Budget Bargains With Housebuilder In West Yorkshire

Lockdown has led to a busy property market due to buyers aspiring to things like more private outdoor space and having less obligation for a daily commute to the office. But as Barratt Homes is showing at developments across West Yorkshire, you may not need the budget you think in order to make your wish come true.

St Andrew's Place is in the market town of Morley, on the southern outskirts of Leeds. There’s currently a number of three- and four-bedroom houses for sale there, priced from £264,995 to £399,995. Some good local amenities and a host of transport links close by, the housebuilder has seen keen sales here, but there are a couple of cost-saving deals right now.

Plot 142 is the ‘Chester’, a detached home with garage and two private parking spaces. It has a kitchen/dining room, living room, downstairs WC, family bathroom, two double bedrooms (on with en suite) and two single bedrooms, providing great flexibility as home office, studio, gym or guest room. Priced £322,995, this is currently available with a £9,500 deposit boost and can be purchased via Part Exchange.

Plot 152 is a ‘Maidstone’ three-bedroom house type with a private driveway for two cars. It also has a turfed south-west facing garden. This is priced at £264,995 but the housebuilder will contribute £7,500 towards the deposit and there’s also the option of Part Exchange.

The ‘Maidstone’at Ambler’s Meadow

East Ardsley is between Leeds and Wakefield and it is here where Barratt is selling three- and four-bedroom homes at Ambler’s Meadow, with current prices from £132,500 to £384,995. Residents here have a range of handy amenities, local walks with plenty of green open space surrounding the development, and great local schools on the doorstep. The M1, M62 and M621 motorways are close by.

The reason for the low starting price is the opportunity for first-time buyers to use Home Reach, a special initiative that will allow them to ‘part buy-part rent’, requiring a much lower deposit and mortgage. It’s available on Plot 230, a detached version of the ‘Maidstone’ house type with lounge, kitchen/dining room, downstairs WC, upstairs, bathroom two double bedrooms and a single bedroom. If a buyer is eligible to apply for the scheme they can start with purchasing a 50%-75% share of the home and paying a subsidised rent on the remainder. This will save thousands of pounds on the deposit payment.

Home of the Week here is Plot 184, which is a four-bedroom home with detached garage priced at £349,995. Barratt is offering a £10,000 deposit boost on this property. Three of the bedrooms are doubles, and bedroom one comes with en suite shower room. Downstairs are a kitchen/family room and a living room, both of which have French doors to the garden, and there’s a separate dining room.
