Escape the landlord and get on the property ladder at Apple Blossom Crescent

Aspiring homeowners can escape the landlord for good – and for less than they might think – by buying the home of their dreams at Taylor Wimpey’s Apple Blossom Crescent development in Little Billing, Northampton.

The cost of renting has gone up by an average of 2.7% in the last 12 months, placing a further squeeze on the already-stretched budgets of householders who are facing hikes in energy prices and other utility bills.

The good news is that tenants can own a fantastic brand new apartment of their own at Apple Blossom Crescent – and even save money in the process thanks to helpful initiatives such as the Government’s Help to Buy scheme.

Mariana Knight, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Many people living in rented accommodation simply continue to do so, never entertaining the idea of home ownership because they wrongly assume that it is out of their price range.

“But they would be surprised to learn that buying could potentially cost them less each month than what they are paying in rent. What’s more, with the Government’s Help to Buy scheme, renters who make the move to become homeowners may also find they can afford to upgrade to a bigger property than they are currently renting.

“At Apple Blossom Crescent, there’s a range of incentives available to help would-be buyers purchase their first property, so renters who dream of escaping the landlord should contact us without delay to find out more.”

Two-bedroom ‘Largo’ apartments are currently available at Apple Blossom Crescent from just £120,995, with each plot featuring a contemporary kitchen, a spacious living/dining room, two bedrooms and a main bathroom off the private entrance hallway, plus allocated parking outside.

All homes at the development are completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

Help to Buy makes purchasing a new home even easier and more achievable, and enables first-time buyers and those looking to move to take advantage of a Government loan of up to 20% of the full price of their new home – meaning they only require a 75% loan-to-value mortgage and a deposit as low as 5%.

The scheme is available on new-build homes up to the value of £600,000 and there is no salary cap for Help to Buy customers.

Situated on the eastern fringes of Northampton, Little Billing offers all the benefits of urban living, yet is just a short distance from some beautiful Northamptonshire countryside. Amenities for everyday needs are within easy reach, including shops, pubs and places to eat, and schools for children of all ages.

The high street stores and the bars, restaurants and entertainment facilities of Northampton town centre are just three miles away, while Sixfields leisure park, with its multi-screen cinema, bowling alley, gym, shops and restaurants, is easily accessible by car.

Apple Blossom Crescent has an enviable position close to the A45 for easy access to the M1 and A14. Northampton railway station provides good local services, plus regular trains into London Euston and Birmingham New Street.
