With less than 100 days left before Christmas what is topping your list to Santa this year?  For many 1000’s of people in the UK, the most desirable thing is their own home and to have a place to call their own.

The Government’s Help To Buy scheme has been a roaring success in helping first-time buyers achieve this goal.  Indeed, more than four out of five of the 170,000 homes purchased through the scheme in the five years to March 2018, were bought by first-time buyers according to a new Home Builders Federation report released this month [\[i\]](#_edn1).

Emma Hawkins, Sales Manager for Bellway comments: “Christmas is a wonderful time to be in a new home – it’s so exciting to be opening presents for the first time in your living room with your first ever Christmas tree; the drama of cooking an oversized [turkey in the new oven and leaving](https://www.financedigest.com/turkey-says-five-more-grain-ships-leave-ukrainian-ports.html "Turkey says five more grain ships leave Ukrainian ports") mince pies and carrots out for Father Christmas and his reindeer.

“We [don’t have a magic wand to make everyone’s Christmas dream come](https://www.financedigest.com/implementing-sustainable-technology-practices-that-dont-come-at-a-cost.html "Implementing sustainable technology practices that don’t come at a cost") true but we do our very best to assist where we can.  At Forest View in Colchester, we have a selection of the homes key ready and are offering some [early Christmas cheer with up to £10,000 savings](https://www.financedigest.com/five-reasons-to-start-saving-early-for-higher-education.html "Five Reasons to Start Saving Early for Higher Education") on selected new homes, to help buyers be in their home by Christmas.
