Secure a new property in Worcester under FirstBuy
The FirstBuy scheme is giving aspiring homeowners a chance to step on the property ladder for less at Taylor Wimpey’s Diglis Water development of new homes for sale in Worcester.
First-time buyers are being offered a rare and exciting opportunity to secure their place at Taylor Wimpey’s prestigious Diglis Water development of properties in Worcester – with a deposit as low as £6,500*!
The Government-backed FirstBuy initiative is now available at this stunning new waterside community on the banks of the River Severn, giving qualifying customers the chance to purchase selected apartments in Worcester for 80% of their full price.
With prices starting at just £129,995 for stylish one-bedroom ‘Marina’ apartments for sale in Worcester at Diglis Water, first-time buyers could achieve their dreams of home-ownership for only £103,996, including a 5% deposit of as little as £6,500, subject to status.
Under FirstBuy, Taylor Wimpey Worcester and the Homes and Communities Agency provide a 20% joint loan to the purchaser 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.
Anne Wallace, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Since it was first introduced in 2011, the FirstBuy scheme has proved hugely popular wherever it has been made available – and the fact it is now on offer with selected plots at Diglis Water is really exciting news for anyone hoping to snap up their first property in Worcester.
“FirstBuy means customers only require a 75% loan-to-value mortgage to secure one of our new properties for sale in Worcester, which opens up a range of more competitive mortgage rates and therefore lower monthly repayments.
“This is a fantastic chance to secure a beautiful new home in a wonderful waterside location without having to spend months, or even years, saving a hefty deposit. First-time buyers take note – there really is no time to lose!”
‘Marina’ apartments at Diglis Water are the ideal choice for individuals and couples in search of a stylish and well-appointed first home, with each plot benefiting from a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room opening through French doors to an attractive private balcony, plus a good-sized bedroom, a bathroom and allocated parking outside.
As alternatives to the one-bedroom plots available with FirstBuy at the development, there’s also a range of two-bedroom apartments priced from only £149,995, while luxurious two and three-bedroom penthouses are available from £289,995.
Situated in the heart of historic Worcester where the River Severn meets the Birmingham and Worcester Canal, Diglis Water boasts an exceptional waterside location that’s close to both city-centre conveniences and the rolling countryside surrounding this ancient cathedral city.
Worcester’s origins can be traced back over 2,000 years, but today it is a thriving and modern place that boasts all the amenities of 21st century living, including a diverse selection of chain stores and boutiques, plus restaurants, traditional pubs and a variety of leisure and entertainment opportunities.
Several well-regarded schools for children of all ages are located near the development, including Cherry Orchard Primary School, King’s St Albans, King’s Worcester and Worcester College of Technology.
Commuters will appreciate the new homes are less than 1.5 miles from Worcester’s two railway stations for services to Birmingham, London, Oxford and Bristol, while the Midlands motorway network is within easy reach for travel throughout the country and for links to Birmingham International Airport.
To stand a chance of securing a brand new apartment with FirstBuy at Diglis Water, first-time buyers can visit the Sales Centre, located off Diglis Dock Road, Worcester, WR5 3BS, and open seven days a week from 10am to 5pm. Alternatively, log on to taylorwimpey.co.uk/midlands.
