Affordable housing boost for young, first-time buyers in Wickford, Basildon. Young couple, Danielle Krepka (24) and Steven Mullins (24) have bought their first home, a brand new two bedroom flat at Saffron Court.
Danielle, a youth support worker and Steven, who works for a freight holding company are both from Wickford and desperately wanted to buy their first home in the area, getting that all-important foot on the property ladder.
Danielle comments; “We started looking at buying a home privately earlier this year, but only viewed a couple of properties because we quickly found out we couldn’t afford to buy on the open market. It was really disappointing as we wanted to leave my parents' house and set up a home of our own."
