First-time buyers can take advantage of the FirstBuy scheme to purchase properties at Kings Acre, Taylor Wimpey’s popular development of new homes for sale in Clipstone, Nottinghamshire.

The Government-backed initiative offers qualifying purchasers the chance to secure selected properties for just 80% of their full price, including a 5% deposit – which means homebuyers will enjoy great-value mortgage repayments from the moment they move in to their new property in Clipstone.

Carolyne Watkinson, Regional Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey, says: “FirstBuy is available now with our new houses and apartments in Clipstone, it eliminates the need for a hefty deposit and means first-time buyers can start reaping the rewards of low mortgage rates much sooner than they may have thought possible.

“We have a superb selection of two, three, four and five-bedroom properties for sale in Clipstone that are available under the scheme, offering first-time buyers in a range of circumstances an easier way to secure their dream home at Kings Acre.

“And prospective purchasers who want to get a feel for the generous dimensions and the superb style of our new properties in Clipstone should visit us as soon as possible to take a tour of our wonderful ‘Shelford’ and ‘Crofton’ showhomes, which are open now!”

FirstBuy works through a joint loan of 20% from the Homes and Communities Agency and Taylor Wimpey. 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 two-bedroom ‘Edale’ coach house-style apartment, for example, is available under FirstBuy for just 80% of its £99,995 full price – that’s just £79,996 including a 5% deposit of only £5,000!

Lucky purchasers who purchase the ‘Edale’ under FirstBuy can then look forward to monthly mortgage repayments as low as £396.43.

This stylish property features an open-plan kitchen/living room, plus two-well proportioned bedrooms, a main bathroom and a handy storage closet, while outside, the apartment benefits from a garage.

Alternatively, three-bedroom houses are available at Kings Acre from as little as £126,995, four-bedroom homes from just £214,995 and five-bedroom properties from only £229,995, with selected plots available under FirstBuy.

Kings Acre enjoys a convenient location in the heart of Sherwood Forest close to a host of everyday amenities in the popular village of Clipstone, including local shops, pubs, a health centre, a pharmacy, a post office and takeaway outlets.

An archery club can be found in the village, which is also within easy reach of a number of golf courses, while days out can be enjoyed at Vicar Water Country Park, which boasts woodland trails, cycle paths, a fishing lake, a visitor centre, a children’s play area and a cafe.

For a wider choice of facilities, Mansfield and the Four Seasons Shopping Centre are just four miles from the development, while Nottingham, one of the nation’s most vibrant shopping, leisure and entertainment destinations, is only 14 miles away.

Parents will appreciate that the village primary school is located within easy reach of the development and Garibaldi College, a specialist maths and computing college, is also nearby and includes a sports complex which is also open to the public.

For commuters, the A60 and the A614 are easily accessible from Kings Acre, for quick routes to Nottingham, while the M1 is just nine miles from home. Regular direct rail services operate from Mansfield station to Nottingham in around 35 minutes.
