House hunters in Cheshire are being invited to Barratt Homes' Somerford Reach development in Congleton this Saturday (6th July), for a First Time Buyer event which aims to help those looking to purchase their first property.

The event will be a great opportunity for visitors to speak with independent Financial Advisers and Barratt Homes' Sales Advisers for advice on how to best approach taking a step onto the property ladder.

Information will also be provided on the government-backed Help to Buy scheme which has helped over 6,320 home buyers in Cheshire since its launch in 2013.

Help to Buy allows buyers to purchase a home with just a 5% deposit and a 75% mortgage. The remaining 20% is funded by an equity loan from the Government which is interest-free for the first five years.

The event will give keen first time buyers a chance to have any questions they may have about the home-buying process and the Help to Buy scheme answered by those in the know.

Lynton Dudgeon, Sales Director at Barratt Homes North West, said: “We know that deciding to purchase a home is a big decision. That's why we're here to make the process quick and affordable, and to answer any questions buyers may have.

“Buying a home is often one of the largest investments a person will make in their life, so we want to make sure we are on hand to provide expert advice and give our customers a helping hand wherever we can.”

At the event, buyers will also be able to see the fantastic quality of the properties for themselves, with three show homes available to view throughout the day, including the three bedroom Maidstone, the four bedroom Radleigh and the four bedroom Ripon style homes.

Those interested in attending the event are invited along to the sales centre on Chelford Road between 10am and 5:30pm.

To register an interest on any of the homes at Somerford Reach, which are priced from £234,995, visit the marketing suite on Monday from 12:30pm until 5:30pm or from Thursday to Sunday between 10am and 5:30pm.
