Fast-moving first-time buyers can get help to step on the property ladder with the Government-backed FirstBuy scheme at The Pinnacle, Taylor Wimpey’s development of new homes for sale in Stoke-on-Trent.

This fantastic initiative lets qualifying purchasers secure selected new properties in Stoke-on-Trent at The Pinnacle now for just 80% of their full purchase price – including a deposit as low as 5%, subject to status.

Under the FirstBuy scheme, for example, one lucky purchaser could access the stylish two-bedroom ‘Clee’ coach house apartment for just 80% of its £119,995 purchase price – that’s just £95,996, including a deposit of as little as £6,000!

Alternatively, the spacious three-bedroom ‘Harvington’ townhouse, priced at just £144,995, can be secured for just £115,996 under FirstBuy, including a deposit of just £7,250.

Carl Cooke, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “FirstBuy offers first-time buyers a unique opportunity to leave renting behind and step on to the property ladder in style by securing one of our houses and apartments for sale in Stoke-on-Trent at The Pinnacle.

“With a choice of gorgeous coach house apartments or stunning three-storey houses available under this scheme at our sought-after development of new build homes in Stoke-on-Trent, purchasers can select the property-type which perfectly suits their needs.

“However, we have already experienced considerable interest in this fantastic initiative and availability is strictly limited, so I would stress to anyone interested in taking advantage of the offer that they must be quick to avoid missing out.”

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 ‘Clee’ coach house is an ideal first home for individuals or couples, and features a wonderful open-plan living/dining room with fitted kitchen, plus two well-proportioned bedrooms and a main bathroom, while outside, the property benefits from two allocated parking spaces.

Meanwhile, the ‘Harvington’ townhouse is the perfect choice for a growing family, characterised by a spacious living/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a fitted kitchen and handy guest cloakroom located off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two bedrooms and a main bathroom, while the en-suite master bedroom enjoys appealing seclusion on the top floor. There’s also a garage and additional parking outside.

Commanding an excellent location within easy reach of the Peak District, The Pinnacle development of properties to buy in Stoke-on-Trent boasts stunning views and is ideal for anyone who loves the great outdoors.

Closer still, there’s a choice of shops selling everyday items within walking distance of the development, while the area boasts seven primary schools within one mile of the homes, as well as two secondary schools. The highly regarded Keele University is under 10 miles away, while Alton Towers, Festival Park and Trentham Gardens are nearby, offering plenty of opportunities for family days out.

Commuters will appreciate that the development is a 10-minute drive from the M6, and that Greater Manchester, the Midlands and North Wales are all within easy reach.

To secure the ‘Clee’ or ‘Harvington’ homes with FirstBuy at The Pinnacle, first-time buyers should visit the Sales Centre, located off Chillington Way, Stoke-on-Trent, and open Thursday to Monday from 11am to 5pm. Alternatively, visit taylorwimpey.co.uk.
