Buyers move quickly to snap up new homes in Evesham

New homes are selling fast at Taylor Wimpey’s highly desirable Poppyfields development of apartments and houses for sale in Evesham, Worcestershire.
Home-hunters are being urged to hurry if they want to be sure of securing their perfect property in Evesham at Taylor Wimpey’s stunning Poppyfields development.
Discerning Worcestershire property-seekers are eager to take their place in this exciting community thanks to its great location and superb value prices, with the new homes for sale in Evesham selling at a rate of almost one every week since the turn of the year.
Many of these plots have been purchased by first-time buyers who have found an easier way to climb onto the property ladder at Poppyfields thanks to the fantastic Government-backed FirstBuy scheme, which enables qualifying purchasers to secure selected properties to buy in Evesham for 80% of their full price, including a deposit of just 5%, subject to status.
FirstBuy customers only require a 75% loan-to-value mortgage, which opens up a range of more competitive mortgage rates and therefore lower monthly repayments for eligible new build homes in Evesham.
New Taylor Wimpey homes in Evesham available under the initiative include the two-bedroom ‘Rye’ coach house-style apartment, priced from just £149,995, which is available for a FirstBuy price of just £119,996, including a 5% deposit as low as £7,500.
Alternatively, the two-bedroom ‘York’ terraced property for sale in Evesham can be purchased under FirstBuy for only £131,196 (full price £163,995) with a deposit of as little as £8,200.
Anne Wallace, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Savvy purchasers are wasting no time in making Poppyfields their home, with our high-quality properties currently being reserved here at the rate of almost one every week.
“With interest showing no sign of slowing, I would urge would-be purchasers to get in touch right away to make sure they don’t miss out!”
FirstBuy works through a 20% loan from Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency, which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold. To qualify for the scheme, first-time buyers must have a total household income below £60,000.
As alternatives to the two-bedroom properties available with FirstBuy at Poppyfields, there’s also a choice of three-bedroom homes priced from £172,995 at the development.
Located on the eastern fringes of Evesham bordering Worcestershire’s charming countryside and on the doorstep of the Cotswolds, Poppyfields builds on the success of Taylor Wimpey’s nearby Lavender Fields development.
The new homes are conveniently located less than a mile from Evesham’s bustling town centre, which offers a superb selection of independent shops and big-name retailers, traditional pubs and trendy bars, quaint tea rooms and well-regarded restaurants, plus a host of entertainment opportunities.
A choice of schools for children of all ages can be found within walking distance of home, while Evesham railway station is just two miles away for direct services to Worcester, Oxford and London Paddington, and connections to Birmingham.
Families will appreciate the range of local attractions on offer within easy reach of the development, including Hidcote Manor Gardens, Aztec Watersports, Evesham Art Centre and Abbey Park.
