BOVIS Homes is reminding potential buyers that it has a range of new homes across the county that may prove tempting.

Robert Pearce, Bovis Homes' sales director, said: "The new year is a great time to make a fresh start and move into a brand new home. We currently have homes available in Ashford and on the Isle of Sheppey and we have a couple of new developments, which we hope to open later in the year."

He added: "Our new homes have plenty of character and are well designed for modern living. They all have en-suite showering facilities with mains-pressure showers and the kitchens are fitted with a range of integrated appliances, which are all included within the purchase price.

"With low competitive mortgages rates, affordability today is approximately 39 per cent greater than the average over the past 20 years.

Increases in new home prices have for the past few years lagged behind the secondhand market. Increases in Bovis Homes' average selling price per square foot have been well below the averages recorded for the second hand market."
