Orbit First Step has only 7 properties remaining at its Harleston development
Find out more at Open Event on Saturday 14 March between 10am and 3pm

With only a few affordable properties remaining at this prestigious development of brand new homes Harleston in Norfolk, potential buyers are invited to an open event at Sancroft Square, on Mendham Lane, between 10am and 3pm on Saturday 14 March. Visitors to the event will have the opportunity to enter a free prize draw to win £50 of shopping vouchers and a local independent financial adviser and solicitor will also be on hand to provide no-obligation advice to those who require it.

Be sure to note the date in your diary, as this could be your last opportunity to secure a one or two-bedroom apartment on the development under the New Build HomeBuy scheme. This part buy, part rent scheme enables purchasers to buy a share in the property and shares of just 25 per cent are available from £20,000 (subject to terms and conditions).

Most purchasers raise a mortgage to purchase their share, and then pay a subsidised rent to Orbit First Step on the remaining share. Purchasers can buy additional shares in the future if they wish, meaning that one day they could be the outright owner with no further rent to pay.

Built by Persimmon Homes, each property comes complete with carpets, a fitted kitchen, including an oven, hob and hood; gas central heating; double glazing, fitted wardrobes and an allocated parking space. In addition, the 2-bedroom apartments feature an ensuite bathroom. The development is also in a fantastic location, providing easy access to Norwich, Diss and Ipswich.

Orbit First Step’s Sales and Marketing Manager, Karen Coleman said: “Our properties on this development have proved very popular with all our three-bedroom houses now sold and only a few of the apartments still on the market. Affordable properties in the area are in short supply and with these offering exceptional value for money, we would urge anyone who is interested to come along and talk to our friendly staff at the event and perhaps you can be settled into your new home in time for the summer.”

If you are unable to attend the event but are interested in any of the available properties, you can call Orbit First Step on 08458 50 20 50 to arrange a visit at a later date. Alternatively, you can visit www.orbithomebuyagents.co.uk.

Part of the Orbit Group, Orbit First Step HomeBuy Agency is the government appointed HomeBuy Agent for Norfolk and Suffolk (excluding Forest Heath and St Edmundsbury) and acts as the one stop shop for low cost home ownership options. The association not only helps first time buyers take their first step onto the property ladder, it also helps those who need to move from their current home following a change in circumstances.
