First-time buyers to visit Biddenham housebuilder’s special Help to Buy event

- 20 Sep 19

Home-hunters in Biddenham will attend a housebuilder’s special first-time buyer event this weekend to find out about the support available through a Government scheme.

First-time buyers and families are invited to Bovis Homes’ St Marys in Kings Field location, off The Great Ouse Way, to view the new-build homes available – including from the housebuilder’s new homes collection - and learn more about the Help to Buy – Equity Loan initiative.

The Help to Buy event will take place on Sunday, 22nd September from 12pm-4pm, and visitors will be able to speak with Bovis Homes’ sales colleagues.

Heather Suffield, regional marketing manager at Bovis Homes, said: “Next weekend’s Help to Buy event at St Marys in Kings Field promises to be a brilliant opportunity for first-time buyers to view our new-build homes, which includes those from our new range.

“We are very proud of the quality of homes at St Marys in Kings Field and that we have great options for those wanting to climb onto the housing ladder.”

St Marys in Kings Field is three miles from Bedford with excellent transport and commuter links. Bedford has a choice of local schools, community, leisure and sports facilities and great shopping and restaurants.

Bedford railway station is two miles away with regularly trains to London St Pancras, a trip of about 40 minutes.

Bedford Golf Club is only a short drive away and there's an international athletics stadium and rowing and kayak clubs in Bedford with water sports at Box End Park. Priory Country Park is one of three in Bedford with Green Flag Status, offering walks, wildlife, fishing, boating, play areas and bird-watching.

There are small convenience stores and a Sainsburys supermarket just over one mile from St Marys in Kings Field. In Bedford, independent shops sit alongside major retailers and leading department stores.

There are three schools in Biddenham; a lower, middle and upper school and others nearby, including four independent schools.

Using the Help to Buy – Equity Loan scheme, home buyers need just a five per cent cash deposit, with the Government providing an equity loan of up to 20 per cent of the value of the property being bought. Purchasers then need to secure up to a 75 per cent mortgage.
