Find a home you can afford at the new Somer Homes website
29th October 2008
Somer Housing Group has launched a brand new
website aimed at people looking for affordable housing options.
The site – www.somerhomes.co.uk – has
details of all the properties on offer by the Group’s members
through the New Build HomeBuy scheme. This allows people to move in
to a new home that they part-buy, part-rent. They buy a percentage
of their home (often 50%) and pay rent on the rest. As
their circumstances change, they can buy further shares until they
own their whole home.
Some developments have homes available through ‘Rent to Buy’.
This new scheme is aimed at people who can't afford a mortgage,
can't get a mortgage or have simply been put off purchasing in the
current economic climate. They can get the best of both worlds,
renting a home at a substantial discount (the rent is calculated at
80% of the local market rent) and at a later date they will be
given the first chance to buy the property through New Build
HomeBuy.
The site has properties available now in Bath and North East
Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Cotswolds, Mendip, and
West Wiltshire.
Sarah Turton, Sales & Marketing Manager, said:
‘This is a very difficult time for people who
are frustrated because they want to find a home, but are still
having difficulty finding somewhere they can afford or getting a
mortgage. We have some great homes for sale and rent and these
schemes give you lots of flexibility about how you commit yourself
now, with the possibility that one day you will own all of your
home, without ever having to move.’
