New homes for just £104,996

An innovative new scheme from George Wimpey East Midlands lets househunters move immediately onto the property ladder for just an amazing £104,996. The ‘easystart' scheme means the buyer does not even have to worry about saving up a deposit. They simply secure a mortgage for 75% of the purchase price through Halifax. George Wimpey then provides a rent and interest-free loan on the remaining 25% of the purchase price for up to 10 years. From day one the purchaser owns 100% of their new home for 75% of the price.

The scheme is available on a range of George Wimpey properties at its Poppyfields development in Corby, Northamptonshire. The ‘easystart' prices for homes available under the scheme include the three-bedroom ‘Heather' for just £104,996 and the three-bedroom ‘Davenport' townhouse for £116,996.

"This scheme just couldn't be more straightforward," says Lynne Hartshorn, regional sales and marketing director. "The purchaser owns 100% of the property from day one and is free to make payments during the 10 years period to suit their individual circumstances - this could mean up to three smaller payments, repaying the total amount early or waiting until the end of the period.

"We believe that this is just the sort of simple and effective scheme that people are currently looking for and we're expecting a great deal of interest from savvy buyers."

As an alternative to the ‘easystart' scheme, George Wimpey's ‘easymover' programme provides a range of special incentives on selected properties for first-time buyers, while customers with a house to sell can reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder finds a buyer for their current property - guaranteeing 100% of the market value - and pays the estate agents' fees.

Customers can also take advantage of the leading housebuilder's House 2 Home bespoke moving package comprising free UK removal regardless of distance or size of property, full packing and unpacking service and insurance cover.

Poppyfields is located just over a mile from Corby town centre, home to a wide choice of shops, leisure amenities and schools catering for children of all ages.

For commuters, the development is a short drive from the A14, providing easy links to the M6 and M1, and regular services operate from Corby rail station to the main line at Kettering, putting London just an hour away by train.

Over the next few years, up-and-coming Corby is to undergo a visionary transformation, including a new £60 million town centre with new shopping, leisure and cultural facilities, new schools and colleges and thousands of new jobs.
