David Wilson Homes launches Easy Start Scheme

David Wilson Homes has put affordability at the top of its agenda by launching its Easy Start scheme at its Sandstone Gardens development in Knowsley and its Wentworth Gardens development in Cheshire.

The scheme, which is available on apartments for first time buyers and key workers, means purchasers pay just 75 per cent of the purchase price of their property, with no deposit required.

Sales director for David Wilson Homes North West, Shohreh Bowler, said: “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, which is why we have launched the Easy Start scheme.

“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.”

The new scheme is simple; purchasers take out a mortgage for only 75 per cent of the value of their home, while David Wilson Homes provides an interest free loan to cover the other 25 per cent.

The deferred amount is then paid back as 25 per cent of the property’s open market value, either within 10 years of purchase or at the time of re-sale if this is earlier than 10 years.

In addition, purchasers who take advantage of the Easy Start scheme will also benefit from a host of other incentives from David Wilson Homes including payment of stamp duty, legal fees up to £1,000 and providing complementary kitchen appliances and carpets throughout the home.

Shohreh continues: “Our aim was to simplify the home buying process by providing an incentive scheme and a fantastic interior package which will help to ease the financial strain and make moving into a new home as stress free as possible.”

The apartments across both developments are perfect for first time buyers, each packed with little design details including open plan living areas, plenty of storage space and allocated parking, which genuinely make a big difference to people’s lives.

Both the one and two bedroom apartments also offer prospective purchasers a spacious and flexible design, ideal people looking to either live alone or share with a friend or partner.
