FirstBuy available with new homes in Lincolnshire
Taylor Wimpey is offering aspiring first-time buyers a leg up on to the property ladder at its sought-after Oak Springs development of new homes for sale in Bourne, Lincolnshire.
The leading house builder has teamed up with the Government’s Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), to offer qualifying purchasers the opportunity to secure selected new two-bedroom starter homes in Bourne through the FirstBuy initiative for just 80% of their full purchase price – including a deposit as low as 5%, subject to status.
Janet Robinson, Regional Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Great-value starter properties in Bourne are always in high demand, and our Oak Springs homes are proving to be no exception.
“With FirstBuy available with a strictly limited number of our new houses for sale in Bourne, this is an amazing opportunity for aspiring homeowners to step on to the property ladder, and I would urge anyone interested in finding out more to contact us without delay – before it’s too late!”
The spacious two-bedroom Plot 79 ‘Penarth’ terraced house is just one of the high-quality houses in Bourne available under FirstBuy, and can be accessed by qualifying purchasers for 80% of its £119,995 purchase price – that’s just £95,996 – including a deposit of only £6,000.
Plus, with a mortgage of just £89,996, purchasers could pay as little as £477.93 a month in repayments.
Under FirstBuy, Taylor Wimpey and the HCA boosts the purchaser’s deposit 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 for FirstBuy, customers must be first-time buyers with a household income below £60,000.
Ideal for individuals or couples in search of a first home, the ‘Penarth’ features a spacious lounge/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a contemporary kitchen and a cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the landing leads to two generously-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom, while outside the property benefits from allocated parking.
All new homes at Oak Springs are completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
With an idyllic setting on the edge of open countryside, yet just a mile from the centre of the pretty Lincolnshire market town of Bourne, Oak Springs offers a unique opportunity for home-hunters to combine the very best of town and country life.
Located on the edge of the fens, Bourne is steeped in history with no less than 71 listed buildings occupying the parish, including Bourne Abbey and Baldock’s Mill, a former water mill which now houses the town’s heritage centre.
The town also boasts a range of high street and independent shops and supermarkets, while those seeking entertainment can choose from a number of bars, restaurants and traditional pubs.
For days out, nearby Grimsthorpe Castle country house nestles in 3,000 acres of rolling pastures, lakes and woodland landscaped by ‘England’s greatest gardener’, Capability Brown, while Bourne is also within easy reach of three nature reserves.
What’s more, Bourne is well placed for the neighbouring towns of Spalding and Stamford, both of which are 13 miles away by road, while the A1 is just 14 miles from home and Peterborough’s superb shopping, leisure and entertainment facilities are also nearby. The seaside is also within easy reach of Oak Springs, as the east coast is a mere 30 miles from home.
Education provision in the town is excellent with schools for children of all ages, including the well-regarded Bourne Grammar School, which ranks among the best in the East Midlands for A-level results; and Robert Manning College, a high-performing comprehensive specialising in technology and vocational education for 11 to 18-year-olds.
