Castle Green to showcase new homes in Rhosrobin, Wrexham
Castle Green Homes is hosting an event at its popular Llys Y Coed development to showcase two homes that are ready to move into. Visitors will be able to view finished examples of the four-bedroom detached Beaumont and Burlington house types. The homebuilder is offering to cover the Land Transaction Tax (LTT), also known as Stamp Duty, on both the Beaumont and Burlington, worth more than £6,000. Sales director Sian Pitt said: 'Homes at Llys y Coed are proving popular with dozens of properties already reserved and many of them occupied. While some people want to buy off plan, choose everything inside their new home and wait for us to build it for them, others are keen to move sooner rather than later. "We have two homes in Rhosrobin ready to move into and a two more the construction team are working on that haven't been sold and are due to be finished this summer. We'd invite anyone looking to make a quick move to a new home in the Wrexham area to join us next Saturday. They'll be able to view the Beaumont and Burlington house types, along with the show homes.' The Beaumont offers 1,222 sq ft of living space including a lounge at the front, with combined kitchen, dining and family room spanning the width of the property. A cloakroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, one with en-suite, plus the family bathroom. The Beaumont is available form £338,995, with the LTT contribution worth around £6,840. Priced from £329,995, the Burlington spans 1,249 sq ft and again has a lounge at the front. The kitchen/ dining room is at the rear, plus there's a cloakroom and storage cupboard. Upstairs, the main bedroom has an en-suite, leaving the family bathroom to serve the other three bedrooms. PROPERTY The LTT on this property is almost £6,300. A double fronted four-bedroom detached Bewley will be ready to move into this summer for £349,995. The ready to move event takes place on Saturday (May 24). For more information about the development visit Castle Green's website.

Wrexham: New Rhosrobin homes a hit with first-time buyers
Castle Green Homes has revealed that 66% of its homeowners at Llys y Coed in Rhosrobin are people stepping onto the housing ladder. Most of them – 58% – took out an equity loan under the Help to Buy Wales scheme to help make homeownership easier to afford. Sian Pitt, Castle Green Homes sales director said: 'First time buyers have accounted for the majority of our homeowners at Llys y Coed so far and in most cases they've used Help to Buy Wales. "The success of the scheme here demonstrates that it really does what the name suggests – it helps people buy their own home. It's only available on new build homes, priced up to £300,000 and we only have a couple of properties left within that price range now. "We'd encourage anyone thinking of using Help to Buy Wales to get in touch without delay. We'll be able to link them up with independent financial advisors to help them on their home buying journey.' The three-bedroom detached Oxford, priced from £294,995, is available with Help to Buy Wales. Someone purchasing in this way should typically only need a 5% deposit and 75% mortgage as the remaining 20% is covered by an equity loan. That loan is interest free for five years. Across Llys y Coed, the scheme has been used by 40% of purchasers, including first time buyer Phoebe Hughes. TOP STORIES TODAY The 27-year-old said: "I'd been saving for the last five or six years and tried to get into the habit of putting the same amount away every month so it wouldn't be a massive shock paying my own bills. "Towards the end of last year, interest rates were starting to drop and I spoke to mortgage advisors as I'd got to the point where I had a pretty decent deposit. 'Help to Buy made a massive difference as I'm a single buyer with just one salary and wouldn't have been able to buy this house without it. I could have bought with a 5% deposit but decided to put down a bit more to bring the monthly mortgage repayments down.' Show homes at Llys y Coed are open daily from 10am to 5pm.
