New homes in Dovercourt offer stamp duty savings

There’s still time for one fast-acting first-time buyer to secure a spacious three-bedroom house without paying stamp duty at Peninsula, Taylor Wimpey’s popular development of new homes for sale in Dovercourt, Essex.

Essex property-seekers have one final chance to make big savings under the stamp duty holiday with the wonderful ‘Weston’ house at Taylor Wimpey’s Peninsula development of property for sale in Dovercourt, Harwich.

Stamp duty is currently suspended for first-time buyers purchasing new homes priced below £250,000 at the Taylor Wimpey Essex development, but from Saturday 24th March the one per cent tax is being re-introduced on all properties priced between £125,000 and £250,000.

Savvy buyers are being urged to act immediately if they want to beat the fast-approaching deadline and make a superb saving of up to £1,399 on a three-bedroom ‘Weston’ semi-detached property in Dovercourt at Peninsula – which is ready to move into right now.

Stacy Dornan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “The stamp duty holiday is almost over – but there’s still time for would-be buyers in search of houses for sale in Dovercourt to take advantage of this exceptional incentive at Peninsula.

“Because the wonderful ‘Weston’ is ready for its lucky purchaser to move into now at this sought-after Taylor Wimpey Dovercourt development, it’s still possible for the buyer to complete their move before 24th March – and a £7,000 deposit may be all they need to have in the bank.”

The stunning three-bedroom ‘Weston’ property to buy in Dovercourt is open to view now and available to qualifying first-time buyers under the Government-backed FirstBuy scheme for just 80% of its £139,995 full price – that’s only £111,996, including a 5% deposit of £7,000.

FirstBuy works through a joint loan of 20% from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Taylor Wimpey, which means that eligible purchasers only need put down a 5% deposit and obtain a 75% 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 their total household earnings should be less than £60,000.

The semi-detached ‘Weston’ features a spacious open-plan living/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a contemporary fitted kitchen and a handy guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to the en-suite master bedroom, two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a main bathroom, while outside the property benefits from two allocated parking spaces.

Alternatively, two-bedroom apartments are available at Peninsula from as little as £99,995, two-bedroom houses from only £127,995 and magnificent four-bedroom homes from just £159,000, with selected plots available under FirstBuy.

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

Peninsula offers homebuyers an enviable lifestyle close to Blue Flag beaches, a wealth of restaurants, bars and cafes, a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market plus a great choice of shops including an Asda supermarket on the doorstep.

In addition to windsurfing and a wide range of watersports, Dovercourt Leisure Centre in Low Road offers a swimming pool and solarium, fitness suite and floodlit pitch, while facilities for football, rugby, cricket and tennis are also local.

For those who enjoy walking, trails provide the chance to explore the nearby woodlands and meadows, while the country lanes and shoreline also make for perfect cycling, and the National Cycle Network runs from Harwich to Manningtree.

Commuters will appreciate that Dovercourt Railway Station is only half a mile from home, with regular services to Colchester in 30 minutes, Chelmsford in 60 minutes, and London Liverpool Street in 90 minutes. Road links are also excellent, with the A120 to Colchester close by, and Stansted Airport only 50 miles away.
