Have your first time with Redrow

Let Redrow guide you through your first time with a fantastic first time buyers weekend (April 1st/2nd) taking place at two very different developments in Bridlington, Cottage Farm and Eastfields.

Redrow is aiming to de-mystify the home buying process and give people a leg-up onto the property ladder.

For many first time buyers the idea of purchasing a house can be hugely daunting but when you look at the money they could save by buying a property rather than renting, the figures really do speak for themselves.

A recent survey conducted by Abbey bank has shown that over a period of 25 years, renters will pay out £37,000 more than those who buy their own home.

Julie Rayner, sales director for Redrow Homes (Yorkshire) says: “The saving that can be made when buying a home can be huge, why rent a similar property in the area for substantially more a month?

“By making the leap onto the property ladder at Cottage Farm or Eastfields, first time buyers will be able to secure themselves a stylish and modern home for their money. A range of properties is available across the two developments catering for all kinds of homebuyers, from those who want a stylish apartment to those who would like a traditional house with space for their family to grow.”

Potential homebuyers will be able to talk to Redrow staff and an independent mortgage advisor, who’ll be on hand throughout the weekend to help them make the right decisions regarding the purchase of their first home.

As well as offering advice on how to step onto the property ladder Redrow is holding a special prize draw over the weekend to help one lucky customer furnish their new home in style. Anyone who attends the event will be placed into the draw to win £500 to put towards the furniture in his or her new home.

And if this wasn’t enough Redrow is also offering to pay 5% deposit on selected properties at their Cottage Farm development, whilst homehunters at Eastfields will undoubtedly be tempted by Redrow’s ‘£99 and move in’ deal available on a number of selected plots.

Currently available at Cottage Farm is an impressive range of properties including the two-bedroom Canterbury terraced property, which comprises of two bedrooms, bathroom and spacious lounge/dining room, kitchen and downstairs cloakroom on the ground floor. Prices start from £115,950.

Also available at Cottage Farm is the two-bedroom Hickory bungalow, which includes a large lounge/dining room and detached single garage within its £139,995 price tag.

Eastfields is home to a number of low maintenance, high style two-bedroom apartments. With prices starting from just £99,950 these apartments are the perfect way to take those first tentative steps onto the property ladder and as an added bonus are well below the £120,000 stamp duty threshold.

Both developments are situated in the coastal town of Bridlington, famous for its sandy beaches and working harbour. Bridlington offers a wealth of amenities from restaurants and bars to indoor shopping precincts, leisure centres and a theatre.

For your chance to win £500 to put towards furnishing your new home come along to Cottage Farm and/or Eastfields during the weekend of April 1st/2nd between 10am and 5.30pm and find out just how easy it can be to secure your first home.
