If you’re a first-time buyer in Swindon looking to step onto the property ladder, there’s an opportunity to receive free expert advice this coming weekend.
The Mortgage Brain, a mortgage broker, will be present at Orchards Rise in The Orchards, Wichelstowe from 10 am to 5 pm on both Saturday 29th, and Sunday 30th of April offering guidance on important topics like calculating affordability, current mortgage rates, and the best deals on the market.
In addition, sales advisors will be available to discuss customised financial incentives currently offered, such as living mortgage-free, receiving assistance towards their deposit or monthly bills, and a £10,000 financial incentive, plus flooring on selected properties, for those who move into their new home before 30th September 2023.
Louise Ware, sales director for Barratt David Wilson Homes South West, said: “With mortgage rates stabilising now is a great time to buy. If you’ve been looking for a new home at Wichelstowe, this event is the perfect opportunity to come along and find out how we can tailor an incentive package to help make your first move happen.”
At Orchards Rise, three-bedroom homes are priced from £345,000, which is below the average price of a property on the market in the UK. According to Rightmove, the average price of a property coming to market was £366,000 in March.
