A match made in heave at Mawsley Village

George Wimpey is offering its movers the perfect opportunity to take an easy step up the property ladder – by matching their deposit up to 10% of the purchase price. The money-saving scheme, available at The Copse development at Mawsley Village in Northamptonshire, offers a helping hand to anyone struggling to secure a mortgage and is ideal for parents supporting children buying a first home.

Lynne Hartshorn, Sales and Marketing Director for George Wimpey East Midlands, says: “Because most mortgage lenders now require much higher deposits than they have in previous years, we are giving savvy customers the opportunity to make that initial investment in their new home now, so that they don’t have to save up for months, or even years.

“If they can put down a deposit of up to 10% of the purchase price, we’ll match that, saving them thousands of pounds now and over the lifetime of their mortgage, and we can even help with their legal fees.”

Just one of the homes available using the scheme is the delightful ‘Brampton’ apartment priced from only £109,995. This light and airy two-bedroom home is characterised by a large lounge with dining area and contemporary open-plan kitchen, an en-suite to the main bedroom in addition to a bathroom, and a handy storage room.

The two-bedroom ‘Welford’ housetype is available from £129,995, and comprises a kitchen, living room and cloakroom on the ground floor, and two double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.

Alternatively, the three-bedroom, three-storey ‘Newton’ townhouse with a delightful master suite starts at just £169,995, while four, five and six-bedroom houses are available to reserve off-plan for a summer move.

All new homes at The Copse enjoy a high standard specification including double glazing, central heating and fitted kitchen complete with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Mawsley is a brand new village development located in open countryside, combining traditional design with modern comfort. Properties recreate the charm and character of country life, and are constructed largely from local stone laid by craftsmen using time-honoured methods, with chimneys, steeply pitched roofs and slate tiles.

A range of new facilities has been constructed alongside the properties including a community centre, a primary school, a public house, shop and sports field.

For commuters, the nearest rail link is just two miles away in Kettering, while the village is just 15 minutes from Northampton by road, and 30 minutes from Leicester.

As an alternative to the Deposit Match scheme, George Wimpey’s easymover programme provides a range of special incentives on selected properties for customers with a house to sell, who 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.

Further information on homes and incentives is available by visiting The Copse at Mawsley Village, located by following signs from the A43 south-west of Kettering, and open Thursday to Monday, 10.30am to 5.30pm.
