Get 'Help To Buy' a new home at Slepe Meadow - with a 5% deposit
Property-seekers in Cambridgeshire are being offered a superb opportunity to snap up a wonderfully spacious family-size home for less with Taylor Wimpey.
The Government’s new Help to Buy equity loan scheme is now available at the leading housebuilder’s fast-selling Slepe Meadow development in St Ives, enabling homebuyers to take their pick from a choice of stunning new homes for just 80% of their full price – including a 5% deposit.
There’s currently a superb selection of generously-proportioned four-bedroom homes available to purchase with Help to Buy at Slepe Meadow, including the impressive ‘Fairfield’ link-detached property, priced from £349,950.
Under Help to Buy, this exceptional family home can be secured for an 80% price of as little as £279,960, including a 5% deposit of only £17,498. One ‘Fairfield’ plot is fully finished and ready to move into right now, while another is available for the purchaser to reserve off-plan and choose from a wide range of interior Options.
Christine Scarborough, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “The Help to Buy scheme will make a huge difference to a range of would-be homebuyers who can afford the monthly mortgage repayments on a new property, but not the hefty deposit.
“Our high-quality homes at Slepe Meadow are already incredibly popular and we’re expecting interest in the development to move to another level following the launch of Help to Buy. Anyone hoping to join the many satisfied customers at this sought-after development should contact us without delay!”
Under Help to Buy, the Government provides eligible purchasers with a 20% loan to help them secure new-build homes priced up to £600,000. The initiative is available to both first-time buyers and existing homeowners, and there is no salary cap for customers taking advantage of the scheme.
The four-bedroom ‘Fairfield’ is ideal for growing families in search of extra space, and features a large lounge and a kitchen/dining room, both opening through French doors to the private rear garden, with a family room, a utility room and a guest cloakroom completing the ground-floor layout.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two en-suite double bedrooms and a study, while two further bedrooms and a bathroom can be found on the top floor. A garage and allocated parking are located outside.
Alternative four-bedroom designs are available from only £299,950 at Slepe Meadow, with five-bedroom properties from £374,950.
The Government-backed NewBuy scheme is also available at the development, offering credit-worthy purchasers the opportunity to secure their ideal home with a 95% mortgage and a 5% deposit.
Slepe Meadow is situated within easy reach of St Ives’ historic waterfront and town centre with its bustling market place, yet the new homes also enjoy a peaceful location bordered by open countryside.
For commuters, Slepe Meadow offers quick and easy access to the A1123 for Huntingdon, a mere four miles away. The development also benefits from being on the Busway route from Huntingdon to Cambridge Science Park, Cambridge city centre and Addenbrooke’s Hospital, with stops for the Busway conveniently located at the entrance to the development.
Huntingdon railway station is just five miles from Slepe Meadow for direct routes to Kings Cross and Peterborough, while Cambridge is only 16 miles away via the A14, which also connects to the A1 and M11 motorway, and, a little further afield, the M1 and M6.
