First time buyers find their place to call home at Calthorpe Gardens, Banbury
It’s not easy to get a foot onto the property ladder but take inspiration from this couple who recently moved into their brand-new Shared Ownership home at Calthorpe Gardens in Banbury.
First time buyers Hollie and Alastair spent three years diligently saving for a deposit by keeping an eye on budgets and prioritising their day-to-day expenses. They also moved in with Hollie’s mum, which saved them money.
They had already read about the Shared Ownership scheme and knew that it could help them achieve their dream of home ownership, and when they made their first call to Calthorpe Gardens, their decision was made: “When we spoke to the Sales Consultant, we just had a good vibe of how well we were going to be treated by Orbit Homes.”
After visiting the development, the couple chose the 2-bedroom Fern: “Which is so much bigger than other 2 beds we had viewed elsewhere.”
The homes at Calthorpe Gardens are built to our high all-inclusive specification and offer great value for money; integrated kitchen appliances, carpets and Amtico flooring fitted throughout, fitted wardrobe, fencing and turf to the rear garden are all included as standard; things that other housebuilders charge as extras.
When reserving their new home and throughout the buying process which, as first time buyers, they admitted was a little daunting, they were grateful for the help given by our Sales Consultant Denise: “She was absolutely amazing! She was with us the whole way through, and we felt so supported.”
Since moving into their new home, Hollie tells us: “We love our house for different reasons every day.”
They are excited to finally have their independence and a blank canvas they can make their own, and their friends and families love their home too: “They love visiting and are very impressed with the size of the house and the garden.”
After buying their first home with Shared Ownership, Hollie and Alastair have this to say to others who are looking for a helping hand onto the property ladder: “If you are thinking of buying with Shared Ownership, we highly recommend it and you will always feel at ease especially with Orbit Homes.”
