Second-time buyers make an easy move with Help to Buy

Homeowners who had thought they couldn’t afford to make the next step up the property ladder are snapping up the chance to do just that at Taylor Wimpey developments across the Midlands.

That’s because the leading housebuilder can help to sell their existing home through its popular easymover scheme – and then the customer can take advantage of the Government’s Help to Buy shared equity initiative, which enables them to secure their new home for 80% of its full price, including a deposit as low as 5%!

Anne Wallace, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “The opportunity to combine Help to Buy with easymover – or use either scheme separately – has fantastic potential to help purchasers find the home of their dreams.

“We can help sell a customer’s existing property quickly with easymover and they can then secure a spacious new Taylor Wimpey home under Help to Buy.

“It’s so easy – so it’s no surprise that it’s proving incredibly popular with savvy buyers!

“And because purchasers only need a 5% deposit and a 75% loan-to-value mortgage with Help to Buy, they can access a wider range of competitive deals from lenders and it can mean they’re able to buy a larger property than they had thought possible!”

Under easymover, Taylor Wimpey helps existing homeowners find a buyer for their old property in just a few weeks, and can even cover the cost of estate agency fees.

The customer can then secure their new Taylor Wimpey home under Help to Buy, which involves a Government loan of up to 20% and is available on new-build properties up to the value of £600,000. There is no salary cap for purchasers using the scheme.
