Opportunity knocks for first timer’s

The stylish showhome at Henley Grange

First time buyers eager to get onto the property ladder but unable to do so because of high property prices are being encouraged to visit Bryant Homes’ Change Your Life event.

The event takes place at its Henley Grange development in Halesowen this Saturday and Sunday, 29th and 30th August.

House hunters will have the chance to make a big change in their lives as a selection of two bedroom apartments will be reduced to just £89,995 for that weekend only.

Currently priced from £95,995, those lucky enough to snap up one of the available apartments will not only save thousands of pounds but will also receive carpets for their new home.

Anne Wallace, regional sales and marketing director, said: “Despite the fall in house prices, getting a foot onto the ladder is difficult and the prospect for many first time buyers of owning their own home still remains out of reach.”Our ‘Change Your Life’ weekend is designed to make the step into home ownership more affordable, but don¹t forget these reduced prices are only going to be available on the 29th and 30th.

“Because of this we’re expecting interest to be high, so those interested in taking the next step into independence should pay a visit to Henley Grange to avoid missing out.”

The house builder’s Deposit Match* scheme is also available on selected properties. The scheme makes buying your first ever home so much more affordable as it will match the deposit you put down, up to 10 per cent of the property’s value.This additional capital provides first time buyers with access to a wider range of mortgages and, in turn, more competitive interest rates and reduced monthly payments.Henley Grange comprises a collection of 154 mews-style homes and contemporary apartments located within the established residential area of Belle Vale.

The development enjoys a semi-rural feel with the River Stour close by and attractive woodland and public open space to the rear.

Halesowen town centre has excellent facilities including the Cornbow Centre, which is filled with high street names, and a regular farmer¹s market to explore. There’s also a selection of welcoming bars, restaurants and coffee shops.

At the weekend, purchasers will be spoilt for choice with a selection of sports and leisure facilities including parks and golf courses.

Currently available at Henley Grange is a selection of two bedroom apartments and three and four bedrooms homes with prices from just £95,995.
