After visiting a number of other new build developers in their area, the couple were pleasantly surprised to find out how affordable it was to own a 3 bedroom detached home with Gleeson, and after speaking to our recommended new build mortgage specialists, Meridian Mortgages, they were delighted to find that they would pay just £400 per month for their mortgage.

    Leah - Escaping the rent trap and enjoying a modern home

    Click here to read more

    Before buying her stunning stone built 2 bedroom semi-detached Mayfield, single buyer Leah was renting an out-of-date, 3 bedroom detached house for £650 per month. Despite the house being bigger than her Gleeson home, it did not have any of the modern conveniences of a new build home. Leah’s rented house didn’t have gas central heating, meaning she used a coal fire and a back burner, and electric radiators to heat her home. This old fashioned electrical system was also used to heat the water in the house, so Leah’s electricity bills were extortionate. In addition to this, Leah’s rented house did not have any mains plumbing, and was attached to a private septic system which added to her annual maintenance costs as she regularly had to get it emptied and repaired.

The couple are originally from Belfast and were always unsure as to whether or not they would stay in England permanently so decided renting was the best thing to do at the time, but when Dorrena became pregnant with their son Rossa it spurred them on to look more seriously for an owned home and settle in Cumbria for good.
