It’s now even easier for first-time buyers to secure new build homes in Bromley at Taylor Wimpey’s Iconia, thanks to the Government’s FirstBuy scheme.

First-time buyers now have a fantastic opportunity to purchase one of Taylor Wimpey’s properties for sale in Bromley with the Government-backed FirstBuy scheme, available with selected homes at Iconia.

Smart movers looking for new homes in East London have been wasting no time choosing from this stylish development’s superb selection.

With a limited number of new build apartments in Bromley available with Taylor Wimpey under the FirstBuy incentive, customers are being urged to visit Iconia as soon as possible to avoid missing out on their dream home.

A first-time buyer with a household income of less than £60,000 can secure selected new homes in Bromley from the leading housebuilder’s stylish Iconia development with just a 75% mortgage and a 5% deposit, thanks to a joint loan from Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency for 80% which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage or when the property is sold.

For example, the fabulous Plot 93 apartment, priced £169,995, can be purchased with a 75% mortgage of just £127,496 and a 5% deposit of only £8,500, subject to status.

Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “With the majority of mortgage lenders demanding deposits of 20% or higher from first-time buyers, it can be a struggle for would-be purchasers to raise the money required to secure their first home.

“But with FirstBuy, property ownership is within reach for so many first-time purchasers who would otherwise have been forced to save for years and years to gather a big deposit.

“FirstBuy at Iconia is proving to be hugely popular, and due to its strictly limited availability I would urge interested first-time buyers to get in touch with us as soon as possible to avoid missing out!”

Each new Iconia apartment benefits from a spacious lounge/dining room with open-plan kitchen, generously proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom off the private entrance hallway, while selected plots have allocated parking outside.

Many of the apartments include private balconies to living areas and two-bedroom designs, priced from only £234,995, boast en-suite bathrooms to master bedrooms.

All new homes at the development are completed to a high standard specification to include central heating, double glazing, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and spotlights, plus spotlights and half-height tiling to en-suites and bathrooms.

Iconia lies within walking distance of the many shops, restaurants and leisure facilities of Bromley town centre, and is less than 16 miles from the centre of London.

Bromley South railway station, just a short walk from the development, operates frequent services to London Victoria station in about 16 minutes, while the development is perfectly situated for a number of universities, including the University of Greenwich and Goldsmiths University of London.

For international travellers, Iconia is only 25 miles from Gatwick Airport and 28 miles from Heathrow, both of which can be reached from the development by road or rail.

The development is also close to some of England’s most beautiful countryside, with rural Kent, Sussex and the South Downs just a short journey away.

To find out more about FirstBuy at Iconia, customers can visit the Sales and Marketing Suite and showhome, located at Homesdale Road, Bromley, BR2 9HT, and open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5.30pm. Alternatively, visit taylorwimpey.co.uk.
