NEW idEas To HELP REjuvENaTE THE HousiNG MaRKET

The recent budget brought with it a new wave of positivity in respect of the housing market, opening up the viability of home-ownership to potentially hundreds of thousands more people through new government-backed home incentive schemes.

One of the moves for change has been the announcement of the Governments’ ‘Help to Buy’ scheme which extends the previous ‘Firstbuy’ scheme to everyone. This means that homeowners now need to acquire just a 5% deposit, instead of the 10% or greater that many banks are demanding for their mortgages. Whereas the previous scheme ‘FirstBuy’ was only open to first-time buyers, this one will be available to all buyers of newly built homes up to the value of £600,000.

This is a great idea to get the market moving and at RPC Land & New Homes we have certainly been seeing an increase in enquiries from first time buyers who are now able to take that all important first step. This should in turn create a chain reaction for creating sales of homes for those further up the ladder too.

sue Taylor, New Homes director explains:“Now that Spring has sprung it is great to see such a positive turn around within the housing market. The new government backed ‘Help to Buy’ comes at a fantastic time. This will open up the market and creates options for everyone, not just first time buyers. We are hopeful that these changes will increase desire for new homes and reinvigorate the building industry as a whole. ”

Meanwhile, at RPC Land & New Homes we have also been ringing the changes, with a fresh new-look to our website. We have worked hard on making the home page easy to navigate, so it is now even simpler for potential buyers to search for new homes or land owners to advertise their land for sale. RPC Land & New Homes’ new website acts as a ‘one stop shop’ for developers whether they want to buy land or sell new homes.

We look forward with enthusiasm to a continued thawing of the housing market and an upturn in interest in new build homes as the year commences.
