Rising house prices and shared equity schemes like HomeBuy Direct are helping to restore confidence to the beleaguered housing market, according to housebuilder Charles Church Southern.

Tracey Lee, sales director for the developer, said shared equity schemes are ideal for first-time buyers with a relatively low household income as it enables them to find an affordable home with ease.

"Likewise, part exchange and a host of alternative incentives such as stamp duty paid on selected plots, are allowing our purchasers to buy comfortably and without financial worry," she added.

Charles Church Southern has a range of properties in the south designed to cater for a wide range of househunters, Ms Lee continued, from first-time buyers without a deposit all the way to large families looking for a spacious home to settle down.

The housebuilder, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2005, also offers a fully integrated interior and exterior design solution for buyers on selected plots.
