Hampshire property-seekers who fear a first home is out of their reach should make their way to The Romans at Augusta Park, Taylor Wimpey’s development of homes for sale in Andover.

First-time buyers can secure 100% of a brand new home for just 85% of its purchase price under a superb shared-equity scheme at Taylor Wimpey’s The Romans at Augusta Park development of new houses for sale in Andover.

Through the easystart incentive, qualifying homebuyers can snap up a three-bedroom ‘Richborough’ townhouse, priced from £210,000, for as little as £178,500 – including a 5% deposit as low as £10,500.

With Taylor Wimpey Andover providing 15% of the equity as an interest-free loan, the lucky purchaser is able to access a wider range of great-value mortgages. They are then free to repay the loan at the property’s market value in three flexible instalments over a ten-year period.
