Bovis Homes Offers Developments For All Budgets In Bristol
Bovis Homes boasts a diverse portfolio of new homes in Bristol to suit buyers on a wide range of budgets - from starter homes available through the Jumpstart shared equity scheme, which can be secured with a deposit of as little as £6,525, right up to luxurious, executive homes with a price tag of more than £485,000. This housebuilder is also signed up to the NewBuy scheme that allows buyers access to affordable 95% mortgages.
East of the city centre
There are a couple of developments about three or four miles east of the city centre that are well-suited to first-time buyers, with purchase assistance schemes available to help make buying more affordable. The Speedwell and St George areas offer a good range of local shops and amenities, including Kingswood Leisure Centre, pleasant St George's Park, the nature reserve at Troopers Hill, and a good choice of primary and secondary schools. At the same time, commuters enjoy excellent links with the M32 and the A420, and Bristol Temple Meads mainline railway station is only about three miles away.
At The Hollies in Speedwell, about three miles east of the city centre, a two-bedroom apartment with fitted kitchen, master bedroom with en suite, and separate family bathroom, can be secured with a 5% deposit of just £6,525 through the Bovis Homes Jumpstart scheme. The standard purchase price is £130,495, but with Jumpstart the initial cost is only 85% of this (£110,921), and the remaining amount is covered by an equity loan from the housebuilder. Buyers still own 100% of their new home from day one, and have ten years to pay back the interest-free equity loan. Just a short walk away in St George, Snowberry Gardens is a development of two- and three-bedroom homes priced from £132,995 to £219,995, with a large supermarket and other amenities very close by.
South of the city centre
Bluebell Drive in Ashton Vale offers a selection of mid-priced, mid-sized three-bedroom homes to suit families and couples, priced from £182,595 upwards. Situated near Bedminster in south Bristol, these new homes are within easy striking distance of the M32, the M4 and the M5 for commuters. Bluebell Drive also has several primary and secondary schools close by for families with children -- and the surrounding area offers plenty to do during leisure time, from all the shops and entertainment of Bristol city centre, just three miles away, to day trips to the beaches at Weston Super Mare or Portishead. Other buyer incentives at Bluebell Drive include the government-backed FirstBuy shared equity scheme; Home Exchange, whereby you trade in your old home against a new one; and Smooth Move, which saves you time and money when you move house.
North of the city centre
In the leafy, sought-after Sneyd Park suburb of Bristol, on the western fringe of Clifton Down, Bovis Homes has created an exclusive new development called Cloister Gardens, made up of luxurious three-, four- and five-bedroom homes priced from £485,000. Surrounded by Victorian and Edwardian villas, tranquil Leigh Woods and Ashton Court Estate are both close by, and Bristol city centre is just a short drive away. The new homes at Cloister Gardens also benefit from a good range of local independent and boutique shops, top restaurants; and a range of highly regarded schools for all ages.
