Advice on hand for homebuyers making their 'Debut' on the property ladder

Fri, Apr 18th 2008, 14:30

The multi-award-winning range of ‘Debut’ homes, available at Gelli Dawel, in Merthyr Tydfil, and Dôl Gorwel, in North Cornelly, offers cash-strapped buyers a unique opportunity to leap onto the property ladder with ease.

However, Redrow understands that buying a first home, no matter how affordable, can still be daunting, which is why help is at hand at their first time buyers’ evenings, being held at both developments on April 24. People reserving on the evening can also take advantage of Redrow’s offer to move in for an initial downpayment of just £99.

Luly Brice, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales), said: “Not only do Debut homes offer first time buyers a rare affordable option in today’s property market; we may also be able to take care of any extra fees, leaving just a £99 reservation fee to pay.”

Prices of Redrow’s Debut range in South Wales start from less than £60,000 and if purchasers take advantage of the Easi-buy option, they can even defer 10% of the initial purchase price. There’s also a single monthly service charge that covers gas, water and electricity bills as well as external maintenance, to make budgeting easy for first time home owners.

Luly added: “Debut is definitely a winning formula for people who otherwise could not afford to get onto the property ladder - and certainly not with an easy to maintain, brand new home and all the benefits that brings. Debut offers stylish, contemporary designs and the properties are built to high quality standards, with sustainability and energy efficiency a key factor. Much of the cost-saving comes from the use of lightweight structural steel frame and other modern methods of construction, which speed up the build programme without compromising on quality.”

At Gelli Dawel, Debut homes are available from £58,444 for a one bedroom property and from £105,995 for a two-bedroom home.  Customers can reduce their initial outlay by taking the Easi-buy 10% deferred payment option.
