Homebuilder to host exclusive event for Fenland homebuyers this weekend

House hunters in Cambridgeshire can take away valuable mortgage advice and learn more about the next steps in buying a property at Barratt Homes’ upcoming event.

Taking place on Saturday and Sunday at Barratt Homes’ Whittlesey Lakeside development, the event will offer keen property seekers the chance to talk to the expert team to find out if they are eligible for Barratt Homes’ Movemaker scheme, and benefit from Stamp Duty fees paid on a new home.

Prospective buyers can book an appointment to receive expert one-to-one advice, providing welcome assurance to those who are unsure if they can make a step onto the property ladder.

The Movemaker scheme is completed in five simple steps:

Step 1 - Reserve a Home

Find the perfect home at the right price, and even if it’s still being built, you can rest assured that the price is fixed for an agreed period of time.

Step 2 - Value an Existing Property

Barratt Homes will instruct an estate agent who will arrange two independent valuations of the customer’s current property.

Step 3 - Agree the Selling Price

Once a price is agreed, the Movemaker agreement can then be completed, and the estate agent will begin to market the existing property.

Step 4 - Find a Buyer

The estate agent will help to complete the sale smoothly and efficiently.

Step 5 - Moving Day

It’s time to move into a brand-new home.

Alison Raine, sales director at Barratt Homes Northampton, said: “Purchasing a home is the biggest investment you are likely to make and we have arranged an event to ensure buyers have all the information they need ahead of stepping onto the property ladder.

“We encourage anyone interested in getting on the property ladder to attend the event, and house hunters will also have the chance to look around Whittlesey Lakeside over the weekend.”
