Exclusive to brand-new properties, the First Homes scheme is designed to help local first-time buyers and key workers purchase a home with a 30% discount compared to market value. These homes remain discounted for future eligible buyers, ensuring long-term affordability.
At Affinity on Derwent Chase, two bedroom apartments are now available from just £136,500 under the scheme. These thoughtfully designed homes feature contemporary open-plan layouts, a range of kitchens to choose from and generous bedrooms, ideal for young professionals and executive couples.
To be eligible for the First Homes scheme, buyers must be first-time purchasers aged 18 or older, be able to proceed with a mortgage application and have a combined household income of less than £80,000 (or £90,000 in London). Buyers must also meet a criteria determined by the local authority.
New homes cannot cost more than £250,000 (or £420,000 in London) after the discount has been applied.
Sam Wood, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Yorkshire West, said: “The First Homes scheme presents a fantastic opportunity to get on the property ladder and we are pleased to offer a collection of eligible homes at Affinity.
“We recommend any house hunters interested in our brand-new properties to visit our Sales Advisers to discuss availability and eligibility.”
Situated in the heart of the growing Waverley community, Affinity offers a perfect balance of green space and connectivity. With easy access to the M1, Sheffield and Rotherham are just a short drive away, whilst schools, shops, and the nearby Rother Valley Country Park enhance everyday living.
