Hollinwood Homes is offering potential first time buyers in Preston a unique opportunity at its popular Ashton Bank development in Ashton-on-Ribble.
The housebuilder has designed a new ‘have it your way’housetype that can be bought as a three bed home or a two bed home that can beconverted later.
The property is being offered specifically for first timebuyers via the company’s Hollinwood First scheme, which helps them buy a largerproperty with a low deposit.
The Rigby ‘have it your way’ housetype comes completewith two large double bedrooms, an open plan lounge/dining room and a fullyfitted designer kitchen, but home owners can also benefit in the future fromthe property’s flexibility.
The housebuilder has designed the property so that one ofthe bedrooms can easily be converted into two singles, while plumbing is inplace to add an en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom if the homeownerwishes.
Hollinwood Homes director Duncan Bowman explained:
“These properties offer a great deal of space compared tomost others that are aimed at first time buyers. Our designers have taken fulladvantage of that space and created a housetype that can offer adaptable livingto homeowners, which can be really attractive when young couples become growingfamilies and need more flexible space.”
The Rigby ‘have it your way’ homes are aimed at potentialbuyers who have been priced out of the property market to-date.
Via the Hollinwood First scheme, qualifying buyers canown a Rigby 2 property, but pay just 80 per cent of the full purchase price. Theother massive advantage of Hollinwood First is that Purchasers will only need afive per cent deposit.
This innovative scheme presents a unique opportunity foryoung people in Preston to get a foot on the property ladder. It means that abrand new home is available for as little as £107,960.
As well as Rigby 2 properties, a small number of Liveseyhousetypes are available at Ashton Bank under the Hollinwood First scheme. TheLivesey is a beautiful two bedroom home with open plan living, kitchen, diningarea and feature porthole window. Prices also start at £107,960.
