No deposit? No problem for first-time buyers in Essex

George Wimpey East London is giving first-time buyers a leg up onto the property ladder - by paying the 5% deposit on apartments at two developments in Gants Hill, Essex. The special money-saving incentive is available on a range of homes at Invito and at Images, and with no worries about finding the cash for a deposit buyers can reserve their new home today.

Just one of the delightful apartment designs available now features a spacious living/dining room with open-plan kitchen, a private interior hallway, a bedroom and a separate bathroom.

Each stylish design is the perfect partner to both the glass architecture of the Images apartment buildings and the bright, contemporary class of Invito.

Prices range from £169,995 for a studio apartment and £219,995 for a one-bedroom apartment at Invito. One bedroom apartments at Images start at £249,995, and two-bedroom designs from £417,995.

As an alternative to the 5% deposit offer, a limited number of apartments at Images are available under the English Partnerships First Time Buyer initiative.

Invito and Images are ideally located in up-and-coming Gants Hill, with many apartments enjoying panoramic, balcony views over city landmarks, including the London Eye, the Gherkin and Canary Wharf.

Vibrant Gants Hill is home to a range of stores, cafes, restaurants and bars, while Ilford, just two miles away, offers an excellent shopping centre. For leisure, Fairlop Waters in nearby Barkingside is an ideal place for a round of golf, wind-surfing, angling, sailing or horse riding.

The developments are also just minutes from Gants Hill Underground Station, and only five stops from Stratford, ensuring purchasers are perfectly placed for Docklands, the City and for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Further information is available by visiting the Invito and Images Sales Centre, located off Perth Road, Gants Hill and open daily between 10am and 6pm.
