NEW HOUSING SCHEME HELPS FIRST TIME BUYERS IN GLOUCESTER

Buyers looking for affordable city living are getting the chance to snap up one of nine properties at two landmark housing schemes on the outskirts of Gloucester.

With two developments to choose from – Kings Copse, Kingsway, Gloucester and Glevum Oaks, Coopers Edge, Brockworth, there is something for everyone.


Kings Copse has just one 2 bed plot remaining The Buckthorn. The property has a fitted kitchen, attractive living room with patio doors leading to a rear garden, downstairs cloakroom, two double bedrooms and well-appointed bathroom. Priced from just £60,000*.

Glevum Oaks is offering a selection of 3 bedroom properties – Each come with fitted kitchen/dining room with French doors to rear garden, downstairs cloakroom, turfed front and rear gardens and allocated parking. Priced from just £80,000*.

There is also full gas-fired central heating, double glazing and high performance insulation throughout and a 10 year National House Building Council (NHBC) New Home Warranty.

Both developments offer a range of local amenities including local Tesco store, schools and a range of shops and both are conveniently situated for the M5 and major motorway links.

The new-build homes are available through HomeBuy Shared Ownership – a scheme that allows people to purchase shares of their own home, rather than the more expensive option of buying a property outright.

Beverley Hall, spokesperson for Bromford Homes, explained: “HomeBuy Shared Ownership gives you the same rights and responsibilities of owning your own home, you’ll just share the ownership with Bromford Homes.

“You simply purchase a share and pay lower monthly payments than if you’d have bought outright. The more shares you buy, the less you pay. There’s no catch – we’re here especially to help you get onto the housing ladder.”

For more information about Kings Copse and Glevum Oaks please contact Michael Tuck Land and New Homes on 01452 726443
*Prices equate to a 50% share. Other shares available to buy through Bromford Homes’ Flexi Purchase scheme. Monthly rent and service charges also apply. Offer subject to terms and conditions.
