First time buyer races to David Wilson Homes

Buying a home can be easier than you think thanks to the expert advice and incentive schemes available from David Wilson Homes South Midlands, with first time buyers like Andrew McLaren settling into their ideal home within days of the paint being dry. Andrew, 24, is used to living life in the fast lane, working for a Formula 1 racing team, and when looking to buy his first home there was no need to step on the brakes.

Having searched the area for two bedroom apartments, Andrew found the perfect pit stop at David Wilson Homes’ Angler’s Rest development in Daventry, Northamptonshire.

Andrew comments: “It was always going to be a big decision to ‘make a move’ onto the property ladder for the first time and saving for the deposit as well as getting the right mortgage made the whole process seem a bit daunting.

“The fact that David Wilson Homes offered additional financial support by paying the five percent deposit on the property was a great help though and meant that I was able to obtain a better mortgage rate on my home.

“Angela, the sales advisor at Angler’s Rest, was fantastic - always welcoming and friendly and if I had any queries Angela dealt with them within the same day. She really is a credit to David Wilson Homes.”

Andrew was also impressed by the location of the development with the aptly named Angler’s Rest boasting a waterside location with the Drayton Reservoir on the doorstep as well as the Grand Union Canal close by.

Andrew continues: “The design and finish of the apartment is really stylish. One of my favourite features is the view of the reservoir, which I can see from almost every window in my new home, and the fantastic spacious kitchen and living area is perfect for when I’m entertaining family and friends or just simply relaxing on the sofa and admiring the landscape.”

Ronel Segar, sales director for David Wilson Homes South Midlands, comments: “It is always a big decision to make a move onto the property ladder and concerns about saving for deposits or worries about mortgage payments can make the whole process seem daunting. With this in mind, David Wilson Homes offers a number of financial incentives across selected developments which are aimed to help first time buyers, like Andrew, enter into the housing market with ease. “

David Wilson Homes’ Easy Start scheme is now available at Angler’s Rest. The Easy Start scheme is available for first time buyers and key workers and means purchasers pay just 75 per cent of the purchase price of the apartment, with no deposit required taking the cost of the two bedroom Willows apartment from £132,950 to just £97,712.

Ronel continues: “This is a win-win situation for home-buyers as they can own their entire home for only 75 per cent of the cost and no deposit, ensuring that they can make the move without stretching their finances too far.”

Homeowners at Angler’s Rest are also able to enjoy a host of amenities and leisure activities including a nearby golf course, walks along the Grand Union Canal and a local country park which boasts a conservation area which provides the perfect setting to take a relaxing walk or enjoy a family picnic.

Angler’s Rest is located on the edge of the peaceful Drayton Reservoir near the town of Daventry and the thriving city of Northampton, allowing buyers to enjoy the best of both town and country. Within easy reach of the M1 and the A45, Angler’s Rest also offers the perfect location for commuters.
