Michael Goodwin, Sales Manager for Barratt Homes, commented:

Vision@Lakeside has been an incredibly popular development with first time buyers, and it’s easy to see why, with a variety of affordable homes available in a prime location. Help to Buy has been pivotal in helping families in Scunthorpe onto the property ladder, and it’s great to see that reflected in over half of the purchases at our development.

The Government extending the Help to Buy scheme has provided a new surge of interest from local buyers – team this with the removal of stamp duty, low interest rates and banks becoming more and more flexible and it becomes apparent that now is the time to purchase your dream new home – and where better to settle than in an up and coming town like Scunthorpe?!
