POTENTIAL home owners across Leicestershire may have been put off taking their first steps onto the property ladder during the current credit climate, but David Wilson East Midlands thinks now is the perfect time to buy and is holding a special first time buyer weekend at its Mulberry Gardens development in Hamilton this weekend to promote the fantastic deals it is currently offering.
Situated on Sandhills Avenue, Mulberry Gardens is a superb development offering a wide range of one-, four- and five- bedroom properties. The one- bedroom properties in particular are ideal for first time buyers, and with the housebuilder’s Easy Start scheme, home ownership can become a reality for an unbelievable £57,746. More »
Philip Lacey, Sales Director for David Wilson says “The aim of the first time buyer weekend is to demonstrate that despite all the doom and gloom surrounding the current housing market, now is in fact an ideal time to buy.
“We have a number of initiatives designed specifically for first time buyers including Easy Start which is a tailor made package that requires purchasers to initially pay just 75 per cent of the price and with this scheme home ownership could prove cheaper than renting.
“We have a range of other deals aside from Easy Start including shared equity, deposit paid or stamp duty paid and Derry Walton from Meridian Mortgages Limited will be on hand all weekend to offer guidance and advice to any prospective purchasers.
“The one- bedroom properties at Mulberry Gardens are a fantastic starter home, so if you’re looking to get your foot on the property ladder in Leicester, come down to Mulberry Gardens this weekend to see how we can help you make your dream of home ownership a reality.”
Easy Start is not a shared ownership scheme; homebuyers own 100 per cent of the property from day one. There is no rent or interest to pay on the deferred amount, it is simply paid back as 25 per cent of the property’s open market value at any time up to the point of resale or within ten years, whichever is sooner.
Prices for a one- bedroom home at the development start from £76,995, therefore prices with Easy Start start from £57,746.
For more information please call the sales office on 01162 765 875 or visit during the opening hours of 11am – 6pm, Thursday to Monday. Alternatively call the sales hotline on 0845 602 4046, text DWH100 to 84840 or log onto the website at www.dwh.co.uk « Less
