Aaran Brown, (30 years old) who works at a gym in a prison, and Stephanie Hampstead, a 22-year-old nursery nurse, are a prime example:<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We were renting an apartment in Blyth Bridge and didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see buying as financially friendly enough to be an option for us,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Aaron said.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It was only after Steph discovered she was expecting in December last year that\u00e2\u20ac\u201c we could no longer ignore that we needed a larger home to accommodate our growing brood.<\/p>\n
Like an increasing number of homebuyers across the UK, Steph and Aaran were able to purchase a property fit for their growing family, through the latest government shared equity scheme,
\nHomeBuy Direct \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a three-bedroom townhouse at Miller Homes The Willows in Stone.<\/p>\n
We came to view The Willows and fell in love with both the development and the townhouse.<\/p>\n
With HomeBuy Direct being available we were able to move in sooner than we originally thought,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Steph added.<\/p>\n
HomeBuy Direct is continuing to help many first time buyers, by offering the opportunity to purchase100 percent of a brand new home by paying from just 70 percent of its value.<\/p>\n
The remaining 30 percent equity loan is co-funded by the Government and Miller Homes, meaning that a smaller deposit is required.<\/p>\n
The loan then only becomes repayable after 25 years, with no interest for the first 5 years.<\/p>\n
