Oak Park makes the perfect choice for investors

For first time investor's Steve Maloney and his wife Sarah finding the right home in a superb location was crucial when choosing a buy- to let property.

The couple from Cirencester had been contemplating investing in a property for some time and it was after Steve had completed a work project at Barratt's Oak Park development that he realised it offered them the perfect fit.

Situated in the thriving town of Newent, Oak Park is an extremely popular development which has experienced high demand for its wide selection of designs, now with only three homes remaining.

And it was the stylish Maidstone design that caught Steve and Sarah's eyes. "The Maidstone offered exactly what we were looking for in a home. It's spacious, stylish and ideal for a family.

"After we had both seen the home and got a feel for the development we knew that it would make a great investment opportunity, so we went away and found out more about the offers available."

Becoming an investor has never been easier than with Barratt as the leading home builder offers a five year warranty on all of its homes. This includes brand new fixtures and fittings, helping to minimize the hassle of maintenance.

Barratt will also provide investors with a list of recommended solicitors and letting agents who are familiar with the buying-to-let process so everything down to finding tenants is made as easy as possible.

"Being a first time investor you never really know what to expect but Barratt has made the process really straightforward. Within six weeks we had bought the house and a month after that a local estate agent found us our first tenants,'' said Steve.

Barratt sales director Andrea Pilgrim said, "We have seen a huge increase in demand for Landlords in Newent and with all the offers available from Barratt now really is a better time than ever to invest."
