New showhome to inspire first time buyers in Bonnyrigg
Taylor Wimpey has just revealed a two bedroom Andrew showhome at its Hopefield Grange development in Bonnyrigg that offers more than a regal step onto the ladder for first-time visitors with its cool Britainnia red, white and blue styling throughout.
The light, bright and spacious interior maximises every inch of space that’s available in this contemporary two bedroom showhome, and it really packs a punch with its bold use of interior design to appeal to young first-time buyers considering their first step onto the property ladder. And to make the move even easier buyers can currently snap a new home for just 85% of the purchase price through Taylor Wimpey’s Shared Equity scheme (Easystart), and it’s available on selected plots at Hopefield Grange for a limited period only.
Shared Equity offers buyers the chance to secure their new dream home for only 85% of the purchase price. Homeowners have 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.
Karen Armstrong, regional sales and marketing director, 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. We have already helped hundreds to get on to the property ladder, and the availability of this scheme at Hopefield Grange offers an excellent opportunity to get buyers on the move sooner than they thought.
“There’s no need to continue paying someone else’s mortgage or living with your parents when you could snap up a brand new home of your own for less using our Easystart shared equity scheme. This fantastic initiative offers a genuine step-up for those wanting to get onto the property ladder and is ideal for anyone struggling to save a large deposit.”
Hopefield Grange is situated just 11 miles from the centre of Edinburgh on the outskirts of the bustling commuter town of Bonnyrigg.
