Forge Wood

Couple buy first home at Forge Wood

Oliver Fowler and his fiancée are celebrating moving out of their family homes after successfully saving enough money to put a deposit down on a two bedroom apartment here at Forge Wood.

Oliver said: "We were really drawn to the development because of its location. I have to travel for work so the accessibly transport links make this a lot easier. We were also really attracted to the idea of having greenery, shops and, most importantly, the huge range of options to customise our property."

The couple used Help to Buy: Equity Loan to purchase their new home. Oliver said: "By being able to use Help to Buy: Equity Loan, we were able to buy a two bedroom new build rather than an older property that might have been smaller. We feel very at home here at Forge Wood and love how close we are to amenities such as shops, cinemas and bars. All of the staff were very helpful whilst we were purchasing and we are extremely thankful to them for making it so easy."

Help to Buy: Equity Loan

The Government backed Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme is available here. The scheme is open to both first time buyers and home movers alike, and means you'll need just 5% deposit to buy a new home.

With Help to Buy, the Government will lend you up to 20% of the value of your new build home via an equity loan. You will need to secure up to a 75% mortgage and put down a 5% deposit. You’ll own 100% of your home from day one.
