First-time buyers have a superb chance to secure a stunning apartment with an affordable deposit at Taylor Wimpey’s Meadow View development of new homes for sale in Herne Bay – but they will have to be quick!
For a limited time only, the FirstBuy scheme is making it possible for aspiring homeowners to snap up a two-bedroom property in Herne Bay at this sought-after development for 80% of its full price, including a 5% deposit as low as £6,575!
To take advantage of this Government-backed incentive, purchasers will be required to exchange contracts for their ideal Herne Bay property by the end of March – so time is of the essence!
Jason Stokes, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey Kent, says: “First-time buyers can side-step months – or even years – of saving for a downpayment by using FirstBuy to access their ideal home at Meadow View with a deposit from £6,575!
“This fantastic incentive is only available to first-time buyers who can exchange contracts on selected properties in Herne Bay by the end of March, so anyone hoping to enjoy an affordable route into home-ownership should contact us without delay!”
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 two-bedroom Plot 225 ‘Magnolia Court’ apartment, for example, can be secured by a qualifying first-time buyer using FirstBuy for 80% of its £131,500 full price – that’s £105,200, including a 5% deposit of just £6,575, subject to status.
