FirstBuy puts new homes in Aylesbury within reach

First-time buyers have a superb opportunity to leave renting behind and snap up a brand new home with just a 5% deposit at Taylor Wimpey’s New Berry Vale development of new homes for sale in Aylesbury.

The FirstBuy scheme is available now at this sought-after development, offering qualifying customers the chance to secure selected one and two-bedroom new apartments in Aylesbury for 80% of their full price, including a 5% deposit as low as £5,750, subject to status.

Would-be Aylesbury property-owners can find out more about this fantastic incentive by attending a special FirstBuy event, taking place at New Berry Vale between 5pm and 8pm on Thursday 28th February.

Steve Rolt, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Many first-time buyers wrongly believe that high house prices have left them stuck in a rental rut, but FirstBuy offers them an affordable way into owning a new property in Aylesbury.

“Anyone interested in securing a brand new Buckinghamshire property without having to spend months or even years saving for a big deposit should come along to our FirstBuy event on Thursday 28th February – and take their pick of the wide selection of new homes in Aylesbury we have available!”

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.

The following exceptional properties to buy in Aylesbury are available now at New Berry Vale under FirstBuy:

One-bedroom ‘Thame’ apartment – full price £115,000, FirstBuy price £92,000, including a 5% deposit of £5,750 

Two-bedroom ‘Thame’ apartment – full price £135,000, FirstBuy price £108,000, including 5% deposit of £6,750 

Two-bedroom ‘Croft’ maisonette – full price £165,000, FirstBuy price £132,000, including a 5% deposit of £8,250 

Two-bedroom ‘Brenig’ coach house – full price £175,000, FirstBuy price £140,000, including a 5% deposit of £8,750

Alternatively, the NewBuy scheme enables purchasers in a range of circumstances to secure these stunning one and two-bedroom properties with 95% mortgages, as well as a selection of three and four-bedroom houses, priced from just £220,000 and £275,000 respectively.

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.

New Berry Vale is the opening phase of Aylesbury’s stunning new Berryfields community. Bordered by picturesque countryside, yet within easy reach of the town centre, it will comprise exceptional community facilities and employment opportunities alongside more than 3,000 homes. There is also provision for two primary schools at Berryfields and the planned state-of-the-art Aylesbury Academy.

A local centre will include a food store and ten other smaller shops, while acres of parks and green open spaces, including a riverside park area, will also feature 13 equipped play areas for families to enjoy. A community centre will provide a focal point for the residents of the new homes and a new health centre is also planned.

For commuters, the M40 and the M25 are both within easy reach of the development, local bus routes provide connections to Gatwick, Heathrow and Luton airports, and regular direct train services operate from nearby Aylesbury Vale Parkway railway station to London Marylebone.

First-time buyers can find out more about securing a brand new home with FirstBuy or NewBuy at New Berry Vale by visiting the Sales Centre, located off Bicester Road, Aylesbury, HP18 0PS, and open daily from 10am to 5pm (Mondays from 1.30pm to 5pm).
