An easy start for key workers in Widnes

David Wilson Homes has put affordability at the top of its agenda in 2008 by launching its Easy Start scheme at its Wentworth Gardens development in Widnes, Cheshire.

The scheme is available for first time buyers and key workers and means purchasers pay just 75 percent of the purchase price of their property, with no deposit required, for example, taking the price of the two bedroom Farnworth apartment from £139,950 to £104,962.

Sales director for David Wilson Homes’ North West, Shohreh Bowler, explains: “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, making things easier for prospective purchasers by 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 ten years of purchase or at the time of re-sale if this is earlier than ten years.

Shohreh continues: “Our aim is to simplify the home buying process as much as possible by providing buyers quite literally with an ‘easy start’ which will help to ease the financial strain and make moving into a new home as stress free as possible.”

The two bedroom Farnworthapartment is a shining example of the fantastic homes available at Wentworth Gardens with David Wilson Homes Easy Start scheme.

Perfect for first time buyers, each apartment is packed with clever design details including open plan living areas, plenty of storage space and allocated parking, which allow for spacious and clutter free living, ideal for people looking to either live alone or share with a friend or partner.

The development also boasts a brand new three bedroom Kendal showhome, enabling prospective purchasers to visualise family living at Wentworth Gardens with ease.

The stunningly finished three storey Kendal home demonstrates thoughtfully-designed, flexible living at its best.

On the ground floor, home-buyers will find a double bedroom with ensuite facility, which could easily be converted into a private area for independence-hungry teenagers, elderly dependents or visiting family members. This floor also features a study which can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom, play room, home office or den depending on individual family needs.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts a spacious open-plan living room and dining room, separated by an alcove - ideal for entertaining friends and family plus a large kitchen / family room also designed to encourage the family to come together.

Finally, up on the second floor, prospective purchasers will find two generously sized bedrooms, with the master bedroom boasting a spacious ensuite, whilst a separate family bathroom means that there is plenty of space for all the family’s grooming routines.

Wentworth Gardens is ideally located for first-time buyers and young professionals, with excellent commuter links to Liverpool via the M62 and with John Lennon airport just a short drive away.

The development also boasts a good range of amenities within walking distance including a selection of schools and a great range of restaurants, bars and high street shops in Widnes town centre.
