Top new offers for homebuyers in Sheffield
Located in South Yorkshire, Sheffield is one of the north's most up-and-coming cities. Its excellent transport links make it easy to travel all over the UK, making it the ideal place for commuters to set up home. With a whole host of offers available at the moment, there has perhaps never been a better time to buy in the city.
Homebuy Direct
First-time buyers looking to own a property in Sheffield may want to take advantage of Homebuy Direct, a government-backed scheme aimed at making the process easier. They will be offered an equity loan of up to 30 per cent of a property's value, which is co-funded by the government and the developer. Successful applicants will be able to take their pick from a range of properties made available by the developer, with the loan available without a fee for the first five years. Those interested in the Homebuy Direct scheme must have an annual income of less than £60,000 and otherwise be unable to get on the property ladder.
There are a few developments in Sheffield offering Homebuy Direct at the moment. One is the Normanby in Darnall, where a two-bedroom property is currently on the market. It is located close to all of the city's amenities and transport links, making travelling around the city and the rest of the UK easy.
The Carriages is another option, which is to be found right in the heart of Sheffield. The four-bedroom townhouse would be perfect for family living. For those in search of something a bit further out of the city, the Gateway could be a good choice, where a three-bedroom house can be bought through Homebuy Direct.
Part exchange
People thinking of moving to Sheffield who think it might be difficult to sell their existing property might want to consider part exchange. One developer is offering this deal at the moment, meaning homebuyers can move into their new home for less. The developer buys the property from the owner to guarantee the sale, leaving the house hunter free to look for their ideal home in the city.
Viewpoint currently has homes on the market through a part exchange programme, giving people the chance to own a two-bedroom apartment. The properties come complete with spacious living areas, fully-fitted kitchens and three-piece bathrooms.
