A helping hand to secure a new home in Northolt
Taylor Wimpey is offering aspiring first-time buyers a leg up on to the property ladder at its sought-after Canal View at Grand Union Village development of new homes in Northolt.
Under the popular FirstBuy Government-backed initiative, selected apartments for sale in Northolt can be purchased by qualifying first-time buyers for 80% of their full price, including a 5% deposit, subject to status.
Christine Scarborough, Regional Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Great-value flats in Northolt are always in high demand, and our Canal View properties are proving to be no exception.
“With FirstBuy available on a strictly limited number of our new apartments in Northolt, 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 Plot 67 two-bedroom apartment is one of the plots which can be accessed for just 80% of its full £232,500 purchase price under FirstBuy – that’s just £186,000, including a 5% deposit of as little as £11,625.
This stylish Northolt property features a contemporary open-plan kitchen/dining/living room opening through patio doors to a private balcony, plus an en-suite master bedroom, a second well-proportioned bedroom, a main bathroom and a handy storage closet off the internal entrance hallway.
One-bedroom plots are also available at Canal View from £172,500.
Under FirstBuy, Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) boost the purchaser’s down-payment 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, customers must be first-time buyers with a household income of under £60,000.
All new homes at Canal View are completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Grand Union Village is a desirable waterside community laid out in carefully planned ‘Home Zones’, which offer a tranquil haven from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Footpaths, bridges and cycleways afford the area a relaxed pace of life, while the new marina at Grand Union Village boasts a range of shops and places to eat.
