WITH thousands of pounds spent feathering a landlord’s nest and nothing to show for it at the end, it’s little wonder many are keen to get on the property ladder.

The good news is it’s easier than ever to buy a dream home at Redrow’s Earl’s Park in the stunning city of Chester.

The Government-backed Help to Buy scheme means would-be homeowners can finally get off the rental roundabout and make that crucial first step – and, with an affordable deposit of just 5%, that’s a definite boost for young first-time buyers who long to make the move.

Two-bedroom properties at the popular and much-desired development are priced from only £219,995 and are ideally suited for those starting out in life.

By taking out a Help to Buy equity loan for up to 20% of the property price, they could find that a 5% deposit and 75% loan to value mortgage from a lender of their choice is enough to purchase a brand-new home there and, crucially, the loan is interest-free for five years.

“Having a home of their own is a goal for many young people and something they aspire to,” says Jason Newton, sales director for Redrow Homes (NW).  “It means they can move out of the family home to get the freedom they desire, or stop being a tenant and start owning, making that lifelong and rewarding property investment.

“Mistakenly some people think it is beyond their reach financially, but the Help to Buy scheme makes it far more affordable and achievable than many believe, and our sales team can take them through all the various options.”

Buying a home rather than renting has other benefits too, from being able to choose the style and décor to, even, having a pet. Buying a brand-new home has additional advantages like being easy to maintain, covered by a 10-year warranty and much more economical to run.

At Earl’s Park in the sought-after village of Huntington, residents can enjoy a relaxed pace of life, with the River Dee and Cheshire countryside nearby and the vibrant and popular shops, restaurants, bistros and cafes of Chester city centre all within easy reach. There is already a thriving and friendly community at the Redrow development, just off Sandy Lane.

Redrow is currently selling a wide range of two, three and four-bedroom Heritage Collection homes with prices from £219,995 to £337,495.

Among them, combining a traditional exterior with a contemporary interior, the two-bedroom Ledbury redefines the concept of the two-up-two-down. It enjoys a spacious lounge, open plan kitchen/dining room, plus cloakroom downstairs; while upstairs there are two double bedrooms, each with an en-suite to add convenience and practicality as well as an elegant touch of luxury.

Other homes are available to reserve now at Earl’s Park, as well as the neighbouring Regent’s Grange, which currently offers three and four-bedroom homes from £321,500.
