An affordable way to step on the property ladder is available now at Taylor Wimpey’s Kings Quarter development of new homes for sale in Chislehurst, Kent.

Fast-moving first-time buyers can step on the property ladder with ease thanks to the introduction of the FirstBuy scheme at Taylor Wimpey’s Kings Quarter development in Chislehurst.

This exceptional Government-backed initiative – newly launched at Kings Quarter – allows qualifying purchasers to secure selected two-bedroom apartments in Chislehurst for just 80% of their full price, including a 5% deposit, subject to status.

However, with FirstBuy limited to a selected number of plots at Kings Quarter, Chislehurst property-seekers are being urged to visit the development as soon as possible to give themselves the very best chance of taking advantage of this incredible incentive.

Sarah Pasco, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “FirstBuy has been an overwhelming success since being introduced at selected Taylor Wimpey developments across the country – and we are delighted to have now launched the scheme at our collection of new properties for sale in Chislehurst.

“Countless home-hunters have been able to step on the first rung of the property ladder after discovering how simple and affordable it is to purchase a home with the help of FirstBuy.

“Due to the high demand, and the fact the initiative is limited to a selected number of plots, I would urge those who dream of owning their first property in Chislehurst to get in touch straight away to avoid missing out.”

One of the stylish new homes available with FirstBuy at Kings Quarter is the two-bedroom Plot 52 ‘Edlingham House’ apartment, which can be purchased by one lucky buyer for 80% of its £245,000 full price – that’s just £196,000, including a deposit of only £12,250.

Each stunning two-bedroom apartment at Kings Quarter features a light and airy kitchen/dining/living room, two well-proportioned bedrooms, a main bathroom, plus allocated parking outside. Selected plots benefit from en-suite shower rooms to master bedrooms and Juliet balconies to living areas.

All homes at the development are completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

FirstBuy works through a joint loan of 20% from the Homes and Communities Agency and Taylor Wimpey, which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold. To be eligible, purchasers must be first-time buyers and their total household earnings should be less than £60,000.

Bordered by picturesque woodland, Kings Quarter is being constructed on the site of the former Ravensbourne College within the London Borough of Bromley.

Chislehurst boasts a remarkable variety of shops within walking distance of the new homes and the bustling High Street includes elegant interior design stores, stylish boutiques and trendy cafes and coffee bars along with a Sainsbury’s supermarket. The chic Royal Parade, meanwhile, offers genteel shops, art and antiques and exclusive designer boutiques.

Elmstead Woods railway station (Travelcard Zone 4) is ideally placed for commuters just half a mile from the new homes, and offers regular services to Charing Cross, London Bridge and London Cannon Street, while from Bromley there are trains to London Victoria, Blackfriars and Ashford International.

To find out more about securing a new home at Kings Quarter with FirstBuy, first-time buyers should visit the Sales Information Centre, located off Walden Road, Chislehurst, BR7 5SN, and open daily between 10.30am and 5.30pm. Alternatively, see taylorwimpey.co.uk/swt.
