BloorHomesStart 2
Own 100% of your property
You pay an agreed percentage of the price before you move in, then pay the remaining percentage (of the current value of the property) when you decide to sell. Or you may choose to settle in full at any time within the next 10 years*
BloorHomesStart 2 is a new and exciting scheme by Bloor Homes, which gives you the chance to own 100% of your new home for an agreed percentage of the price now.
With this scheme, it has been shown that it can be cheaper to buy a brand new home rather than rent a property.
Particularly in the current market where the cost of houses is lower than it has been for some time, now is an ideal time to buy, as historically it has been known for properties to recover and increase to above their market value over a 5-10 year period.
Typical Example (based on 90% / 10%):
Purchase a typical Bloor Home priced at £205,000. You pay just 90% (£184,500) of the value at time of purchase. You then have up to 10 years to pay the remaining 10% balance at the current market value at the time of repayment.
This is secured by a second mortgage. i.e if the property is sold or transferred for £210,000 then 10% (£21,000) is payable to the company plus costs. Likewise if the property was to be sold or transferred for £200,000 then 10% (£20,000) is payable to the company plus costs.
BloorHomesStart 2 is not available with any other offers and is only available on selected plots on selected developments.
"The Property is 100% yours, this is not shared ownership"
Terms and conditions are available on request and any other loan arrangement must be made through Bloor Homes recommended Independent Financial Advisor.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other loan secured on it.
* Subject to particular developments and applicants status.
** Offer available on selected plots - subject to applicant's status. A nominal reservation fee on exchange of contracts may be levied
105% Part Exchange
Working together to get you moving
Having a full appreciation of the difficulties of buying a new home, our 105% Part Exchange scheme makes it easier than ever to make the move to the Bloor home of your choice.
Having a full appreciation of the difficulties of buying a new home, our part exchange scheme makes it easier than ever for you to make the move to the Bloor Home of your choice.
How It Works
The company will arrange three valuations of your property by local estate agents. The agents will be asked to provide a price for a six week sale.
If your property is currently on the market, your agent will not necessarily be one of the agents who is asked to prepare valuations unless you have signed a specific contract with that agent, in which case please let us know.
Based on the valuations received Bloor Homes will make you an offer for your home. For a limited period only this will represent 105% of the 'six week sale price'.
If our offer is accepted, you can reserve your new Bloor Home, subject to contract and survey.
In order to reserve your new Bloor Home a deposit of £750 is payable. This is non-refundable.
Once the results of the structural survey are received, we will inform you of any issues, and on the basis that it is satisfactory, you can proceed with your purchase - and leave the rest to us, giving you more time to concentrate on moving to your dream home.
You do not have to worry about purchasers changing their mind and wasted solicitors fees, or agreeing completion dates with a long house chain - it's just you and Bloor Homes working together to help you move on time.
The Bloor Homes Part exchange Scheme is subject to our purchasing criteria and may be withdrawn at any time..
Available on selected plots & for a limited period - Please ask for details.

Bloor Homes South West wins
top LABC Warranty Award at The Gateway
Bloor Homes South West have won the LABC Regional Warranty Award for Excellence for the Best Social Housing Development at The Gateway, Snowberry Lane, in East Melksham, Wiltshire.
LABC Warranty's Awards for Excellence have been designed to recognise and reward the hard work of registered developers, builders and site managers who stand out from the crowd in delivering high quality construction and design.
The recognition associated by winning an LABC Warranty Award for Excellence positions developers and house builders at the forefront of building achievement..
To win this award category, building companies associated with the development must demonstrate a high standard in technical competency and build quality, coupled with an ability to demonstrate project management, organisational skills and customer service.
In recognition of our high standards of design, construction and workmanship at The Gateway, we were proud to have been pronounced overall Regional Winner of the category.
Commenting on the award, Michele Rose, Sales Director for Bloor Homes South West said, “No one understands better than Bloor South West, that to turn a house into a home, requires far more than bricks and mortar. It requires a commitment to make additional vital contributions to the communities we create and to the environment as a whole. Which is why we're delighted to have been declared overall winner in this highly competitive category this year. Maintaining the highest standards of building and design excellence is something to which we are fully committed and makes us first choice for new homes in the region”.
Top Recognition for Steve...
LABC Award for Site Manager!
It was for his excellent attention to detail in producing our award winning Social Housing in East Melksham that Site Manager, Steve Hudd, won a coveted LABC Warranty - Site Manager of the Year accolade this month.
The 'LABC Warranty Site Manager of the Year Awards' is a prestigious national competition which focuses on the contribution the site manager makes in producing high quality, new homes.
Only site managers who demonstrate exceptional standards in every aspect of their work on site and in the homes they build are be considered. Experience shows that success also greatly depends on gaining the full support of everyone involved in the build process, creating a culture on site where only the best is good enough.
This is not the first workplace award that Steve has received. Previously he has been awarded the NHBC’s Pride in the Job award on two separate occasions.
Following his success in East Melksham, Steve will very soon be moving to our forthcoming development at Weston Gateway, Weston-super-Mare where the emphasis is on quality mixed with style and value. His experience will be invaluable and he is aiming for a repeat performance.
