After 18 months of searching, Dylan Parry and his partner Julie Morris from Gloucester, had almost given up all hope of affording their own home until they heard about the support they could get from using the Government and became Persimmon’s 1,000th HomeBuy Direct purchaser in finding their perfect home at The Marketplace development off St. Oswald’s Road in Gloucester.
Dylan (27) and his partner Julie (28) had been in rented accommodation and were becoming increasing frustrated that they were not investing in their future and their own bricks and mortar.
Dylan explained: “We were conscious that renting was like throwing money down the drain and yet we just couldn’t seem to find the right buying scheme that could help us achieve our dream of owning our own home.
“We just couldn’t believe that the HomeBuy Direct scheme meant that all we needed to find funding for was 70 per cent of the purchase price of a property.”
The remaining 30 per cent is made up by an interest and repayment free loan for the first five years and the scheme is eligible to those earning a household income of less than £60,000. The couple were delighted to find Persimmon’s The Marketplace development, which is situated in a fantastic location, just a five minute walk from the centre of town.
Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands, states: “The current phase of properties includes a number of houses, which won’t feature on our future releases, so if you’re looking for a brand new house through HomeBuy Direct I urge you to get in touch before you potentially miss out.”
Prices through HomeBuy Direct start from as little as £95,197 for the two bedroom Richmond coach house design and three bedroom homes start from just £135,796.
