We're offering advice and support to first time buyers who want to escape the rental trap and step onto the property ladder at two of its developments; Whitehall Grange, in New Farnley, Leeds and Woodland Vale in Tingley, near Wakefield.
Alison Trigg, area sales manager for Redrow Yorkshire, said: “With the news that Skipton Building Society is now offering zero deposit mortgages* for people who have rented for at least 12 months, the options for first time buyers without substantial savings have increased.
“One of the advantages of buying a brand new property is that purchasers have help and support from us at every step and that includes access to our recommended solicitors and mortgage specialists, who can recommend the best products available.”
Skipton’s new five-year fixed rate Track Record Mortgage, for example, is open to first time buyers aged 21 or over, who have been renting and paying bills for at least 12 months in a row. It does not require a family member or friend to act as a guarantor and cannot be used to buy a new build apartment.
There will be a collection of three and four-bedroom homes at Whitehall Grange and a range of two, three and four-bedroom properties at Woodland Vale, all with architecture inspired by the Arts and Crafts era and highly specified, modern interiors.
The two-bedroom Ledbury at Woodland Vale is priced from £262,950 and comes complete with a spacious downstairs layout featuring an open-plan kitchen / diner and a separate lounge, plus a convenient cloakroom. Upstairs are two good-sized double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite.
At Whitehall Grange, prices currently start from £384,950 for the three-bedroom detached Warwick, with a detached single garage. The property boasts an open-plan kitchen / diner and a generous lounge. The first floor features two double bedrooms, with an en-suite to the main bedroom, a comfortable third bedroom and a family bathroom.
Alison added: “The Ledbury and The Warwick are perfect for couples, professionals and growing families alike. Those who have been renting can move straight in with no need to undertake any costly renovations or maintenance work. Our homes boast high specification kitchens and bathrooms with appliances included and buyers can choose from a host of options and extras via My Redrow, the exclusive members’ area of our website, to make the property their own.”
