Part Buy-Part Rent Available In Huntingdon

Crest Nicholson has a number of apartments at the growing Alconbury Weald community near Huntingdon which are available on a part buy-part rent basis – perfect for first-time buyers on a limited budget.

The housebuilder operates the Home Reach initiative, in partnership with heylo, which provides the opportunity to purchase 50% of the new home and pay rent on the rest, with heylo the landlord. This means that a much smaller deposit is required, and a much smaller mortgage, so those with modest savings and income can take a first step on the property ladder. It’s cheaper than renting and there’s an opportunity to purchase a greater share at a later date. The buyer can decorate and personalise their home, to the and has the flexibility to sell and move at any point.

The scheme is available on properties at Wellington House, which comprises a contemporary selection of one- and two-bedroom apartments. The homes are ideal for first-time buyers with prices starting at £90,000 for a 50% share.

Karen Coulson, sales and marketing director at Crest Nicholson Eastern, commented: “The introduction of Home Reach at our Alconbury Weald development is already proving popular. It’s an ideal option for first time buyers that need an additional helping hand to get onto the property ladder, as you don’t need to save up a hefty deposit – you can buy with a deposit of as little as £4,500. We’d urge anyone who wants to find out more to get in touch with our friendly sales executives at Alconbury Weald.”
