A helping hand to buy a property in Basingstoke
Would-be homeowners have a great chance to secure their first home for less at Everest Park, Taylor Wimpey’s development of new homes for sale in Basingstoke.
Aspiring first-time buyers are being urged to hurry if they want to snap up their dream home under the popular FirstBuy scheme at Everest Park, Taylor Wimpey’s sought-after development of properties in Basingstoke.
There’s a limited selection of stylish three and four-bedroom town houses in Basingstoke available to purchase through the Government-backed incentive, which lets qualifying first-time buyers secure their new home for just 80% of its full price.
Subject to status, Basingstoke property-seekers using FirstBuy require only a 5% deposit to purchase a Taylor Wimpey home at Everest Park, with the leading housebuilder and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) providing a 20% equity loan which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold.
Under FirstBuy, the three-bedroom Plot 120 ‘Hindscarth’ property for sale in Basingtoke, for example, is available to an eligible first-time buyer for 80% of its £240,000 purchase price – that’s just £192,000, including a 5% deposit of only £12,000.
Tim Betts, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey Basingstoke, says: “For anyone who feels like they’re stuck in a rental rut, FirstBuy offers a genuinely affordable route on to the property ladder, with lower monthly mortgage repayments and no need for a big deposit.
“But with only a limited selection of properties available under this fantastic scheme, would-be homeowners in Basingstoke should hurry along to Everest Park to find out more – because once they’re gone, they’re gone!”
The ‘Hindscarth’ townhouse is an ideal choice for couples or young families, offering spacious accommodation and a practical interior layout across three storeys.
At the heart of this impressive property is a spacious lounge/dining room leading through to an optional conservatory with a kitchen/breakfast room and a guest cloakroom completing the ground-floor layout. Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two bedrooms and a bathroom, while the en-suite master bedroom enjoys appealing seclusion on the top floor.
The property also benefits from a private rear garden, a garage and allocated parking outside and, like all new homes at the development, is completed to a high standard specification, including energy-efficient central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Alternatively, the three/four-bedroom Plot 122 ‘Blencathra’ townhouse is available for just £196,000 under FirstBuy (full price £245,000). To qualify for FirstBuy, purchasers must be first-time buyers with a combined household income below £60,000. Full details of the scheme, including terms and conditions, are available from the Sales Executive.
Everest Park enjoys a popular location on the northern fringes of Basingstoke, bordered by beautiful countryside and just over two miles from the town centre.
Basingstoke is home to bustling modern shops, good schools and exciting leisure activities, while its Festival Place shopping centre is ranked in the UK's top 10 biggest and best, with 165 stores and 29 restaurants, bars and cafes.
For commuters, Basingstoke railway station is only a mile from the new homes and offers regular services to London Waterloo in just 45 minutes, while the M3 motorway is only three miles away.
To stand a chance of securing one of the high-quality homes now available with FirstBuy at Everest Park, property-seekers can visit the Sales Information Centre, located at 21 John Hunt Drive, off Popley Way, Basingstoke, and open Thursday to Monday from 10.30am to 5.30pm.
