At Countryside Properties we recognise that many first time buyers need help to move onto the property ladder for the first time. We therefore offer every assistance we can.
We are aware that it can be a challenge trying to raise money for a deposit, as well as paying legal fees, stamp duty, the costs of moving in and buying furniture.
We have a great number of developments and many of them offer new homes with the first time buyer specifically in mind. Depending on where you want to buy we can offer a variety of ways to help. For first time buyers we still offer to pay five per cent deposit. We may also be able to help with your stamp duty and legal fees. Incentive packages to help first time buyers with their buying costs are available at most of our developments - for full details see the Home Search facility on this page.
First Step
In addition at some of our developments, if you buy a property which is currently being built, but not due for build completion for at least nine months from your reservation date, you may qualify for our FIRST STEP deposit build-up scheme.
Here, we allow buyers to reserve the property for an agreed fee and then exchange contracts a month later with £1,000. Buyers then pay an agreed monthly fee until their home is complete - at which stage, we will then make up the difference to subsidise the full five per cent deposit against their mortgage. For full details please see the Home Search facility on this page.
First Time Buyers' Initiative
We are also participating in the new "HomeBuy" low cost initiative. We have been selected as a leading developer for the First Time Buyers' Initiative which is available at a number of our developments.
Independent Financial Advice
We can also recommend Independent Financial Advisors to help you choose the right mortgage.
