Move in to a new home for just £99 at George Wimpey

George Wimpey North Midlands has launched a brand new scheme to help homebuyers step straight onto the housing ladder at its exclusive Leacroft development near Birmingham – in exchange for just £99.

Throughout February customers reserving a one or two-bedroom apartment or a three-bedroom home will be able to ‘Move in for £99’.*

The scheme relieves first-time buyers of all the daunting costs associated with buying a home and means customers will pay nothing more than a £99 reservation charge until the day they move in.

Leading housebuilder George Wimpey covers the cost of the deposit, stamp duty and legal costs – saving the customer thousands of pounds.

Speaking at the launch of the incentive, Pam Bourne, Sales & Marketing Director, George Wimpey North Midlands, said: “Many young people across the Birmingham area are struggling to get on the housing ladder, but this scheme takes away the large initial financial outlay usually involved in moving, leaving first-time buyers free to focus on their monthly mortgage payments.

“What this scheme brings is an opportunity for people in this situation to benefit from having the burden of these costs taken away from them in order that they can properly prepare for their mortgage and general household bills”

The incentive is available to all George Wimpey customers at developments across the North Midlands region. To find out more, visit georgewimpey.co.uk.

Ideally situated between Alvechurch and King’s Norton and just five miles Birmingham city centre, Leacroft comprises a selection of beautifully designed Swiss chalet style properties.

The ‘Chestnut’ apartment, for example, is characterised by a spacious lounge/dining room adjoining a kitchen, thoughtfully designed to maximise the proportions of this contemporary living space.

A separate entrance hallway leads to two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property also benefits from built-in storage closets.

In common with all new homes at Leacroft, the apartment enjoys a high standard specification including gas central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and cooker hood.

Customers can currently choose from a range of one and two-bedroom apartments priced from £117,500, and the three-bedroom ‘Winston’ priced from £199,995.

As an alternative to the current offer, George Wimpey has a range of deals tailor-made for all types of buyers, and for those with a property to sell, the leading housebuilder’s easymover programme offers a range of attractive incentives on selected properties.
