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 living in Oxfordshire, help is at hand in the form of the David Wilson Homes Southerns MyChoice HomeBuy scheme.

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 struggle to raise a deposit.

Sales director for David Wilson Homes Southern, Lynne Morgan, 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.

"Any first time buyers in Oxfordshire who want to take advantage of the scheme should visit our collection of stunning apartments at Centrum2 and Meadowfields in Carterton now."

Centrum2 and Meadowfields are part of David Wilson Homes' Shilton Park development and are ideal for all first time buyers and young professionals looking for an affordable home in a great location. The development has been thoughtfully designed and constructed over the last ten years to create a brand new community on the outskirts of Carterton which boasts a distinct identity of its own. The unique village infrastructure includes a doctor's surgery, sports pavilion and pitches, leisure centre, primary school, shops, community centre and public open space, creating the ideal location for residents to come together.

Shilton Park is conveniently situated just a 20 minute walk away from the centre of Carterton, and within just six miles of Witney, allowing residents easy access to a wide range of facilities such as supermarkets, restaurants and shops. Ideally located, the development benefits from direct bus routes to Swindon, and close proximity to excellent rail links from Swindon and Oxford stations, which includes direct lines to London.
