NEW HOMES
DEPOSITS MADE EASIER Taking a first step on the housing ladder is less of a challenge with a deposit contribution from Countryside Homes
deposit of their own – with an additional 5% from the developer. This means, for example, that a deposit of as little as £13,750 is needed to secure a one bedroom apartment at Edge, Hainault – and it’s all yours from the start, with no worries about having to staircase and buy more shares. The deposit contribution also means that buyers can access a 90% mortgage, with more choice and lower rates than if a 95%
mortgage was required. The 5% deposit contribution scheme is available on selected homes at two of Countryside Homes’ most popular developments – set in different parts of London, but both offering spacious homes with private outdoor space, well designed open-plan living areas and good-quality finishes, set in convenient, well-connected locations.
Saving up for a deposit is probably the biggest challenge facing first time buyers – but those who fancy putting down roots in a Countryside home at Greenwich Millennium Village or Edge, Hainault can benefit from the developer’s 5% deposit contribution. The scheme is designed to help buyers make their move to a beautiful new Countryside home with as little as a 5%
