HOME buyers in Newton Heath, Manchester, can expect a ‘smart’ service from Hilary McGivern at McInerney’s new home development, Zest. Hilary has just completed her National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Level 3 in ‘sale of residential property’ and is primed and ready to offer Newton Heath’s house hunters a super service.

She says: “It’s been extremely hard work but well worth it in the long run. NVQs are a very good qualification to have and it has really helped my confidence and personal development.

“It’s a huge benefit to our Manchester customers too because they’re assured that we’re providing the best service possible. I can guide them confidently through the sale processes and ensure a new home in Newton Heath is affordable through part exchange, our Swift Move or 75-25% equity scheme.”

The shared equity scheme is not shared ownership, which means you own 100% of your new home while McInerney loans you 25% of its value for 10 years and you pay no interest or rent in that period. Basically it’s a free loan for 10 years with no catch.

If Hilary can complete her NVQ in 10 months instead of the average 12 months, then she can certainly explain how the 75-25% scheme can work for home buyers and save them money. Prices start from £99,995 for an apartment and £141,000 for a family home.

An NVQ is a way for people who are already skilled in their job to secure qualifications, develop their career and gain confidence in what they do. It’s also a huge boost to self-esteem to be accredited and gain a recognised qualification in the work they do on a day-to-day basis.

Tracey Lowe, sales manager for McInerney Homes North West, says: “I’m so proud of Hilary and all of our sales executives who have completed this qualification. The recognition is well deserved. Our clients can expect the best service in the new home industry and we’ll make any move go as smoothly as possible.”
