Secure new property in Andover with a 5% deposit

The FirstBuy scheme allows first-time buyers to purchase their new home now for 80% of its full price – and it’s available at The Romans at Augusta Park, Taylor Wimpey’s sought-after development of property for sale in Andover, Hampshire.

First-time buyers can secure their pick from a strictly limited selection of properties with just a 5% deposit at Taylor Wimpey’s The Romans at Augusta Park development of new homes for sale in Andover.

The Government-backed FirstBuy initiative offers qualifying purchasers the opportunity to access selected new homes at the Taylor Wimpey Andover development for as little as 80% of their full purchase price, including a 5% deposit from as low as £9,250, subject to status.

And with savings of up to £2,149 also available to first-time buyers completing the purchase of new build homes in Andover before the stamp duty holiday ends on Saturday 24th March, this is the ideal time to step on the Hampshire property ladder.

Tim Betts, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “FirstBuy offers a unique opportunity for would-be movers in search of apartments or houses for sale in Andover to leave renting behind and move in to home-ownership for the first time.

“And with the stamp duty holiday offering great savings for a limited period to first-time buyers choosing properties to buy in Andover priced under £250,000 at the development, property-seekers will have to hurry to take advantage of these superb offers.”

Under FirstBuy, Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) boost the purchaser’s down-payment with a joint loan of 20%, which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold. To be eligible, customers must be first-time buyers with a household income below £60,000.

For example, the stunning two-bedroom ‘Benwell’ coach house-style apartment at The Romans at Augusta Park, priced £160,000, is available to qualifying purchasers with an 80% FirstBuy price from just £128,000 – including a 5% deposit of only £8,000!

This impressive property features a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, an en-suite master bedroom, a further well-proportioned bedroom and a main bathroom, while the property also benefits from a garage.

Alternatively, three-bedroom semi-detached properties, priced from £185,000, can be accessed with FirstBuy from £148,000, while magnificent four-bedroom detached homes are priced from only £274,995 at the development.

All homes at The Romans at Augusta Park are completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

The development enjoys a prime position to the north of Andover town centre. A new primary school, community centre, sports hall and playing fields are to be constructed alongside the homes, as well as employment areas which may include new local shops and leisure amenities.

Currently, a range of shops, including a supermarket, is within easy reach of the development, a choice of primary schools can be found within half a mile, while a good selection of secondary and further education is located in Andover.

Andover town centre is just over a mile from The Romans at Augusta Park, and home to the Chantry Centre for shopping, a cinema and a theatre, a leisure centre with pool and classes and activities for adults and children, plus a choice of gyms.

Commuters will appreciate that Andover railway station is also just a short distance from the development and provides regular services to Salisbury, Basingstoke and London Waterloo, while the M3 and M4 are each within a 20-mile radius.
