Local buyers can save thousands on a luxurious new apartment in Brentwood with Weston Homes

The Discount Market Sale scheme at Weston Homes' 1023 West development could help you save a sizeable amount of money

If you are on the hunt for your first home and want to fully own the property rather than be part of shared ownership, then you are in luck.

If you live or work in Brentwood you could be eligible to save 20% on a new Discount Market Sale (DMS) home at Weston Homes' 1023 West development.

The modern one and two-bedroom apartments are ideal for first-time buyers, or those looking to downsize, and with a range of DMS homes available starting from £265,000, buyers can not only enjoy the savings but also live in a highly sought-after area.

Tell me more about the DMS scheme

Although it may sound complicated, the DMS scheme is pretty straightforward.

Working in partnership with Brentwood Borough Council, Weston Homes has allocated a number of plots that are available to buy at just 80% of their market value but still giving you 100% of the ownership.

In order to qualify for the DMS scheme at Weston Homes' 1023 West development, there are a number of eligibility criteria including conditions such as buyers should either live or work in the Brentwood area, helping to give local residents an opportunity to get onto the property ladder.

Each apartment available with the DMS scheme at the Brentwood development comes with the same fully-inclusive specification as the other properties on the development.

Ashley Gale, Regional Sales Director at Weston Homes is proud to be able to offer such a scheme. He said: "The DMS scheme gives people a chance to buy one of our fantastic, all-inclusive private apartments but with a great discount.

"Each apartment is finished to the same exceptional standard as you'd find in any of our other new homes, just these particular ones also include the fantastic 20% saving.

"It's different to shared ownership as with this scheme you'll own your home outright and there's no debt hanging over your shoulders other than your mortgage.

"People often think there are a lot of hoops you have to jump through to qualify but the process is straight-forward and the scheme is designed to help local buyers onto the property ladder."

If you are not eligible to buy a new home with the help of Discount Market Sale, do not worry, as there are still a wide range of open market one and two bedroom apartments priced from £355,000.

What about the apartments?

The 1023 West development of one and two-bedroom apartments, as well as a collection of three and four-bedroom houses (of which are all now sold), is highly sought after and for good reason.

Each apartment comes with contemporary open-plan living areas, perfect for entertaining or unwinding after a long day. There is also Hyperfast 1Gbps broadband available making working from home a lot more convenient, as well as satisfying all your streaming or gaming needs.

With a choice of flooring throughout, purchasers can also choose from a range of designer kitchen units and quartz stone worktops.

The kitchens come fitted to the highest standards with a Fascino instant boiling and filtered water tap and Zanussi integrated fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and dishwasher.

Each bathroom comes with a choice of RAK Ceramics porcelain bathroom wall and floor tile colours with a matte finish. There is also plenty of Smart technology including a Fascino digitally controlled Smart tap, shower and/or bath.

Located in sought-after Brentwood, the high street is filled with an abundance of shops and boutique stores. There is also a thriving nightlife with plenty of restaurants and bars.

The 1023 West development has the best of both worlds as it is just a short walk to the high street with all of the amenities that you could wish for. Should you need to travel into the City, Brentwood train station, with links to London Liverpool Street and Stratford in under 40 minutes, is conveniently just a quick 15 minute walk away.

For drivers, 1023 West has excellent links to the nearby M25 less than five miles away which has easy access in and around London. The A12 is just as close with routes through Essex to Chelmsford, Colchester and through to Ipswich and beyond.

The development is in a more than ideal location. Ashley Gale said: "You really benefit from being so close to the town centre without the busy hustle and bustle of the traffic and shoppers to worry about.

"Five minutes in one direction and you can be in the high street and the train station, or in the other direction you are on the M25 or A12.

"The development itself is very attractive with a mix of different property styles and mature landscaped grounds. Offering the 20% saving on selected Discount Market Sale homes, it really does tick all the boxes."

Discount Market Sale homes start from £265,000 (price reflects the 20% saving, subject to eligibility criteria). To book a viewing of the show home and enquire about the range of one and two bedroom apartments available at 1023 West, visit the Weston Homes website or call 01277 583 141.
