FIRSTBUY TO ASSIST GLOUCESTER HOUSEHUNTERS

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.”

Demand for Tenants at Coopers Edge

MORE proof that the local rental market is thriving comes from the Abbeymead office of estate agent Michael Tuck, which reports finding tenants for seven properties on the Cooper’s Edge development alone in the past month.

Lettings manager Kurt Swanborough said: “It’s the ideal location for many tenants who commute to work, being within easy reach of Gloucester, Cheltenham and the M5.

“Landlords have woken up to the fact that they can find good deals, especially if they are multiple property buyers and this up and coming development of new homes has everything going for it.”

According to Kurt Swanborough, demand for rented property in Cooper’s Edge in Brockworth is across the range of house types.

“We let four three bedroom town houses, a couple of two bedroom houses and a pair of two bedroom apartments – all within ten days of receiving instructions from the owner landlords. As long as properties are priced realistically there’s strong demand from tenants.”

This is a situation that he believes will continue into the future. “At the Abbeymead office the lettings department is certainly busier than ever and I believe that strong demand will carry on.

“People who find it difficult to buy because they can’t raise the large deposits lenders are asking for are looking to rent – and that’s not going to change in the near future.

“We expecting to find a lot more tenants for rental properties at the Brockworth development and as we’re the local expert we believe we have the edge at Cooper’s Edge”.
