Developer Barratt is lending its support to this year's Eastbourne Airshow by donating £8,000 towards the event, as well as giving away a selection of prizes.

The house builder will also be holding a first-time buyer day at its new H20 apartment development just a few minutes away from the show, where househunters can visit to learn more about how they can find an affordable home.

As well as viewing the apartments, there will be the chance to speak to Barratt's sales team about shared equity schemes such as HomeBuy Direct, as well as an independent financial advisor to assist with mortgage queries.

Potential buyers will also be entered into a free prize draw to have a chance of winning a helicopter ride for two at Airborne.

"The homes will appeal to young professionals wanting the convenience of a modern layout, downsizers relishing the seaside environment or second-home purchasers who want the comfort of a ‘lock up and leave’ apartment," commented Lynnette St Quintin, sales director at Barratt Southern Counties.

HomeBuy Direct makes buying a home more affordable by giving the purchaser the chance to pay just 70 per cent of the asking price at the outset.
