Help to get on the Basingstoke property ladder
Hampshire property-seekers are being offered help to secure their first home at Limes Park, Taylor Wimpey’s development of homes for sale in Basingstoke.
First-time buyers are being offered an amazing opportunity to step on to the property ladder at Taylor Wimpey’s Limes Park development of new builds for sale in Basingstoke – and all they may need is a deposit as low as £8,750.
Selected apartments for sale in Basingstoke at this sought-after development are now available with the leading housebuilder’s easystart shared equity scheme, which lets qualifying first-time buyers secure their new home for 85% of its full purchase price.
Under the initiative, stylish two-bedroom ‘Spencer House’ flats for sale in Basingstoke, priced from £175,000, can be purchased for an 85% easystart price of as little as £148,750, including a 5% deposit of just £8,750, subject to status.
As well as helping the purchaser to secure a great-value mortgage through its independent financial advisors, Taylor Wimpey Basingstoke will provide 15% equity in the form of an interest-free loan, repayable in up to three instalments over a 10-year period at the market value of the property when the payments are made.
Tim Betts, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Easystart shared equity presents a fantastic opportunity for aspiring homeowners to purchase their first property without the need for a significant deposit.
“This incredible scheme is always popular with first-time buyers and because it’s available with only a limited number of apartments at Limes Park, we don’t expect it to be on offer for long. I would encourage would-be movers to contact us without delay if they hope to avoid missing out.”
Two-bedroom ‘Spencer House’ apartments are the ideal choice for individuals or couples in search of their first home, and each plot features a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room, an en-suite master bedroom, a second double bedroom and a bathroom off the internal entrance hallway, plus two allocated parking spaces outside.
Alternatively, there’s a superb selection of four-bedroom houses available to purchase at Limes Park from only £275,000.
All new homes are completed to a high standard specification, including central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
And as a further incentive to choose one of these exceptional properties, those reserving any new home at the development by 21st December 2012 will receive a free flatscreen television as a welcome gift when they complete their purchase.
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.
To be in with a chance of securing an easystart apartment at Limes Park, first-time buyers should visit the Sales Information Centre, located off Peggs Way, Park Village, Basingstoke, and open seven days a week from 10.30am to 5.30pm. Alternatively, visit taylorwimpey.co.uk/westlondon.
