Bellway is offering homebuyers in Somerset a deposit contribution of up to £25,000 when they purchase one of their new properties.

The incentive, which runs until October 31, will provide up to five per cent of the purchase price to boost buyers' deposits.

It is available on selected plots at Lavender Rise in Axbridge and Peregrine View in Cheddar.

Tim Lund, sales director for Bellway South West, said: "This is an incredible offer which is specifically designed to help prospective homebuyers buy the energy-efficient new-build home they have dreamed of but without having to save for years for a large deposit.

"This can make the crucial difference and bring a new home within the budget of more and more people."

First-time buyers Sebastian and Joanna Adamczyk benefited from a similar offer to buy an apartment at Bellway's Copperhouse Green development in Dartford.

The couple bought the apartment with a £13,673 contribution from Bellway, which added to their own £19,995 savings and gave them a 10 per cent deposit.

They said: "It all worked out that with the deposit contribution from Bellway we were able to afford to buy the apartment."
