Can't afford a new home? George Wimpey says think again!

Leading housebuilder George Wimpey South East is holding a special event to help people onto the property ladder this weekend. First-time buyers coming along to the Repton Park development in Ashford on Saturday 20th or Sunday 21st September are being given two fantastic ways to purchase a brand new home.

The Easy Start scheme provides the opportunity to purchase a new home now for just 75% of the price and with no deposit. George Wimpey provides the remaining 25% of the purchase price through a 10-year, interest-free loan, allowing buyers to own 100% of their new property for 75% of the price.

As an alternative, purchasers can enjoy a special 4.99% mortgage rate, fixed for three years. The low-rate deal is designed to help customers who might otherwise struggle to find the right mortgage, giving them financial breathing space and the security of knowing their monthly outgoings won't go up during the three years.

Over the weekend prospective purchasers can also speak to an independent financial advisor to help them choose what's best for their circumstances.

The weekend's offers are available on a selection of one and two-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom homes at Repton Park, including the popular two-bedroom semi-detached ‘Bolney' design.

Featuring a lounge/dining room with French doors to the rear garden, a thoughtfully designed kitchen, a separate entrance hallway and a cloakroom, the property is completed by two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom located off the landing.

Like all new homes at the development, the ‘Bolney' enjoys a high standard specification including gas central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood. Each home also benefits from a garage, car port or allocated parking.

Apartments are priced from £119,995, two-bedroom houses from £159,995, three-bedroom designs start at £189,995 and four-bedroom homes from £224,995.

George Wimpey is also offering customers the perfect opportunity to take an easy step up the property ladder - by matching their deposit up to 5% of the purchase price using their Deposit Match scheme. Further information is available from the Sales Executive.

Repton Park is within easy reach of Ashford's shops, traditional boutiques, butchers and bakers, while a choice of primary and secondary schools are also located close by

Good public transport is a vital part of the overall plan for Repton Park, and a new bus service will link the community with Ashford town centre and railway station, with rail connections to Central London, Maidstone, Folkestone and to continental Europe.

To find out more about getting on the property ladder at Repton Park, visit the Sales Centre, located off Maidstone Road, Ashford and open this weekend from 10am until 5pm.
