Determined step onto the property ladder but are concerned that you don’t have enough funds to do so? Heard the word FirstBuy but don’t completely understand what the new home moving scheme is all about?

If so, you need to pay a visit to Persimmon Homes’ The Marketplace development in Gloucester where the Government-led 80 per cent FirstBuy scheme is now on offer.

Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands, is confident the initiative will help local househunters. She said: “As a Group Persimmon Homes has been given the largest allocation of properties through FirstBuy by the Government and we are delighted to offer the scheme to purchasers at our The Marketplace development.”

Through FirstBuy purchasers will own 100 per cent of their new home and are required to raise funding (a mortgage plus deposit) of at least 80 per cent of the purchase price. The remaining 20 per cent is an interest free loan for the first five years.

The Marketplace hosts a beautiful collection of sizeable two bedroom Nailsworth apartments, with prices through the FirstBuy scheme starting from as little as £98,396 and to give interested parties an idea of how these designs will look, Persimmon has opened a new Nailsworth show apartment.

To find out more about the FirstBuy scheme, log onto www.persimmonhomes.com/firstbuy.

Alison concludes: “Due to a limited supply of housetypes through the FirstBuy initiative, I’d recommend househunters speak to our sales advisers sooner rather than later as there are just three Nailsworth apartments remaining in the current release of properties at The Marketplace.”

LOCATION, VIEW AND STYLE, PERSIMMON HAS IT ALL

After much-anticipation Persimmon has now launched not one but two stunning new view apartments at the highly sought-after The Marketplace development in Gloucester, giving would-be homebuyers a first glimpse of how these stunning properties will look.

“Proving that apartments can suit a wide variety of differing purchaser groups, in addition to our two bedroom Nailsworth apartment we’ve also dressed our beautiful three bedroom Kelmscott design, which is attracting a great deal of interest not just from first time buyers, but families and downsizers due to its size and wonderful views over open countryside,” states Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands.

Visitors to the Kelmscott, will be impressed not only with the size of the design, but its practical layout too. The apartment includes a well proportioned lounge and dining room with either a terrace or balcony to enjoy. There is an attractive kitchen and a generous master bedroom with handy en suite as well as two further bedrooms, which are ideal for guests or family, plus a family bathroom and ample storage throughout.

Meanwhile the Nailsworth design is the perfect option for executives and couples looking for somewhere truly special to call home. The design is already proving popular as there are just three Nailsworths remaining, which all enjoy stunning views of the neighbouring countryside.

Alison continues: “The success of The Marketplace means we have already sold one block of apartments and all our houses are now reserved. If you’re in the market for a brand new contemporary home, then a trip to our Gloucester development is a must.”

Prices start from just £95,996 for a two bedroom design through Persimmon’s 80 per cent shared equity scheme, several of the apartments come complete with either a garage or car port.

The Marketplace benefits from the best of both worlds, located off St Oswald’s Road, which is nestled into the Gloucestershire countryside yet just a short walk from the centre of the city. As well as excellent new housing, residents will enjoy a whole host of superb local facilities from a large retail and gym complex to coffee shops, restaurants and supermarkets, plus the local rugby ground which is situated close by.

PERSIMMON CONTINUES TO OFFER SUCCESSFUL HOMEBUY DIRECT SCHEME

The team at Persimmon Homes South Midlands are celebrating as the company has a received further allocation of properties under the Government-led HomeBuy Direct scheme at its The Marketplace development in Gloucester.

The initiative, which allows first time buyers and key workers to own 100 per cent of their home after initially paying for just 70 per cent of the asking price, has been a great success in Gloucester, as it has enabled a greater number of youngsters starting out on the property ladder to buy their first home.

Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes: “The HomeBuy Direct scheme is a real positive step, helping to restore the growing confidence and stability in the property market by giving customers who may have limited funding a real opportunity to purchase their own a new home.”

The scheme aims to assist households with a combined income below £60,000 and who may not have adequate funds for a significant deposit. House buyers are only required to secure funding for 70 per cent of the purchase price, including a mortgage and a small deposit. The remaining 30 per cent is made up by an interest and repayment free loan for the first five years, which is co-funded by the Government and Persimmon Homes.

The Marketplace offers a selection of two, three and four bedroom properties, with prices starting from as little as £135,995 for the two bedroom coach house design. Through HomeBuy Direct prices at the development start from £135,797 for the three bedroom mid terraced Denbigh design.

