It also has good size bedrooms, the main bedroom fitted wardrobes and a fully fitted bathroom. Complete with one allocated parking bay to the parking court at the back of the building.
Appliances included are gifted such as the oven/hob and extractor. There is a space for your own fridge freezer and washing machine. Any flooring is also gifted with this property.
The rent is £705.55 pcm. Includes service charge. The deposit is £705.55. With the Rent to Buy scheme you rent your home for a 5-year period at an intermediate rent of 80% to market rent.
To be eligible, you must be in employment. The idea is that this allows you to save up for a deposit in this time period.
After the 5 year rental period, you will then have the opportunity to purchase your home (100% including freehold) directly from Hellens Residential at market value.
The rent that you pay throughout this time does not contribute to the purchase of property.
If after 5 years you do not want to buy then you are able to continue renting at market rent levels, end your tenancy, or we may sell the property on the open market.
The 5-year rental period is as follows: 1-year probationary tenancy (You are not able to end your tenancy is this period) 2-year fixed tenancy 2-year fixed tenancy Apply directly through our website - click RENT A HOME then APPLY FOR A HOME to be offered a viewing
