Make a move to Locking Parklands with Help to Buy

Award-winning housebuilder St. Modwen Homes is holding a Help to Buy Weekend at its popular Locking Parklands development in Weston-super-Mare this weekend, to help prospective buyers make the move into a brand new home.

Taking place on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th September, interested purchasers will have the opportunity to meet with the St. Modwen Homes sales team and learn more about the variety of incentives available to help make buying a new home simpler and more affordable. An Independent Financial Advisor will also be on hand on Saturday to provide expert advice.

With Help to Buy, the Government lends up to 20% of the cost of a new build home, so that you only need to pay a 5% cash deposit and 75% mortgage to make up the rest. You are not charged loan fees on the 20% loan for the first five years of owning the home.

Catherine Jarrett, Head of Sales South at St. Modwen Homes, said: “The Government’s Help to Buy scheme has helped thousands of people buy a brand new property, but many people still don’t know how the scheme works or think it’s only for first time buyers looking for starter homes. Help to Buy is available to anyone wishing to buy a new home up to £600,000, which makes it ideal not just for those looking to get onto the property ladder, but for families who dream of a new home with more space.

“Purchasers can own 100% of their new home from day one with just a 5% deposit, so we’d encourage anyone thinking of making a move to come along to Locking Parklands this Saturday or Sunday to see the fantastic lifestyle we have on offer here.”

Set in beautiful parkland and surrounded by mature trees, the multi award-winning Locking Parklands offers a range of two, three, four and five-bedroom high-specification properties just four miles from the popular seaside town of Weston-super-Mare. It is located on the former RAF Locking site and is part of larger project by St. Modwen which will provide a range of community facilities including retail space, a library and school once complete.

Locking Parklands is just a short walk from Locking, which offers a range of local amenities including a Post Office, convenience store, hairdressers and village hall. There are excellent road links to both the M5 and A371, with Bristol city centre just 23 miles away. For rail users, the nearest train station is Weston Milton, which is less than three miles away, where you can catch direct links to Bristol Temple Meads in just 30 minutes, and Taunton in just over an hour.

Perfect for growing families, Locking Parklands is close to a number of good schools, including Locking County Primary School, Heron’s Moor Community Primary School, Baytree Primary School and Banwell Primary School. A brand new primary school will also be opening on the development. For older children, Worle Community School is four miles away.