The Marketplace is located off St Oswald’s Road, just a short walk from the centre of Gloucester. When complete the development will feature a total of 450 properties, ranging from one and two bedroom apartments to two, three and four bedroom homes, available in a variety of styles, from townhouses to traditional family homes.
As well as excellent new housing, residents of The Marketplace can enjoy a whole host of superb local facilities from a large retail and leisure complex to an improved infrastructure network and the vicinity of city centre bars and restaurants.

Further information on the HomeBuy Direct scheme can be found at www.michaeltuck.co.uk For further information about the range of properties available at The Marketplace, please contact Michael Tuck New Homes on 01452 726443

CHOICE IN ABUNDANCE FOUND AT PERSIMMON’S KINGSWAY DEVELOPMENT

If you’re looking for a property which boasts ample living space, in a sought-after location in Gloucester, at a price you can afford, then Persimmon Homes South Midlands’ Kingsway development will be right up your street, as it offers all three in abundance.

“No matter what your taste, requirements or budgets, we have a property to suit you as we have such a wide selection of housetypes on offer at Kingsway which are appealing to first time buyers, couples, young and growing families as well as those looking to downsize,” states Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands.

Persimmon has reported that it is selling the properties at Kingsway ahead of schedule with househunters taking advantage of the reasonably priced homes on offer. Alison adds: “We’re selling at least one property a week at the moment, demonstrating the appeal of what we have available.”

To make the buying process that much more affordable, Persimmon is also offering the 70 per cent shared equity HomeBuy Direct initiative, to enable those earning less than £60,000 to purchase 100 per cent of their home for initially just 70 per cent of the marketed price. The remaining 30 per cent is made up by an equity loan which is co-funded by the Government and Persimmon Homes.

Under the scheme, purchasers could secure their brand new housetype at Kingsway for just £97,997 for the coach house design.

Persimmon’s latest phase of housetypes at the development include a selection of three and four bedroom properties with prices start from £161,995 (£117,997 with HomeBuy Direct) and £229,995 respectively. Also on offer is the beautiful two bedroom coach house, which is ideal for first time buyers and is priced at £139,995 (£97,997 through HomeBuy Direct).

Alison concludes: “The number of visitors we’re welcoming each week and the speed of reservations means that there will soon be limited availability for each housetype, so I’d recommend those thinking of moving home soon come and visit our Kingsway development before they potentially miss out.”

Located on the southern boundary of Gloucester, Kingsway is just a short drive from the city centre and the M5, for easy access to Stroud and Bristol to the south and Cheltenham, Worcester and Birmingham to the north.

Persimmon is not only building new homes but as part of the consortium an entire new community is being developed too. Kingsway Village already boasts a new school, and future developments will include community centre, health and sport facilities including a cricket square, a pavilion and tennis courts, as well as shops, play areas and parkland.

With easy access to Gloucester city centre and its excellent amenities, the development offers modern living in an exciting new destination. Gloucester is an excellent location with a good road network enabling residents to enjoy semi rural life with access to nearby towns and cities.

“Our latest 70 per cent shared equity HomeBuy Direct event in Gloucester was a fantastic success,” reports Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands. She adds: “We received more interest in our new homes through the scheme than ever before and achieved a number of sales across our two remaining Gloucester sites, with 13 sales across the two developments in the last month alone.”

At the event, which was hosted at Persimmon’s The Marketplace development in Gloucester, several eager first time buyers, from young professionals, couples and families visited the site, with the prospect of finally getting a foothold on the property ladder.

On the day sales advisers from Persimmon’s sites, The Marketplace and Kingsway, were on hand to speak to househunters and were joined by a representative agent from HomeBuy Direct and an independent financial adviser who were both available to discuss individual’s purchasing options.

Alison continues: “We are delighted that Home Buy Direct is proving successful and it demonstrates that initiatives such as this coming onto the market, is helping hundreds of young people or those that have been renting, to make that first move. We can see through our increasing visitors to our developments that demand for new homes remains strong and we are confident that our customers see this as a good time to buy.

“Demonstrating that HomeBuy Direct is so popular in the Gloucester and overall South Midlands area, we have achieved the second highest number of sales through the scheme among the 24 regional Persimmon Homes companies.”

Sir Bob Kerslake, chief executive of The Homes and Communities Agency which is investing £400m to HomeBuy Direct through designated agents and developers such as Persimmon, adds: “HomeBuy Direct is about giving local people the opportunity to get a foot on the property ladder in a way they can afford now and into the future.”

HOMEBUY DIRECT GETS HUNDREDS OF BUYERS MOVING

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.
