There are just four chances remaining for first-time buyers to step on the property ladder for less at Taylor Wimpey’s Watermill Grange development of new homes in Maidstone, Kent.

First-time buyers are being urged to hurry if they want to snap up a stylish property in Maidstone with just a 5% deposit at Taylor Wimpey’s Watermill Grange development.

The FirstBuy scheme is available with a final selection of the apartments for sale in Maidstone, offering qualifying purchasers their last chance to access a stunning home for 80% of its full price and a deposit as low as £6,975, subject to status.*

Just four flats in Maidstone remain on offer with this Government-backed opportunity to step on the property ladder for less, so aspiring homebuyers are being urged to act before it’s too late.

Jason Stokes, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey Kent, says: “Many first-time buyers struggle to save the big deposits often required to purchase their own home – but FirstBuy means there’s now an easier way to access a wonderful new apartment in Maidstone.

“This exceptional incentive is only available with a strictly limited number of properties for sale in Maidstone, so anyone interested in securing their dream home with a 5% deposit should get in touch today!”

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.

For example, qualifying first-time buyers can secure the two-bedroom Plot 12 ‘Telford House’ apartment under FirstBuy for 80% of its full £139,500 price – that’s just £111,600, including a 5% deposit of only £6,975, subject to status.

This impressive apartment features a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with access to a private balcony, plus an en-suite master bedroom, a second well-proportioned bedroom and a main bathroom off the entrance hallway, while the property also benefits from allocated parking outside.

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

Watermill Grange is an exclusive development within tree-lined, landscaped grounds, conveniently situated on the edge of the village of Loose. The homes are located within easy reach of Maidstone town centre, the new Fremlin Walk shopping centre, Mall Chequers Centre and a choice of supermarkets.

Swimming pools, a bowling alley, a multi-screen cinema and theatres mean that there’s plenty to do during leisure time, and the development also benefits from close proximity to a choice of good local schools for children of all ages.

For commuters, the M20 is within easy reach, and the M25 is only 25 miles further on, while regular rail services to London run from Maidstone East station and Ashford International offers quick links to the Continent.

Property-seekers hoping to secure a stylish apartment for 80% of its full price at Watermill Grange should visit the Sales and Marketing Suite, located off Loose Road, Maidstone, ME15 9QB, and open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm. Alternatively, log on to taylorwimpey.co.uk/southeast.
