Leighton Buzzard apartments still on sale with FirstBuy

There’s a limited selection of apartments for sale in Leighton Buzzard available for 85% of their full price at Taylor Wimpey’s Heath Meadows development.

Aspiring first-time buyers are being urged to hurry if they want to snap up their dream home under the popular FirstBuy scheme at Heath Meadows, Taylor Wimpey’s sought-after development of property for sale in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.

There’s a limited selection of two-bedroom Leighton Buzzard flats 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 new home at the development, 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 Leighton Buzzard property is sold.

Under FirstBuy, the two-bedroom Plot 170 ‘Primrose’ apartment, for example, is available to an eligible first-time buyer for 80% of its £127,500 purchase price at the Taylor Wimpey Leighton Buzzard development – that’s just £102,000, including a 5% deposit of only £6,375.

Christine Scarborough, Regional Sales and Marketing Director 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 lower monthly mortgage repayments and no need for a big deposit.

“But with only a limited selection of properties available under this fantastic scheme, would-be homeowners in Leighton Buzzard should hurry along to Heath Meadows to find out more – because once they’re gone, they’re gone!”

The two-bedroom Plot 170 ‘Primrose’ apartment is an ideal choice for couples or young families, offering spacious accommodation and a practical interior layout.

At the heart of this impressive property is a large dual-aspect lounge/dining room with twin Juliet balconies and a semi-open-plan kitchen, while an en-suite master bedroom, a good-sized second bedroom, a main bathroom and a handy storage closet are also located off the internal entrance hallway.

The property also benefits from allocated parking outside and, like all new homes at the development, is completed to a high standard specification, including energy-efficient central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

Alternatively, two-bedroom ‘Mulberry’ apartments are available from just £103,960 under FirstBuy (full prices from £129,950).

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.

Heath Meadows occupies a convenient location in popular Leighton Buzzard, and is well served by local amenities, including a nursery and schools for children of all ages.

Lying just two miles from the town centre, the development is within easy reach of a wide selection of high street and independent stores, a twice-weekly market and a wealth of pubs, restaurants, health clubs and leisure facilities.

Quick links to London make a home at Heath Meadows highly desirable for commuters, with the A5 and M1 close by and the town’s rail station offering regular services to the capital and the North. Those travelling further afield will appreciate that Luton Airport is only 18 miles from the development.
