A TASTE of Italy is coming to Winsford as developer Barratt Homes hosts a first time buyers event at Weaver View.

Wood fired pizza ovens will be on site to provide freshly prepared hot food for prospective purchasers.

Lynton Dudgeon, sales director at Barratt Homes North West, said: “We are delighted to invite Cheshire property seekers to our first time buyers event this weekend.

“With our experienced sales advisers on hand to answer any questions buyers may have and inform them about the Help to Buy scheme available which is perfect for those purchasing first time.

"It’s a great opportunity for those looking to take their first step on to the property ladder.”

The government backed Help to Buy scheme allows buyers to purchase a home with just a five per cent deposit and a 75 per cent mortgage. The remaining 20 per cent is funded by an equity loan, interest-free for the first five years and repayable on the sale on the home, so it’s even easier for buyers to get a move on.

Lynton added: “We are encouraging any one who is looking to attend the event to register their interest soon, to avoid disappointment and ensure they get a slice of the action!”

The first time buyer's event will be held at the on site sales and information centre on Townsfield Road on Saturday from 10am to 4pm.
