New Homes for sale in Colburn by Mulberry Homes
Developer Mulberry Homes Yorkshire has signed an exclusive deal with a North Yorkshire-based estate agent to market its latest development.
The company has selected Carver Residential to help sell homes at its 32-home scheme in Colburn, near Catterick.
Work on the development, known as Beckfield, began in November 2016 with completion set for September this year.
Mulberry, in partnership with Swale Valley Construction, is building a range of two, three and four-bedroom properties for sale and rent. These will include affordable homes designed to get people on the property ladder.
Andrew Garrens, from Mulberry Homes Yorkshire, said: “We are delighted to have signed a deal with Carver Residential to market our new homes at Beckfield.
“We were keen to enter into partnership with a local estate agent and Carver Residential is well known and respected throughout North Yorkshire.
“Interest in the scheme is already high, with several plots already reserved, and we expect demand to increase further with Carver Residential now marketing the properties on our behalf.”
James Carver, of Carver Residential, said: “As a family-run company with branches in Richmond, Northallerton, Darlington, Yarm and Newton Aycliffe, we are committed to helping people find and buy high quality, affordable homes in North Yorkshire.
“The homes being built by Mulberry in Colburn certainly meet this criteria and we are looking forward to working with the company to market the properties and to help people onto the property ladder.”
The homes are being marketed from the Carver Residential branch in Richmond market place. For further information telephone: 01748 825 317 or email richmond@carvergroup.co.uk

How to get a mortgage if you're single
If you’re buying a home on one salary, either as a one income family or as a single applicant you may think your options are limited. Whilst you may need to work harder to get the finances you need in place, with planning preparations you’ll put yourself in the best possible position to get into your new home.
Follow our top tips for buying your own home, if you’re single or buying with one income:
Save, save, save
Saving for your first home can seem like an endless and thankless task, especially if you’re buying on your own, but stick with it as it will pay dividends in the end.
The bigger deposit you have, the more attractive your business will be to lenders. The more equity you have, the lower risk you represent. A larger deposit also means you will have a lower LTV (loan to value), which in turn will give you access to a wider variety of mortgage deals.
Be realistic about your borrowing
We can all get carried away when it comes to buying consumer goods, but when it comes to buying a property it really is important to make sure you consider your limit and stick to it.
Look at your budget, and consider how much you can comfortably pay each month without forgoing your other necessary expenses.
A lender will advise you regarding the maximum amount you can afford to borrow, it doesn’t mean you actually need to borrow that much. Give yourself some flexibility, and be realistic about what you can comfortably afford on your own.
Do your homework
Taking advice will almost certainly be helpful unless you are very experienced in financial matters in general, and mortgages in particular. However, it’s worth spending some time doing your research to get a basic understanding of the mortgage process and the types of mortgages that are available.
Clear other debt
A lender will establish your affordability based on a number of factors including your committed monthly expenditure. If you can reduce this amount by clearing unnecessary debt such as an outstanding credit card balance, you'll improve your eligibility.
Protect yourself
As you're buying a home with one income, it's very important to make sure you have income protection in place to ensure that should something happen to you or your job, you can continue to make your repayments.
Use a mortgage broker
Regardless of whether you're single or not, speaking to a mortgage broker means that you have access to expert advice for mortgages as well as any related life insurance, payment protection and even buildings and contents insurance you may need.
