Secure a new property in Milton Keynes for less
The FirstBuy scheme could make life much easier for one lucky first-time buyer hoping to secure their place at Taylor Wimpey’s Oakbrook development of new homes in Milton Keynes.
First-time buyers will have to be quick if they want to secure a brand new property in Milton Keynes without spending months – or even years – saving for a deposit at Oakbrook, Taylor Wimpey’s popular development.
The stylish three-bedroom Plot 1710 ‘Alderton’ end-terrace property for sale in Milton Keynes is currently the only home available at Oakbrook under the FirstBuy scheme, which means one qualifying first-time buyer can secure it for 80% of its £235,000 – that’s just £188,000!
A 5% deposit as low as £11,750 may be all that’s required to secure this stunning Milton Keynes property, with Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency providing a 20% joint loan, which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the house is sold. To qualify for the scheme, first-time buyers should have a household income below £60,000.
Christine Scarborough, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey Buckinghamshire, says: “Many first-time buyers find it a struggle to save for the hefty deposits often required by mortgage lenders – but FirstBuy provides an affordable solution to this frustrating problem at our Oakbrook development of new homes for sale in Milton Keynes.
“This is an unmissable opportunity for one fast-acting purchaser to secure the Plot 1710 ‘Alderton’ with just a 5% deposit – but they’ll have to act fast, because when it’s gone, it’s gone!”
The ‘Alderton’ features a spacious living/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room and a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which boasts a Juliet balcony, and a main bathroom, while an en-suite master bedroom enjoys appealing seclusion on the top floor.
Four-bedroom house designs are also available at Oakbrook from as little as £249,950.
All new homes at Oakbrook are completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Oakbrook lies just to the east of the village of Newton Longville, for a good selection of local amenities, and is just a few miles from the centre of Milton Keynes, which boasts more than 230 shops, cafes, restaurants and an outdoor market.
The town also offers a wide selection of leisure and entertainment facilities is also close by, including the National Bowl and Milton Keynes Theatre District, StadiumMK and the Xscape dome, which features an indoor ski slope, a skydiving simulator, a rock-climbing wall, a multiplex cinema, bowling alleys and a health and fitness centre.
Parents will appreciate a wide choice of schools and further education colleges for children of all ages within easy reach of the development.
For commuters, the A5 and the M1 are just a few minutes’ drive from the development, while those travelling further afield will appreciate that Luton Airport is only 25 miles away. Services from Bletchley railway station to Euston put central London about an hour away by train.
