First-time buyers are being urged to hurry if they want to secure their dream home under FirstBuy at Isaacs Place, Taylor Wimpey’s development of new properties in Grantham, Lincolnshire.

A strictly limited selection of two-bedroom apartments in Grantham remain available to purchase through the Government-backed incentive, which lets qualifying first-time buyers secure their new home for just 80% of its full price.

Subject to status, FirstBuy customers require only a 5% deposit to purchase a Taylor Wimpey apartment in Grantham, with the leading housebuilder and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) providing a 20% equity loan which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold.

Under FirstBuy, a two-bedroom ‘Sienna’ or ‘Cyan’ apartment at the development in Grantham would be available to an eligible first-time buyer for 80% of its £79,995 purchase price – that’s just £63,996, including a 5% deposit of only £4,000.

Potentially, this could mean monthly mortgage payments of as little as £317.56 for the first-time buyer who moves quickly enough to secure their new home in Grantham.

Janet Robinson, Regional Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey, says: “For anyone who feels like they’re stuck in a rental rut, FirstBuy offers a genuinely affordable route on to the property ladder, with low monthly mortgage repayments and no need for a big deposit.

“But with only a limited selection of homes for sale in Grantham still available under this fantastic scheme, would-be homeowners should hurry along to Isaacs Place to find out more – because once they’re gone, they’re gone!”

The two-bedroom ‘Sienna’ and ‘Cyan’ apartments available with FirstBuy at Isaacs Place benefit from convenient interior layouts which are perfectly suited to couples or young families. Each apartment features a spacious lounge/dining room with open-plan kitchen, plus two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom off the internal entrance hallway. Allocated parking is located outside.

Like all new homes at the development, these apartments are completed to a high standard specification, including central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

To qualify for FirstBuy, purchasers must be first-time buyers with a combined household income below £60,000. Full details of the scheme, including terms and conditions, are available from the Sales Executive.

Isaacs Place boasts the tranquillity and breathing space of prime rural Lincolnshire – yet is located just a mile from the huge selection of local facilities in Grantham town centre, including a variety of high street and independent stores.

For leisure time, the town offers an independent cinema, leisure centre with swimming pool, arts centre, theatre and a library, in addition to a wide choice of restaurants, public houses and take away food outlets.

Grantham is also home to health services and schools catering for children of all ages, including Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School and The King’s Grammar School, notable for educating past pupils Margaret Thatcher and Sir Isaac Newton, respectively. Grantham Preparatory School and Walton Girls High School are both under a mile from Isaacs Place.

Commuters will appreciate that the development is conveniently located for the region’s major transport routes, with the A1 just over a mile away, while the town’s rail station offers direct services to London in just 70 minutes.
