Larkfleet Homes helps Peterborough's first-time buyers onto the property ladder
26 January 2012
New figures recently released by Halifax show that Peterborough offers some of the most affordable first-time properties in the country which might be good news for first-time buyers in the city.
However, the Halifax report also states that high deposits are still preventing many people from getting onto the property ladder, with a typical deposit rising from 10 per cent in 2007 to 20 per cent in 2011.
With the help of Larkfleet Homes, first-time buyers in the Peterborough area can afford to own their dream first home.
Larkfleet Homes gives homebuyers a lifeline with 100 per cent mortgage offer
17 January 2012
People looking to purchase a property in the current economic climate are finding it more difficult than ever before - especially as homebuyers now have to provide a substantial property deposit that many simply cannot afford.
A recent report issued by the National Housing Federation called 'Home Truths East of England' implies that a generation has been locked out of the housing market with private rental prices expected to rise by 21 per cent in the next five years.
Larkfleet Homes has recognised this issue and is giving homebuyers a lifeline by offering a 100 per cent mortgage deal that requires no deposit.
This offer is not only available to first time buyers. Those looking for a larger property to accommodate a growing family or a property in a new location to be closer to work can also gain from Larkfleet's offer. Both first and second time buyers can benefit from a 100 per cent mortgage with no deposit to pay.
Larkfleet's offer is available on any Lar ...

Government's FirstBuy scheme will help homebuyers in Oakham
23 December 2011
House and rental prices in the Oakham area are rising - the land registry reported a 0.9 per cent increase in house prices in Rutland during September and this trend may continue into next year.
FirstBuy, a scheme to provide first-time buyers with the chance to take up a five-year interest-free loan, was announced in the March budget.
Both Larkfleet Homes and FirstBuy can help homebuyers lower the amount they need for a deposit and, if they are eligible first time buyers, this could lead to a more affordable mortgage.
In fact, purchasing a home with the help of the government's FirstBuy scheme could be cheaper than renting a property according to Larkfleet Homes.
A number of FirstBuy properties will be located on phase 1 of the Larkfleet Groups Oakham North development, a major expansion of Oakham for which development company Hawksmead, part of the Larkfleet Group, has already secured outline consent.
Hawksmead was recently granted planning approva ...
