View all news

Homebuyers have two great reasons to visit Shepherd Homes’ York Dale development in Killingbeck on Saturday, January 16 and Sunday, January 17, 2010.

The homebuilder is holding a HomeBuy Direct weekend which will give prospective homebuyers the opportunity to talk to an independent financial advisor about the HomeBuy Direct scheme whilst a new one-bedroom show apartment will also be open for viewing.

York Dale comprises a thoughtfully designed collection of one- and two-bedroom apartments and with prices ranging from just £99,995 for a one-bedroom apartment to £117,995 for a two-bedroom, York Dale is a perfect location for first time buyers looking for their dream first home.

The Government-backed HomeBuy Direct scheme gives additional help to homebuyers wishing to purchase a new home. The scheme sees the Government and developer offer a jointly financed interest free equity loan of up to 30 per cent of the purchase price. All that qualified applicants require is a five per cent deposit on 70 per cent of the purchase price, helping reduce one of the major obstacles preventing many people from purchasing a home.

Under the HomeBuy Direct scheme, a spacious one-bedroom apartment similar to the show apartment could be bought for £69,996, which means mortgage payments of under £260 per month.

Shepherd Homes’ sales executive at York Dale, Maureen Cadoux, said: “HomeBuy Direct is a great way for first time buyers to get onto the property ladder and it has so far helped 24 people buy a property at York Dale. At the HomeBuy Direct weekend potential purchasers will have the opportunity to speak to the independent financial advisor to see if they are eligible for the HomeBuy Direct scheme and to see what size of property they could afford.

“The apartments at York Dale are spacious and versatile and have been completed to the high standard associated with Shepherd Homes. I would advise anyone who is interested in buying a new home to come along to our HomeBuy Direct weekend to see what is on offer.”

The one-bedroom ground floor show apartment is priced at £99,995 and is located within the Allerton block of the development. The contemporary and stylish property features neutral décor throughout giving the apartment a bright and modern feel. The property comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, fully fitted contemporary kitchen with spacious living/dining room, master bedroom and a contemporary bathroom with stainless steel fixtures.

York Dale, located just north of Leeds city centre, is tucked away from the York Road among hundreds of old and newly planted trees, a hidden oasis creating a new and vibrant community.

Ideally located for the city centre or the countryside, York Dale has great transport links and a wide variety of superb shopping and leisure opportunities.
