Wiltshire homebuyers are being offered a deposit contribution of £12,000 when they purchase a new property at a site near Swindon.

Bellway's offer, which runs until Thursday, October 31, will see the homebuilder provide up to three per cent of the purchase price to boost the buyers’ deposit.

The offer is available on selected plots at Redlands Grove in Wanborough.

First-time buyers Sebastian and Joanna Adamczyk benefited from a similar deposit contribution offer from Bellway to purchase an apartment at the housebuilder’s Copperhouse Green development in Dartford.

Mr and Mrs Adamczyk, who moved into their new home in July, said: "It all worked out that with the deposit contribution from Bellway we were able to afford to buy the apartment.

"The specification and finish of this home is of the highest quality which makes it feel like we are living in a five-star hotel all the time.

“We actually moved into this apartment - our dream home - on July 19, which was our 10th wedding anniversary.

"Living here is the best present we could ever have given ourselves. We now pay a monthly mortgage of £1,730 which is £20 less than the rent we were paying for the flat in Streatham and it is so much more stylish and more energy efficient.”

Tim Lund, sales director for Bellway South West, added: "This is an incredible offer which is specifically designed to help prospective homebuyers buy the energy-efficient, new-build home they have dreamed of but without having to save for years for a large deposit.

"The incentive, which is open to purchasers who make a reservation on selected plots before the deadline day of October 31, will allow buyers to take advantage of a significant boost to their deposit which will help bring their monthly mortgage payments down.

"This can make the crucial difference and bring a new home within the budget of more and more people.

"We would encourage anyone who might benefit from this deposit contribution to get in touch.

"Our expert staff will explain the details and guide them through the process, which could see them achieving their goal of homeownership much sooner than they thought possible."
