Homebuyers interested in a new development near Gloucester have the chance to speak to a range of experts for free advice all under one roof.

Gloucester-based mortgage brokers The Mortgage Brain and solicitors Lane & Co in Cheltenham, will be on hand at a drop-in event this week to offer advice on buying at Barratt Homes' popular new development Winnycroft.

The event takes place at the sales office on Winnycroft Lane on Thursday 9th February from 4pm -7pm where experts will offer valuable tips on calculating affordability, current mortgage rates and the best deals on the market.

Sales advisers will also be available to advise buyers on tailor-made incentive packages such as part-exchange, help towards deposits and deals for key workers.

The first phase of homes are now released at the development which includes 420 much-needed new two, three and four-bedroom homes on the site that occupies almost 50-acres at Matson on the outskirts of Gloucester.

This includes two sports pitches and changing facilities, public open space, allotments and two play areas with 400 new trees, thousands of new shrubs and a community orchard.

Hedgehog highways will provide routes through gardens and access to natural habitats and roosting features for birds and bats will be incorporated into existing trees, hedgerows and new homes.
