PROPERTY FEATURE "It makes business sense for us to support the next generation of home owners, after all they are also our future customers," said Andrew Wainwright, sales director for Barratt Home, Southampton. "But as a father I also know how keen I am for my children to get onto the property ladder and realise how increasingly difficult it is for young people to do so. Obviously as a business we have to make profitable decisions but it is great when something like our first time buyer deals not only make business sense but also genuinely help people," Andrew concludes.
