Barratt Homes reports that first-time buyers are the driving force at its new development Trinity Village in Bromley. Since it launched last year, of the 49 sales recorded to date, 61 per cent have been to first-time buyers, with 35 per cent securing a home using Barratt Homes FirstBuy scheme. With FirstBuy, buyers at the development are offered a loan of up to 20 per cent of the price of a property, jointly funded by Barratt Homes and the Government’s Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). Purchasers then only have to find the remaining 80 per cent of the price themselves, up to 75 per cent of which could be a mortgage, leaving an affordable deposit of just five per cent. It means a first-time buyer at Trinity Village could secure a one-bedroom apartment with £9,149 upfront.
