A super-safe, ultra stylish new development has been opened in
Job's Yard Kettering.
Jobs Court, a £3.8 million build developed by housing and
regeneration group LHA-ASRA, was originally a coachworks and
mechanics workshop.
Located in the heart of Kettering town centre, the 21 one and
two-bed apartments are just a stone's throw from shops, local
amenities and transportation links.
The apartments provide secure undercover parking, electronic
access and video intercom which all add to the high-tech systems in
place.
The development is contemporary in style meeting Kettering's
aesthetic vision for a vibrant town centre. Apartment interiors are
expertly designed, maximising both light and space.
Jobs Court is for people struggling to obtain an affordable
mortgage. Schemes such as Rent to Homebuy or Intermediate Rent
allow tenants to rent a property for up to five years on a short
hold tenancy reviewed annually. The cost, per month, for renting
one of the apartments ranges from £430 - £500.
The option also exists to buy on shared ownership whereby the
tenant can buy a percentage of the property that they are in while
paying a subsidised rent on the remaining equity. Intermediate Rent
is in effect a 'try before you buy'.
Anita Wolf, LHA-ASRA sales and marketing officer, said: "Jobs
Court will provide affordable housing for people eager to own their
own property. Homebuyers can expect stylish and spacious
urban living in the town centre.
"I think it's a great asset to the area and a fantastic
opportunity for renters to get a step on the housing ladder, using
the shared ownership option available on this property."
You may be eligible for Rent to HomeBuy if you are a first-time
buyer with a yearly household income of up to £60,000.
The apartments at Jobs Court require a minimum annual income of
£15,000 for the one bedroom units and a minimum annual income
of £16,000 for the two bedroom units.
