Homeowners at 23, Thanks to Rippon

RIPPON HOMES has helped a young couple get onto the property ladder at its Kensington Place development in Ilkeston, thanks to its shared equity scheme.

Recently engaged Lynette Gould, 23 and Chris Chadwick, 24, moved into their new home at Kensington Place in June after opting for Easy Way, Rippon’s shared equity initiative. This meant that the pair could purchase their dream property at just 75% of the cost, deferring the remaining payment of 25% for 10 years or until they sell their property, whichever comes sooner.

Chris and Lynette have now secured their place on the property ladder, and after Lynette was successfully offered her position as support medical secretary just three days after they moved in, it appears the pair’s luck is in full flow.

Chris, recent graduate at Nottingham Trent University, commented, “Lynette and I chose a Rippon property simply because they are a head and shoulders above any other housebuilder we have experienced.

“We received so much more for our money, not to mention the fantastic range of incentives we have benefitted from. After renting for over 18 months we decided to look into homeownership, but purchasing a brand new property with so much to offer was never even considered, until we visited Kensington Place.

“The service we received from the development’s Sales Advisor, Jas, was amazing and her extensive knowledge of Kensington Place was really helpful. She explained Rippon’s shared equity scheme and how we could benefit from it and from there on it was out of our hands.

“We were provided with a financial advisor who got us a fantastic deal on our mortgage. Rippon Homes has been just brilliant throughout our whole experience and we would recommend them to anyone dreaming of owning a home.”

Tracey McLaren, Sales and Marketing Manager for Rippon Homes commented, “I am delighted that Chris and Lynette have found their dream home at Kensington Place. It’s fantastic that our shared equity scheme has helped them achieve more than they were hoping for.

“Easy Way has helped many of our first time buyers to take that first valuable step onto the property ladder and most are finding the scheme a much easier and inexpensive alternative to renting.

“Kensington Place is a fantastic development and idyllic for first time buyers such as Chris and Lynette, so for anyone wanting to register their interest I would advise them to do so soon as this is a development in demand.”

The development is situated on Kensington Gardens in Ilkeston, just 20 minutes from the city of Nottingham, which boasts fantastic national transport networks. The development is also located with access to local primary and secondary schools, shopping, and leisure facilities.

Kensington Place comprises a stunning collection of two-, three- and four-bedroom properties priced from £147,950. There are only eight properties remaining at this development so it’s recommended that anyone interested reserve now.
