A Yorkshire housebuilder is going above and beyond to help first-time buyers get a foot on the property ladder in the Northallerton area this March.
According to a new survey carried out by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the scrapping of stamp duty for first-time buyers, although welcomed, is yet to have a drastic impact on the housing market . To help further, David Wilson Homes has implemented a market-leading initiative at its Castlegate development in Northallerton.
As well as being exempt from stamp duty for first-time buyers, the new two bedroom apartments come with the option of a complementary premium John Lewis furniture pack, taking away the stress, costs and time associated with buying and furnishing a first home and saving buyers thousands.
From now, for a limited period only, buyers will benefit from the option of an exclusive, free furniture pack worth up to £4,000, as well as an upgraded modern kitchen boasting discreet integrated appliances worth up to £3,200, saving the homeowner over £7,000.
The furniture packs include new-home essentials; two sofas, two bed frames and mattresses, one coffee table, one dining table, four dining chairs and four bedside cabinets, offering a helping hand to homebuyers and giving any new apartment the wow factor. Available in a variety of stylish, on-trend colour schemes including Saga Grey, New Fennel and Blue, each furniture pack has been carefully designed to suit the two bedroom apartments currently available at Castlegate.
John Lewis’ Neutral Collection, which boasts a variety of luxurious home essentials, offers minimal design that would work with any existing furnishings and accessories. The Retro Collection features a variety of stylish oak furniture pieces, whilst the Contemporary Collection boasts clean lines for a modern interior feel.
David Wilson Homes Yorkshire East’s Sales Director, Paul Hogan, commented: “We understand how costly getting onto the property ladder can be for first-time buyers, which is why we are keen to lead the way by offering more support. The variety of luxurious, ready-to-go John Lewis furniture packs on offer will not only save buyers a considerable amount of money, but will also reduce stress and save precious time.”
“The Castlegate apartments are set in a highly desirable location and are the perfect choice for first-time buyers – especially when teamed with the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme that helps buyers purchase a new home with just a 5% deposit. This is a very limited offer and we encourage anybody that is interested to contact our Sales Office before it’s too late.”
Ideally located in the thriving town of Northallerton, and nestled between two of the region’s National Parks, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales, Castlegate also offers fantastic road and rail links making York, Leeds, Harrogate, Newcastle, Teeside and London easily accessible..
