Why buying new is the smart choice in Southampton
Whether you are looking to move house or get your foot on the property ladder, you should consider the many benefits that leading house builder Taylor Wimpey has to offer.
Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties’ Compass Point development in Southampton boasts a selection of two, three and four bedroom new build houses and is perfect for those looking for stylish yet affordable properties, with prices starting from £137,000.
According to research carried out by Taylor Wimpey, buying a new build home could save you over £1,200 a year in energy bills. Results found that fuel costs in a brand new property came to a total of £510 compared to £1,732 for a detached house built in the 1990s. CO2 emissions from the older property were also nearly four times higher than those of the new build home.
Fiona Creed, regional sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, comments: “With the cost of living becoming increasingly more expensive, buying new provides home owners with a host of benefits. There’s a range of financial schemes on offer to help you with the purchase of your dream home and in addition to saving money on utility bills, there are no costly renovations to consider.”
Purchasing a brand new home at Compass Point is now even easier with Part Exchange and NewBuy now available. Through Part Exchange you can sell your current home at an agreed price to Taylor Wimpey which saves you the stress and expense of finding the right buyer.
NewBuy is available for all credit worthy first time buyers and home movers on properties up to the value of £500,000. Through the Government-backed scheme purchasers can access 95% mortgages and only need pay a minimum deposit of 5% of the value of the property.
Other advantages of buying a brand new home are that each property is built to the highest specification and complete with brand new fixtures and fittings. Also, all Taylor Wimpey homes comes with a 10 year NHBC Buildmark warranty and insurance policy and a two year Taylor Wimpey Warranty providing you with peace of mind for your new property.
Fiona concludes: “If you are looking to purchase a brand new property, Compass Point benefits from being the one of the few new build developments in the area. So don’t delay visiting the marketing suite to find out more information.”
