There really is no better time to buy a beautiful new home from Kier Partnership Homes; the government’s Stamp Duty holiday, introduced in 2010 to help first-time buyers, finishes on 24 March 2012. After this date, 1% Stamp Duty will be payable on homes priced between £125,000 and £250,000, meaning an extra cost of up to £2,500.
However, there is no need to worry just yet; Kier has a range of three and four-bedroom family homes, available to reserve NOW and complete well before 24 March, at Balaam Wood – its popular development at Tessall Lane, Birmingham.
First-time buyers can take advantage of the FirstBuy scheme, which is designed to help new home buyers onto the property ladder by making their first home much more affordable. You pay only 80% of the purchase price now, with an equity loan on the remaining 20%, which is interest free for the first five years. We have only a limited number of properties available with this special government approved scheme and they’re selling fast! Prices start from as little as £131,996 for a three-bedroom home with FirstBuy.
All homes at Balaam Wood benefit from a stunning contemporary kitchen complete with dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The bathrooms and en suites are also finished to a modern design, with quality chrome fittings.
Close to the A38, Balaam Wood is just a short drive or bus ride from Birmingham city centre, while Northfield train station offers a regular service into Birmingham New Street station in just 18 minutes. The development enjoys easy access to the M5 and the M42, and Birmingham airport is approximately 30 minutes’ drive time away.
For those of you who need to move quickly this New Year and have a house to sell, Kier is offering part-exchange on selected homes (subject to criteria). You will need to move fast if this proposition appeals to you, as availability is limited. There really is no time to lose!
