OVERWHELMING‘ HELP TO BUY’ SUCCESS IN HASTINGS
Since its launch in 2013, over 150,000 people have achieved their aspiration of home ownership thanks to the government’ s flagship housing scheme, Help to Buy. Furthermore, new research has found that for 82 percent of Help to Buy homeowners, buying would not have been possible without the scheme.
Ideal for homebuyers in need of an extra boost onto the property ladder, luxury property developer, Millwood Designer Homes, is proud to offer Help to Buy on a selection of its high quality homes at its Woodlands View development in Hastings, East Sussex.
The homes at Woodlands View have been carefully laid out with a mix of different styles and are nestled in picturesque surroundings backing onto woodland with stunning views across the countryside towards the coast. Prices start from £ 325,000 for a four-bedroom home and all properties at Woodlands View are available with Help to Buy. For more information, please visit www. millwooddesignerhomes. co. uk, or contact 01424 390150.
Nearly half of the properties purchased at Woodlands View have been to first-time buyers or second steppers using the government scheme to move up the ladder. Help to Buy allows buyers to purchase a property with as little as a five percent deposit, which is then supplemented by an equity loan of up to 20 percent from the government.
Philip Brown, sales director at Millwood Designer Homes, said:“ At Millwood we are focused on providing properties of high quality and Woodlands View offers buyers the opportunity to purchase high quality homes at affordable prices. The development has seen first-time buyers getting on the property ladder, as well as second steppers moving up it, which we are hoping to see continue. Help to Buy is such a fantastic scheme and we are pleased to be able to help so many people purchase a brand new home that they are proud of.”
