A Pembrokeshire couple have purchased their first home together at Lovell Homes’ new Augustus Grange development in Haverfordwest, after previously living with their parents.
Flavia Jenkins, 22, and Tom Meredith, 25, made the move into a three-bedroom Lambourne style home earlier this year, after deciding it was time to leave the nest.
Flavia, who works as a teaching assistant, said: “We both lived with our parents prior to buying this home and were keen to take the plunge and buy our first home together, so we set a target for each month and year that we wanted to save to make sure we could achieve our goal.”
Rugby Development Officer, Tom, added: “We chose a new build as we wanted a blank canvas that we could make our own and put our own stamp on, and bought with Lovell Homes as we felt they were a quality company that took pride in what they do.
“Augustus Grange stood out to us as we were impressed by the quality finish of the homes and how spacious not just the house, but the development is.”
The couple purchased their home using the Help to Buy Wales scheme, which was due to end in March 2025 but was recently extended to September 2026, allowing more people to step onto or up the property ladder with the scheme’s assistance.
Help to Buy Wales is available on homes up to £300,000 and enables buyers to purchase a new build property with just a five per cent deposit. The remainder is made up from a 75 per cent mortgage and a 20 per cent equity loan, which is interest free for the first five years*.
The Lovell team provided assistance throughout all stages of the buying process, helping to make Flavia and Tom’s journey of purchasing their very first home less daunting.
Flavia commented: “The process went as smoothly as it could. Our sales executive, Adrienne was really good and communicated well with us, and we would definitely recommend Lovell Homes to family and friends.”
Flavia and Tom are now enjoying settling into their new lives as joint homeowners.
Tom said: “We chose the Lambourne style home as it is spacious and has a lovely garden. We really like the layout of the house, as it is a good size that suits what we wanted. The local area is ideal too, and it definitely feels like we are in an up-and-coming area.
“We’re incredibly happy with our choice and love coming home and being in our own space.”
