmon’s flagship development is quickly becoming ‘the’ destination in Hellingly.

Roebuck Park offers a relaxed lifestyle as it is situated adjacent to beautiful countryside, with 48 acres of land being preserved for open space, a cricket green, sports pavilion and play areas, for the whole community to enjoy. Persimmon is committed to the wider area and will be funding initiatives such as local schools, a library, the local infrastructure and creation of cycle routes.

The attractive market town of Hailsham is located just two miles from the development and provides a wide selection of local shops, a supermarket, restaurants and pubs as well as leisure pursuits such as a gym, swimming pool, cinema and art gallery.
