It’s a good time to be a first-time buyer, according to reports from banking trade body, UK Finance – and if you’re looking to take the first step on the property ladder with a brand-new home, Jelson at Fieldfare, Mountsorrel, is an excellent place to start looking.
Over 370,000 first-time buyer mortgages were taken out in the UK last year – the highest number since 2006. UK Finance attributes the buoyant market to historically low mortgage rates along with Government schemes such as Help to Buy.
Help to Buy is available on all the homes at Fieldfare, or Jelson will pay the Stamp Duty, making the two- to five-bedroom homes at this stunning location even more affordable. And if you are a first-time buyer, there are some very special offers available – be sure to ask the sales adviser for details.
Help to Buy is applicable on all new-build homes up to £600,000 and means you only need to put down a five percent deposit to secure your new home. At Fieldfare, that equates to a deposit of under £10,000 for our most affordable two-bedroom Cartmel semi-detached home.
Under Help to Buy, the government provides a 20% equity loan, which is interest-free for the first five years. This means first-time buyers would only have to raise a 75% mortgage to buy a brand-new home at Fieldfare – so you could be in your own first home much sooner than you’d have imagined.
