In a move to help first-time buyers get their foot on the property ladder, we are holding an exclusive First-Time Buyer Event on Saturday, 25th March at our High Gables development in Pocklington.
Celebrating the launch of our specially-designed First-Time Buyer package, the event will offer homeowners a tour of the Bamburgh and Settle showhomes. Our sales team will be on hand to talk visitors through the process of buying a new home, as well as the huge savings the package can help them make. With a reservation fee of only £99, any would-be homeowners looking to take that first step will be able to reserve their dream home at this event.
Recent studies from Rightmove showed that first-time buyers are as eager as ever to make their first home purchase, but that with an average time of five years spent saving up for a deposit, they’re compelled to make significant lifestyle changes in order to make the purchase.
Would-be homeowners ended up making cutbacks in their spending on going out, their levels of energy use, holidays, and streaming service subscriptions.[1]
The same research showed that energy efficiency was one of the top criteria first-time buyers valued when searching for a new home, which might explain the huge upsurge in buyers seeking energy-efficient new builds such as the houses at our own developments, whose energy efficiency credentials tend to be far better.
The Harron Homes First-Time Buyer package is designed to ease the strain without a need for too many spending cuts or lifestyle changes. Looking to shorten the time it takes a buyer to save up for their first owned home, the package offers several incentives when reserving a house with us, including *:
- A 5% deposit contribution worth thousands
- Luxury flooring package
- Integrated fridge-freezer and dishwasher included
- £99 reservation fee
Alison Taylor-Shaw, Sales and Marketing Director at Harron Homes Yorkshire, says, “At Harron Homes we understand how important getting onto the property ladder is.
“The recent Rightmove research shows that there is still an exceptionally high demand among first-time buyers despite the time it can take to save for a deposit. We introduced this package to help first-time buyers out, and we’re delighted to be able to support people in finding their first dream home.
“We aim to help our customers in whatever way we can and this package will really give people a leg-up to get onto that property ladder.”
The First-Time Buyer Event will take place between 11am-4pm on Saturday 25th March at High Gables, YO42 2DY. For more information on the development visit https://www.harronhomes.com/find-a-home/east-yorkshire/high-gables/.
