Hundreds of househunters across the country who until recently have been priced out of the housing market have been able to buy a brand new home thanks to properties made available under Persimmon’s Government-supported, HomeBuy Direct scheme, which is why Persimmon Homes South Midlands is choosing to host a second event in Gloucester dedicated to the initiative.
Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands comments: “Househunters who visit our Gloucester developments, Kingsway, The Marketplace and The Maples, have not only been impressed with the homes on offer, but also the fact that we’re able to support them with moving onto the property ladder with an affordable price.
“It’s for this reason that we’re launching our second HomeBuy Direct weekend, which will take place at The Marketplace on 5th September from 11am to 5pm, to give further would-be homebuyers the chance to speak to a variety of experts including our sales advisers, a mortgage adviser and a HomeBuy Direct agent.”
Just weeks since the scheme was introduced, a staggering 272 properties have already been reserved across the country, and in the South Midlands region alone, the company has received 75 reservations in connection with the scheme.
Alison adds: “Our previous HomeBuy Direct weekend, hosted across our Gloucester sites was one of the most successful in the Persimmon Group, as we saw a total of five sales at our developments in the city.”
Alison concludes: “HomeBuy Direct is spectacular because being offered the chance to only have to pay 70 per cent of the price, plus having an interest free loan for five years, is a fantastic offer to young couples and first time buyers who, until now, have been priced out of the market.
“With schemes as good as this coming onto the market, I firmly believe that this is undoubtedly the best time to buy property. I’m delighted that we have already been able to help hundreds of young buyers, re-entrants and those who have been renting to own their own home and I am confident, with our help, many more house buyers will be able to make the move this year.”

HomeBuy Direct is available at a selection of Persimmon’s most popular developments, including Kingsway, The Maples and The Marketplace in Gloucester. To find out more about how the scheme can work for you, contact the sales team on 01452 726443.
HomeBuy Direct is a Government scheme designed to help house buyers who are priced out of the housing market in their local area buy a brand new home in a much more affordable way. Persimmon has the largest developers’ allocation of HomeBuy Direct with around 2,700 homes at 194 developments throughout all parts of England.
The scheme is aimed to put households with incomes below £60,000 and who may not have adequate funds for a significant deposit in a position where they can afford to purchase a new build home on the open market. House buyers are only required to raise funding for 70 per cent of the purchase price, including a mortgage. The remaining 30 per cent is made up by a 25 year loan, interest free for first five years, which is co-funded by the Government and Persimmon Homes.

HERE’S A DEAL THAT’S BETTER THAN PART EXCHANGE
George Wimpey is helping house hunters in North Gloucestershire get moving, thanks to a part exchange package which offers much more than traditional schemes.
As well as purchasing your old house at an agreed price, George Wimpey also pays estate agent’s fees, HIP fee, survey fee and legal costs and scores of house hunters have already taken advantage of the service.
Richard Goad, regional sales and marketing director for George Wimpey, said: “We originally introduced our ‘Better Than Part Exchange’ proposition at a couple of selected developments earlier this year but it has proved so popular that we have decided to roll it out across all our developments in the region.
“We know that purchasers still need to move up the property ladder, but are concerned about finding a buyer on the open market. Others have had offers, but have been let down by collapsed chains or buyers pulling out. We can help remove some of that uncertainty as well as helping to save a considerable amount of money on associated moving costs which aren’t included in traditional part exchange schemes.”
George Wimpey’s ‘Better Than Part Exchange’ scheme is available in North Gloucestershire at Centurion Walk on Hucclecote Road and Royal Park in Kingsway Village. For expert advice free of charge, the housebuilder can arrange appointments with a range of professionals, including an Independent Financial Advisor to offer assistance in finding the right mortgage and property valuations from local estate agents.
Richard adds: “It really is a great way to take the stress out of moving, relieve the worry of broken property chains and save the time and expense of finding the right buyer. And of course, with no chain to maintain, your move can be arranged so you’re in your new home at Centurion Walk or Royal Park on time and on schedule.”
Centurion Walk is an exclusive development of just 59 traditionally-built one and two bedroom apartments, two bedroom coach houses and three and four bedroom houses in Gloucester. Prices start at just £119,995.
Royal Park is a stylish range of two bedroom coach houses and two, three and four bedroom houses in Quedgeley, priced from £134,995.
