Pay less to live in a national park with Taylor Wimpey

Research has found that living on Dartmoor could cost you up to 50 per cent more than properties in the local area. However, with Taylor Wimpey your dream home near the national park is now more affordable.

Property prices in Dartmoor cost an average of £104,000 more than houses in the surrounding area and comes in at number five in a list of the national parks where the highest premium is paid. However, Taylor Wimpey’s Monterey Park in Bovey Tracey, which has a range of two, three, four and five bedroom homes, is just a short distance from Dartmoor and has prices starting from £144,995, making it an affordable option for those wishing to live near a national park.

Janine Copleston, regional sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey Exeter, comments: “With the average house price premium being much higher to live in the surrounds of a national park it means young people and families may not be able to afford to live in the area they grew up.

“Our affordable homes enable people to purchase their dream home in a much sought-after location at a fraction of the cost.”

For those wishing to purchase a home at Monterey Park, Taylor Wimpey is offering the opportunity for house hunters the opportunity to buy through the Government-backed NewBuy scheme. The incentive allows you to pay a five per cent deposit on your new home with a 95 per cent mortgage, which makes it perfect for first time buyers or existing home owners with limited equity in their home.
