Taylor Wimpey offers a helping hand for buyers in Kilmarnock

Whether you’re a first time buyer and desperate to get on the property ladder, or a homeowner looking for your next move, Taylor Wimpey West Scotland is offering buyers a choice of incentives to get them on the move this Spring to its Dunsmuir Park development in Kilmarnock.

Dunsmuir Park, located just off John Walker Drive, offers an impressive new development of 49 two, three and four bedroom family homes from Taylor Wimpey’s new ‘Scotland’ range. With a choice of eight house styles, this development offers an impressive range of new homes to suit a wide range of buyers wherever you are on the property ladder, and prices start from £115,000 (£92,000 with shared equity).

Buyers can choose from Taylor Wimpey’s Shared Equity or Part-Exchange scheme depending on which incentive best suits their circumstances. And to snap up the development’s star buy plot – a two bedroom Andrew with either incentive - buyers need a deposit of just £5,750 to take that first step to their next move.

For first-time buyers who are perhaps renting and have just begun their search to buy a new home, Taylor Wimpey’s Shared Equity scheme means you could buy a home for just 85% of the purchase price, and be on the move much sooner that you’d thought.

Using Taylor Wimpey’s Shared Equity scheme gives homeowners the reassurance that they own 100% of their property from day one but as they’ll already have paid a 5% deposit, they only need to find a mortgage on 80% of the value. The other 15% is provided rent and interest free by Taylor Wimpey for up to ten years, at which point purchasers repay 15% of their home’s current market value. The scheme is flexible, allowing purchasers to repay the outstanding amount early or even make smaller one-off payments up to three times during the ten year period.

Alternatively, part-exchanging an existing property for a brand new home gives buyers the opportunity to consider moving to a new home without any of the stress and uncertainty that’s normally associated with house buying. With part exchange advice, appointments with Independent Financial Advisors on request and free valuations, Taylor Wimpey’s Part Exchange scheme means buyers really have nothing to worry about.

Part exchange is a great way to make moving to a new home not only faster, but stress-free. Under the scheme, Taylor Wimpey will buy your current home at an agreed price so there are no estate agents fees to pay and no hassle.

Audrey Ross, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, comments: “We recognise that buying a home can be a financially daunting prospect for many and we want to ensure that first time buyers know all the facts before they make a decision. Homeowners with property to sell find our part-exchange scheme a simple and stress-free way to make their move.

“The availability of both our Shared Equity and Part Exchange schemes on selected plots at Dunsmuir Park offers an excellent opportunity for buyers to consider buying a new home perhaps sooner than they’d imagined.”
