Escape the parents at Balmoral House

Balmoral House

Aspiring homeowners hoping to escape living with their parents now have the perfect opportunity to step on to the property ladder by purchasing a brand new apartment at Taylor Wimpey’s Abbotswood development in Romsey, Hampshire.

Abbotswood offers first-time buyers a wide selection of stunning brand new starter homes, including one-bedroom apartments at the contemporary ‘Balmoral House’, with prices starting from just £151,500.

To make the apartments at Abbotswood even more accessible to first-time buyers, Taylor Wimpey offers a variety of helpful homebuyer incentives, including Help to Buy.

The Help to Buy scheme enables eligible first-time buyers, as well as those with a property to sell, to secure a Government loan of up to 20% of their new home’s full price – so they only need a 75% loan-to-value mortgage and a deposit as low as 5%.

The initiative is available on new-build homes up to the value of £600,000, and there’s no salary cap for purchasers making use of the scheme.

Fiona Creed, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “We understand that it can be very stressful for young people who are trying to make the first move on to the housing ladder, as it’s often difficult to save the money needed for a deposit.

“With the Help to Buy scheme we hope that both buyers and their parents are happy with how affordable a Taylor Wimpey property can be, helping to get more young people into a place of their own!

“I’d urge any potential buyers to get in touch now, as we don’t expect these stunning great-value properties to be available for long.”

The one-bedroom apartments at ‘Balmoral House’ are the perfect choice for first-time buyers, offering an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, a master bedroom, a main bathroom and handy storage cupboards located off the entrance hallway. The properties also benefit from an allocated parking space outside.

These brand new homes are also covered by a two-year Taylor Wimpey guarantee and a 10-year NHBC Buildmark insurance policy and warranty.

Romsey is a small market town offering many of the amenities needed for everyday life, whilst retaining a distinct sense of history. The awe-inspiring Norman Abbey dominates the town and is surrounded by charming medieval streets.

Southampton, the largest city in Hampshire, is located less than nine miles away, offering a host of cultural and historic attractions as well as shopping and leisure opportunities, including art galleries, shopping centres and a host of bars and restaurants.

Romsey railway station provides direct services to Southampton, Brighton, Bristol and Cardiff while the town is within 10 miles of both the M27 and M3, providing fast links along the south coast and to London. Southampton Airport, with around 50 destinations to choose from, is just 11 miles away.

To find out more about the fantastic opportunities available at Taylor Wimpey’s Abbotswood, first-time buyers can visit the Sales Information Centre, located off Braishfield Road, Romsey, Hampshire, SO51 0PB, and open daily from 10am to 5pm (Fridays 1pm to 5pm).
