Portford Homes offers reassurances to Wakefield buyers - August 01

If the idea of being the first to live in a brand new house is still appealing, then look no further than Portford Homes where the housebuilder has a great choice of new homes, at the right price and ready to move into.

Putting your key into a shiny new lock and being the very first person to live in a brand-new property is still an exciting part of buying a new home, but with increasing uncertainty in the housing market many buyers have been hesitant in taking that step.

Now, Portford Homes is reassuring purchasers that there really never has been a better time to buy a new build property, especially in light of the recent mortgage rate cuts which should leave buyers feeling a little more optimistic.

David Mackintosh, Sales and Marketing Director at Portford Homes says: "In the current financial climate, it's easy to assume that the affordable mortgage is about to join the tiger and orang-utan on the endangered species list. But there's no need to call in David Attenborough just yet - there are still opportunities out there!"

The rate changes reinforce Portford Homes' opinion that despite tougher market conditions, there is still business to be done and the housebuilder has some great deals for buyers who still want to move.  

At Chantry Square in Wakefield, easing the burden on those stretched purse strings and allowing buyers complete piece of mind when purchasing their new home is one of Portford Homes' top priorities.

Continues David Mackintosh: "Not only are we offering very competitive prices and incentives for anyone who is in a position to proceed, but for those who can't we are also offering localised part exchanges on selected plots.
"We also have recommended Independent Financial Advisors available that can give you the right advice and get the best mortgage deal available on the market for you. Many purchasers mistakenly believe that there are no mortgages available at the moment however, although lenders have tightened up their criteria there are still a significant number of excellent deals out there, making it possible for you to make that move.'

Chantry Square is a stunning new development of contemporary houses and apartments, set on the fringe of Wakefield City centre.
Architecturally, these homes make a real statement. They say something about who you are, what you like and where you're going. Regardless of what you're looking for; a family home, or modern apartment, at Chantry Square you'll get the best of both worlds and naturally, a great specification.

The exceptional location is perfect for enjoying everything Chantry Square has to offer. You'll find yourself only minutes from Wakefield city centre with its many shops, bars and restaurants. In fact, life, the way you want to enjoy it is what you'll get from the very first day you move in.

Prices at Chantry Square start from just £99,950 for an apartment and £227,500 for a large three-bedroom townhouse. For further information call the sales centre on  01924 335861 which is open from Friday to Monday 10am to 5pm.
