Why rent when you can make a new home yours at Badgers Rise

1st April 2015 Print

Tenants who dream of becoming homeowners will find it’s more affordable than they might have imagined to ‘Make It Yours’ at Taylor Wimpey’s popular Badgers Rise development in Telford.

Prospective purchasers who are tired of throwing money away on rent and want to get their foot onto the property ladder can choose from a selection of stunning two-bedroom apartments and houses priced from just £99,995 at this sought-after development.

There’s a whole host of ways that Taylor Wimpey can help first-time buyers to make their ideal home a reality, including the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme, which enables eligible purchasers to secure their dream property with a deposit as low as 5%.

Now is a great time for tenants to buy a new home – with reduced stamp duty for many and the Bank of England keeping the base rate at an historic low of 0.5%, which means that there are great mortgage deals to be had.

Elaine Taylor, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Instead of lining their landlord’s pockets, renters who long to take their first step on to the property ladder will find a range of superb properties on offer at Badgers Rise.

“Thanks to the Help to Buy scheme, making a new home yours could be even easier and more affordable than you might think. In fact, you may well find that your monthly mortgage repayments are less than the amount you’ve been paying in rent!

“However, there’s a great deal of interest in these high-quality, great-value properties, so I would urge anyone interested to come and talk to us as soon as possible!”

Taylor Wimpey’s Make It Yours initiative aims to show homebuyers the many different ways the leading housebuilder can help them make an easy and affordable move to their perfect property.

Ideal for first-time buyers, the stylish two-bedroom apartments at Badgers Rise are priced from just £99,995 and each features a spacious kitchen/dining/living room, a master bedroom, a further bedroom and a bathroom off the internal entrance hallway. Selected plots also benefit from an attractive private balcony to the living area.

What’s more, apartments currently available at Badgers Rise also include carpets and some helpful freestanding kitchen appliances too, making it even easier to move into your brand new apartment!

Alternatively, the beautiful three-bedroom ‘Ashton’ townhouse is available from just £165,995, and offers a large lounge/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, with a kitchen and a guest cloakroom completing the ground-floor layout.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two well-appointed bedrooms and a main bathroom, while an en-suite master bedroom enjoys appealing seclusion on the top floor. Outside, the property benefits from allocated parking for two cars. All Taylor Wimpey homes are completed to a high standard specification and are backed by a two-year Taylor Wimpey warranty and a 10-year guarantee from the National House-Building Council.

Help to Buy enables eligible purchasers to secure a Government loan for 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%. Help to Buy is available on new-build properties up to the value of £600,000 and there is no salary cap for customers who take advantage of the scheme.

Badgers Rise forms part of the wider Telford Millennium Village, an innovative development created in partnership with the Homes and Communities Agency and the borough of Telford & Wrekin.

The settlement is designed to be sustainable, ensuring it will include safe places for children to play, a community centre and fantastic public transport links.

The development is ideally placed to take advantage of the region’s travel network, with junction 6 of the M54 close by, for quick links to the M6 and M6 Toll to Staffordshire and Birmingham and the A5 for Shrewsbury.
