Get 'Help to Buy' a new home at Leggatts Green with a 5% deposit
Property-seekers in Watford are being offered a superb opportunity to snap up a stunning new home for less with Taylor Wimpey.
The Government’s new Help to Buy shared equity scheme is now available at the leading housebuilder’s Leggatts Green development, enabling homebuyers to take their pick from a choice of stylish two-bedroom apartments for just 80% of their full price – including a 5% deposit.
Under this helpful incentive, the Government provides eligible purchasers with a 20% loan to help them secure new-build homes priced up to £600,000. Help to Buy shared equity is available to both first-time buyers and existing homeowners, and there is no salary cap for customers taking advantage of the scheme.
At Leggatts Green, the impressive two-bedroom Plot 48 apartment, for example, can be purchased through Help to Buy for 80% of its full £201,950 price – that’s just £161,560, including a 5% deposit of only £10,098.
Christine Scarborough, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “The Help to Buy scheme will make a huge difference to a range of would-be homebuyers in Watford who can afford the monthly mortgage repayments on a new property, but not the hefty deposit.
“We’ve been receiving a great deal of interest in this exciting initiative since its launch at the beginning of April, so anyone hoping to secure their ideal new home for 80% of its full price at Leggatts Green should contact us without delay.”
There’s a selection of stunning two-bedroom apartments currently available to reserve at Leggatts Green, with prices ranging from £201,950 to £206,950 (80% Help to Buy prices from £161,560 to £165,560).
Each apartment benefits from a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room with French doors opening out to one or two Juliet balconies, with an en-suite master bedroom, a second double bedroom and a main bathroom also located off the internal entrance hallway.
Each new home also includes allocated parking outside and is completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
As an alternative to Help to Buy shared equity, the Government-backed NewBuy scheme is also available at Leggatts Green, offering credit-worthy purchasers the opportunity to secure their ideal home with a 95% mortgage and a 5% deposit. Full details of all homebuyer incentives are available from the Sales Executive.
