Step on the Kent property ladder with FirstBuy

There are only two properties still available with the FirstBuy scheme at Taylor Wimpey’s Great Easthall development of new homes for sale in Sittingbourne, Kent.

First-time buyers have just two chances remaining to secure a brand new home for less at Taylor Wimpey’s Great Easthall development of properties in Sittingbourne.

The three-bedroom ‘Raglan’ and ‘Worleston’ terraced houses in Sittingbourne are the final plots available with the Government-backed incentive, which enables qualifying customers to secure stylish new homes in Kent for 80% of their full price, including a 5% deposit as low as £7,850, subject to status.

Jason Stokes, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “FirstBuy eliminates the need for a hefty deposit and means aspiring Kent property owners can start reaping the rewards of low mortgage rates much sooner than they may have thought possible.

“This fantastic incentive has proved hugely popular at Great Easthall and now there are just two FirstBuy plots remaining, so anyone interested in taking advantage of this affordable way to secure a new property in Sittingbourne should contact us before it’s too late!”

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.

Under the scheme, the Plot 160 ‘Worleston’ can be purchased by a qualifying first-time buyer for 80% of its £156,995 price – that’s just £125,596, including a 5% deposit of just £7,850.

Alternatively, the Plot 161 ‘Raglan’ is available for an 80% FirstBuy price of just £134,396 (full price £167,995), including a 5% deposit of only £8,400.

This stunning property features a contemporary kitchen/dining room spanning its entire width and opening out to the private rear garden, with a spacious lounge, a guest cloakroom and an integral garage completing the ground floor.

Upstairs, the landing leads to an en-suite master bedroom, two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a main bathroom, while the home also benefits from allocated parking outside.

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

The development enjoys an excellent position in the lively market town of Sittingbourne, where a good selection of major high street stores can be found, alongside pubs and restaurants to suit all tastes.

Nearby Faversham, Maidstone and the Medway towns of Chatham, Gillingham and Rochester widen the choice of shopping, sporting and leisure attractions.

The area is home to a good choice of schools, while commuters will appreciate easy access to the A2, the M2 and M20 and regular rail services from Sittingbourne station – a mile-and-a-half away – both to London Victoria and Gatwick airport.

To be in with a chance of securing one of the final homes available with FirstBuy at Great Easthall, first-time buyers can by visit the Sales and Marketing Suite, located off Abelyn Avenue, Easthall Lane, Sittingbourne, and open daily from 10am to 5pm.
