Launch Of Discount Market Sale Apartments Near Ramsgate

Barratt Homes has committed to delivering much-needed affordable housing in the district of Thanet, having just launched a selection of Discount Market Sale (DMS) apartments ready to reserve off-plan at Spitfire Green, a new homes development just outside of Ramsgate.

The scheme is available at a discounted value of 20% for those who live or work in the district of Thanet, was previously a resident in Thanet and has close family member who resides in the district, or those who need to live in Thanet to support a family member. Eligible buyers must also earn a maximum of £80,000 per year.

Surrounded by 4.5 acres of open green space and with a network of walkways and cycle paths, the homes available comprise a selection of 12 two-bedroom apartments. Prices for these properties will start from £188,000, and the initiative is exclusively designed to help local residents to afford to purchase their own home.

Natalie Perry, sales and marketing director for Barratt Kent, commented: “Today’s first-time buyers are feeling the pressure of high mortgage rates, the cost of rent eating into savings, and the challenges posed by the high cost of living. Very few housebuilders in Kent are offering Discount Market Sale homes, therefore we are proud to be leading the way for much needed affordable housing, as well as offering other options to help all types of buyers at Spitfire Green such as our Key Worker Deposit Scheme and Deposit Unlock.”

“Not only are we launching our DMS apartments at Spitfire Green, we are also going one step further to help first time buyers by collaborating with IKEA UK on bespoke furniture packs and free planning sessions for those who buy at the development. IKEA offer a wider range of affordable furniture for buyers across the country, and we understand that in the current climate, expensive furniture can be an added high cost for people stepping a foot on the property ladder.

Spitfire Green is situated to the north of Ramsgate, three miles from the coastline, and takes its name from the town’s rich RAF history. Ramsgate benefits from a number of good transport links, with Thanet Parkway station set to be complete from the end of July with high-speed with services to Ashford and London within a seven-minute drive from the development. Residents will be within walking distance of a number of ’Outstanding’ and ‘Good’ Ofsted-rated schools, including Little Scarecrows Nursery, Newington Community Primary School and Laleham Gap School.

There is also an array of pubs, restaurants, high street stores, doctors’ surgeries and supermarkets in the town centre, whilst Westwood Retail Park is just a five-minute drive away. Ramsgate seafront will benefit from a £60million investment as the Pleasurama funfair is redevelopment, while the town and its surrounding areas will benefit from £500million of regeneration money over the next three to five years.
