Are you a first time buyer looking to get your foot on the property ladder but don’t know where to start? Then why not head down to Taylor Wimpey North West’s Cunningham Grange development in St Helens where a stunning new selection of apartments are now available with Government backed schemes.

The collection of one and two bedroom apartments are the perfect choice for first time buyers looking to purchase their own home in St Helens. Prices start from £74,995 for a one bedroom Kennet apartment.

Following a rise in the cuckoo generation, where 23 per cent of people have left home but leave their possessions behind at their parents’ home, it will come as well news to house hunters that the contemporary apartments offer ample space for all your belongings.

The Kennet apartment is an ideal first home. It benefits from a modern bathroom, a living room which leads to the kitchen and a master bedroom. The property comes complete with a useful storage cupboard and parking.

Lynne Vogel, regional sales manager for Taylor Wimpey North West, said: “We have received a lot of interest in our apartments at Cunningham Grange, especially from first time buyers eager to take advantage of our schemes, especially the recently announced Help to Buy scheme. We don’t expect these apartments to stay on the market for long so I encourage anyone interested in buying their first home this year to visit the development today to avoid disappointment.

“We understand that buying your first property can sometimes be daunting, however our experienced sales team are on hand to answer any questions and help you every step of the way.”

The proposed Help To Buy measures include an equity loan scheme which will be available on new build properties up to the value of £600,000. There is no salary cap for purchasers using the equity loan scheme, and it is available to both first time buyers and existing home owners alike. Eligible purchasers will receive a Government loan of 20%, which means that they only need to put down a 5% deposit and obtain a 75% loan-to-value mortgage.

The existing Government backed NewBuy scheme is still available on homes up to £500,000. With NewBuy, credit-worthy first time buyers only need to save a 5% deposit before they can get on the property ladder; whilst existing homeowners can also benefit from the increase in availability of 95% loan to value mortgages.

Cunningham Grange is close to a wide range of local amenities for day-to-day living, both in the immediate area and nearby Eccleston. There’s also an excellent range of restaurants, pubs and bars locally. In addition, there are fantastic educational facilities for all ages, including several primary and secondary schools along with sixth form colleges.
