David Wilson Homes lends a helping hand

For many first time buyers the dream of owning their own home can often seem just out of reach. But for househunters in Leeds, help is at hand in the form of David Wilson Homes Northern's MyChoice HomeBuy scheme, available at its Southwood New Forest Village just five miles south of the city centre.

Introduced in this year's Budget, the MyChoice HomeBuy scheme is a new government-led initiative specifically designed to help first time buyers step onto the property ladder by offering them a contribution of up to 50 per cent towards the purchase of their first home. The contribution is in the form of an equity loan and provides an affordable solution for all those young professionals and families with a household income of between £20,000 and £60,000, who are looking to purchase their own property but are struggling to raise a deposit.

Sales director for David Wilson Homes Northern, Steve Jackson, explains: "At David Wilson Homes we appreciate that for many the dream of owning their own home may seem an unobtainable one. However, the MyChoice HomeBuy scheme has been designed to give those looking to purchase their first home a helping hand onto the property ladder. The new scheme is easy. Those who qualify simply take out a regular mortgage and then top it up with an equity share loan provided by the MyChoice HomeBuy government scheme."

Available on homes up to £200,000, Southwood New Forest Village offers prospective purchasers thoughtfully designed, affordable homes, ideal for any first time buyers. Stunning two bedroom apartments are currently available on the scheme, starting at £124,999.
