FirstBuy allocation announced for Linden Homes Western

June 24, 2011 - PRLog -- A new scheme aimed at helping first time buyers to get a foot on the property ladder was launched this week and Linden Homes Western is delighted to announce the allocation of funding at its developments in and around Bristol including Great Western Dockyard, located next to the ss Great Britain and The Friary, Portishead.

FirstBuy is an equity scheme whereby the Government and housebuilders provide purchasers with a loan of up to 20 per cent of the buying price of a selected new home. All that is needed is a 5 per cent deposit and if the household income is below £60,000 this could be the key to first time buyers owning 100% of a new property for just 75 per cent of the price.*

Nigel Palmer, Managing Director for the company comments: “We’re looking forward to the introduction of FirstBuy. Many new purchasers are finding it difficult to get the money together for a deposit so we hope that this incentive will give them the chance to make that move.

“Our sales executives are on hand to discuss how the scheme works and as availability for this is on a first come first served basis, we would encourage interested buyers to visit our developments and find out more as soon as they can. You can also register on our website for further details.”

Linden Homes Western is currently building in locations including Bristol, Great Bedwyn, Chippenham, Gloucester and Bradford-on-Avon. It is part of Galliford Try’s award winning housebuilding division, the sixth largest residential developer in the UK, specialising in high quality, individually designed schemes across the country.
