<p>Press Release</p><p>Homes with a Difference</p><p>The Bernicia Group, which includes Cheviot Homes, are delighted to be able to offer a variety of new homes at Brunton Grange in Newcastle Great Park through the Government’s “Newbuild Homebuy” scheme.</p><p>Newbuild Homebuy aims to help people who cannot initially afford to buy a suitable home outright, the chance to get onto the housing ladder</p><p>The scheme allows buyers to purchase a share of the property; initially this can be as small as 30% or as large as 90% of the property, which would be funded in the usual way by a mortgage. The remaining portion can then be rented from Cheviot Homes.</p><p>The beauty of the Newbuild Homebuy scheme is that later on, the buyer can increase their share of the property and therefore decrease the amount of rent that they pay or even buy their home outright.</p><p>Bernicia’s Sharon Williams said, “We are delighted to be able to offer such a range of high quality homes on this superb development, which I am confident is going to be a highly sought after location. I am sure that these homes will make a real difference to the lives of people who possibly didn’t think that they could find their way onto the housing ladder at Newcastle Great Park”</p><p>Bernicia are offering brand new three and four bedroom homes three storey townhouses, some including a garage and a study. These homes will be close to the facilities in the brand new town centre, which is currently being built and will enjoy excellent public transport links to Newcastle and beyond.</p><p>Buyers can choose between five stylish house types built in a contemporary style and which are designed and constructed to the highest environmental standards. This means that the homes are not only kinder to the environment but will be more efficient to run. Initial values of the homes are currently between £189,000 and £199,000</p><p>Buyers must meet the required criteria to take advantage of this scheme. It is open to applicants who are deemed to be in housing need and who are unable to afford outright purchase. Applicants will need to apply initially through Bernicia and to find out more about this exciting opportunity please contact Sharon Williams on 0191 2383843 or email [email protected] </p>
