Lioncourt Homes hosts a special FirstBuy information weekend on 15th and 16th October at Kings View, Quedgeley

For a chance to meet financial experts and find out how the Government backed FirstBuy scheme could benefit you, come along to the special FirstBuy weekend at Lioncourt Homes Kings View site, Kingsway Quedgeley on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th October between 10am and 5.30pm.

Lioncourt Homes have teamed up with financial advisors Dupree Mortgage Services to offer one to one advice sessions to enable customers to work out exactly how the new scheme could help them to own their new Lioncourt Home. FirstBuy allows customers to own 100% of their home at only 80% of the purchase price. Customers will receive a loan from the Government and Lioncourt Homes for 20% of the price. There is no interest to pay on the loan for the first five years and a deposit from as little as 4% is all that is required.

Chief Executive of Lioncourt Homes, Colin Cole, commented, ‘ We are delighted to be hosting this special FirstBuy weekend to give our customers a real chance to fully understand how the scheme works and how it could help them own a brand new Lioncourt home. We are pleased to be able to offer a choice of different three and four bedroom homes all built to our high specification on the scheme. For example with FirstBuy, a three bedroom semi-detached Lime with garage and parking is available at just £131,996.’*

Gerry Dupree added, ‘A wide range of people are eligible for this scheme. Any household with a combined income of up to £60,000 can apply. It really does offer so much more affordability for those looking to buy for the first time or someone who currently doesn’t own their own home and fulfils the criteria. We look forward to meeting anyone who would like to visit the Lioncourt Homes marketing suite throughout the special FirstBuy weekend to find out more.’

SPRING INTO YOUR NEW HOME THANKS AN ‘EGGSTRA’ SPECIAL DEAL WITH PERSIMMON

A beautiful brand new three bedroom home, located close to the thriving centre of the city, available from just £135,797* – it has to be an April Fool right? Well, thanks to Persimmon Homes South Midlands this is no joke as purchasers at the popular The Marketplace development in Gloucester have been taking advantage of the competitively priced housetypes on offer.

“At Persimmon we’re keen to enable a wide variety of purchaser groups to get a foothold on the property ladder, which is why we have priced our homes at The Marketplace with first time buyers, young and growing families and those looking to downsize in mind,” comments Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands.

She adds: “To give househunters a good idea of how their home will look, we’ve launched our ‘cracking’ brand new showhome, which will open its doors to the public at our open weekend this Easter.”

Over the Easter weekend Persimmon is welcoming interested parties to come and speak with the sales advisers about their requirements and learn about the special range of incentives on offer. These include 70 per cent shared equity HomeBuy Direct, part exchange to help those with homes to sell and even the offer of a five per cent deposit match by Persimmon on selected plots, which all go towards helping to make the moving process that much simpler and more affordable.

Visitors will also have the chance to be one of the first househunters to take a tour around the newly professionally styled and much anticipated three bedroom Denbigh showhome, which has been dressed with a vibrant springtime look with fresh blues and soft creams.

Alison states: “We chose the Denbigh design as our showhome as it represents one of our most popular housetypes at the development and it enables visitors to visualise themselves in this attractive property.”

Prices at The Marketplace start from £135,797 for the Denbigh through the acclaimed 70 per cent shared equity HomeBuy Direct scheme for the Denbigh, which is £193,995 on the open market. Alternative designs include the three bedroom Crescent design which is priced from £196,500.
