Limes Park development in Basingstoke

First-time buyers are being urged to grab an opportunity to purchase a new home at Taylor Wimpey’s Limes Park development in Basingstoke – without having to scrape together a hefty deposit.

The leading housebuilder’s amazing easystart shared equity initiative means qualifying first-time buyers can secure selected two-bedroom apartments for sale in Basingstoke for just 85% of their full price tag.

Under this superb scheme, the Plot 252 ‘Spencer House’ apartment in Basingstoke, priced £175,000, can be purchased for as little as £148,750, including a 5% deposit as low as £8,750, subject to status.

The initiative is the perfect solution for first-time buyers who would otherwise struggle to raise enough money for a deposit on their first property in Basingstoke – however with strictly limited availability, this opportunity is not expected to be available for long!

Tim Betts, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our fabulous easystart incentive makes it easy for first-time buyers to step on to the property ladder, and can turn dreams of owning a new home in Basingstoke into reality.

“However, property-seekers hoping to secure their ideal apartment using easystart at Limes Park should act quickly as we expect this superb offer to be incredibly popular.”

The beautiful two-bedroom first-floor Plot 252 apartment features a spacious open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, plus an en-suite master bedroom, a further double bedroom, a main bathroom and a handy storage closet located off the internal entrance hallway. Outside, the property benefits from two allocated parking spaces.

Under easystart, all the purchaser has to do is find a 5% deposit, subject to status, and Taylor Wimpey will provide an interest-free equity loan of 15% to boost the down-payment on the property. The loan can be repaid in up to three instalments over a 10-year period at the market value of the property when payments are made.

Alternatively, the superb selection of homes at Limes Park includes a second-floor ‘Spencer House’ apartment priced at just £177,000, the two-bedroom Plot 280 ‘Pegg’ coach house apartment at only £200,000 and a choice of four-bedroom properties from £275,000.

All properties at the development are completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

Limes Park is located on the north-western fringes of Basingstoke with the town centre just two miles from the development.

Basingstoke itself combines historical influences with bustling modern shops and exciting leisure pursuits, while Festival Place shopping centre comprises more than 150 shops, restaurants, bars and cafés.

The town is also home to a choice of music venues, multi-screen cinemas, tennis courts, a leisure park, sports clubs, an ice rink, a swimming pool and bowling alleys. The open countryside is also just a stone’s throw away, offering nature trails and opportunities for woodland walks and cycling.
