With Persimmon Homes South Midlands building at a number of desirable locations across the historic city of Gloucester, the developer is constructing homes to suit a variety of househunters, and with the company’s commitment to the widely acclaimed Government led initiative HomeBuy Direct, never before have the company’s homes been more affordable. 

Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands, explains the initiative: “HomeBuy Direct is a 70 per cent shared equity scheme we have become involved with, in fact Persimmon as a Group is so committed to the initiative that we have the largest allocation of properties on offer through HomeBuy Direct than any other developer. 

“As part of the scheme househunters will be required to raise funding, including a mortgage plus any small deposit where available, of at least 70 per cent of the purchase price. The remaining 30 per cent will be made up by an equity loan which is co-funded by the Government and Persimmon Homes.” 

Households earning less than £60,000 who can not otherwise afford to purchase a suitable property unassisted on the open market will be eligible to apply. 

Persimmon’s popular Gloucester sites have been selected to support HomeBuy Direct, these include:

 

The Marketplace, Gloucester

Situated in Gloucester’s stylish city centre, Persimmon’s collection of four bedroom Crescent design are ideal for expanding families as the living space is found on three floors, meaning families can come together to socialise, but also benefit from being able to escape to solitude away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Through HomeBuy Direct the Crescent housetype is available from £131,247.

 

The Maples, 

At Persimmon’s select development, The Maples, a spacious three/four bedroom Leicester property is on offer to growing families and is priced at an affordable £131,250 via HomeBuy Direct, making it both an attractive and affordable option for househunters.

Kingsway, Quedgeley

Likewise, a three bedroom detached Rushton design, located at the company’s Quedgeley development is available to young families for just £114,097. 

Alison concludes: “At Persimmon we’re dedicated to supporting people onto or up the property ladder, no matter what their budget or financial constraints and I truly believe the housetypes selected for HomeBuy Direct at our Gloucester development will appeal to a broad spectrum of purchasers all looking to find their own dream home.”
