"YOU need a huge deposit if you're buying for the first time," is a familiar complaint from people who have been priced out of the property market for years...

But now help is at hand for anyone who wants to buy their first home in 2010 thanks to an outstanding New Year offer from Coventry's leading housebuilder.

Barratt Mercia will match pound for pound the deposits saved by first-time buyers up to five per cent of the purchase price of selected new homes.

"On a property worth £150,000, we can contribute up to £7,500 towards your deposit," said Julia Higgins, Sales Manager for Barratt Mercia.

"For many people in Coventry this could make the difference between having to continue renting and being able to move into their own home."

"This is a great incentive for all would-be homeowners to make a New Year's resolution to save as many extra pounds as possible."

"Plenty of New Year resolutions are forgotten by February. But we think the goal of home ownership is well worth saving those extra pounds for."

For added peace of mind buyers can also benefit from Barratt's new five year guarantee on fixtures and fittings in their new home at the time of purchase.
