Taylor Wimpey hosts FirstBuy event in Blackley

First time buyers keen to get a foot on the property ladder in 2013 can learn how they could own their own two bedroom home from £265 a month at a FirstBuy event at Taylor Wimpey North West’s Millers Brow development in Blackley.

Organised by the leading home builder, the event on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th November will enable first time buyers to obtain free expert advice and find out all they need to know about their deposit and mortgage arrangements.

Furthermore, house hunters will be able to reserve their dream new home for just £99 and move in 2013, leaving them more time and money to put towards their five per cent FirstBuy deposit.

Lynne Vogel, regional sales manager for Taylor Wimpey North West, said: “FirstBuy is a great initiative which supports first time buyers who could not otherwise afford to buy because of the large deposits now required by mortgage lenders.

“We have got a range of homes available at Millers Brow, perfectly suited to first time buyers. So if you are thinking about taking the plunge, come and speak to our experienced sales executives and see what you could afford.”

FirstBuy works through a joint loan of 20 per cent from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Taylor Wimpey, which means that eligible purchasers only need put down a 5 per cent deposit and obtain a 75 per cent loan-to-value mortgage. The loan is repayable at the end of the 25 year mortgage term or when the property is sold. To be eligible, purchasers must be first time buyers and the total household earning should be less than £60,000.

Lynne added: “FirstBuy enables us to work closely with the Government to help more people in the region buy their first home. We’d encourage people to come to the event at Millers Brow to find out how they could move into in their dream new home in 2013.”

Currently available at the development is an attractive range of two bedroom apartments, including the last remaining ground floor apartment. Priced from £84,950, you would only need a deposit of just £4,248 using FirstBuy. This stunning home comes with parking and comprises an open plan lounge/kitchen/diner, master bedroom with en-suite, a second bedroom and bathroom, and is ready to move into as it comes with carpets and appliances.
