PERSIMMON Homes South Midlands has launched the government-funded First Time Buyers' Initiative (FTBI) at its Cleobury Meadows development in Cleobury Mortimer.
Thanks to funding from the government's national regeneration agency, first time buyers who find themselves priced out of the housing market in their local area may be able to secure a property.
FTBI on Cleobury Meadows is open to individuals who live in the wider area of the town, incorporating parts of Shropshire and Worcestershire, and do not own a property, including key public sector workers such as the police, nurses and teachers.
Alison Reading, sales director of Persimmon Homes South Midlands, said: "Cleobury Meadows is one of very few developments offering the initiative in the West Midlands. We are offering just 16 two bedroom properties as part of the scheme and would therefore urge anyone looking for their first home to contact us."
