New homes developer Larkfleet Homes has launched a new package of initiatives aimed at making buying a house as easy and trouble-free as possible - while also cutting the cost.

The package has been named ‘Ezy options' and includes:

• Ezy-exchange: Larkfleet could take a buyer's existing home in part-exchange for a new Larkfleet home. The scheme means that the purchaser is not caught in a ‘chain' of buyers and sellers and there are no estate agents' fees for selling the existing property.

• Ezy-move: Similar to part exchange but Larkfleet does not actually buy the existing home - instead it helps to sell it while reserving a chosen Larkfleet home. Larkfleet will pay all estate agency fees.

• Ezy-share: Buyers can purchase a new Larkfleet home but pay only 85 per cent of the initial cost. Larkfleet will pay the remaining 15 per cent and the purchasers then have ten years to pay the company back - with no interest added to the cost.

• Ezy-money: If buyers use the services offered by Larkfleet's recommended financial advisers and solicitors to complete their purchase, Larkfleet will give them cheques to the value of £500 to use in its ‘Just for You Centre' where they can choose accessories to personalise their home. Because Larkfleet's recommended professionals are familiar with the company's properties they can provide an exceptionally fast and efficient service.

• Ezy-give: Young people buying their first home can get onto the property ladder earlier than would otherwise be possible if family or friends will lend them 20 per cent of the purchase price. The homebuyers will have a smaller mortgage at a lower interest rate and the relatives or friends lending the money will get a five per cent return on their investment.

• Ezy-forces: Assists people from the armed forces to purchase a new home. Benefits include payment of a five per cent deposit, payment of up to £500 towards legal costs, carpets, turfed gardens and a £2,000 voucher to spend in the ‘Just for You Centre'.

Jason Colmer, sales director for Larkfleet Homes, said: "It is all about making it easy for customers to buy a new home in a way that suits them.

"Within the Ezy range there are benefits to help in a huge range of circumstances, from first-time buyers to people downsizing or moving to the UK after years of service overseas with the armed forces."
