First time buyers are benefitting from the FirstBuy scheme with Persimmon Homes

Oct. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Sales advisers at the development were inundated with visitors who were keen to learn more about FirstBuy - the newly launched Government equity loan scheme which is aimed at first time buyers who are keen to take that all important step onto the property ladder.

Not only did staff welcome many visitors through the doors, but they also took a reservation from one young local buyer.

Diane England, sales director for Persimmon Homes Lancashire, comments: “The Persimmon Group was awarded the largest FirstBuy allocation of any house builder and judging by the level of interest the event generated last weekend, potential buyers have been quick to realise how great this is.

“This scheme enables first time buyers to get the keys to properties they could previously only dream about - we have a wide choice of new homes available to buy using the FirstBuy scheme which is excellent news for the region’s aspiring home owners.”

FirstBuy is aimed at households with an income of less than £60,000 a year, with priority given to first time buyers.  Eligible applicants are offered an equity loan of up to 20 per cent of the purchase price and can then gain a mortgage for the remaining amount.

Diane added: “Young buyers are finding that snapping up their first home has become a whole lot easier following the launch of FirstBuy. We are committed in pushing this new scheme as much as possible as we realise just how useful it is in providing young buyers with help on to the property ladder.”

With FirstBuy, homes at Birch Hill Gardens are currently priced from just £114,396.

Birch Hill Gardens enjoys the best of both worlds; a semi-rural setting, within walking distance of Wardle village and near the Waterfoot reservoir. Ideal for commuters, the development is just a short drive from the M62 motorway, enabling easy access for Manchester and the Trafford Centre.
