New homes, 4.99% mortgage

House-hunters can enjoy a fantastic 4.99% interest rate fixed for three whole years when they purchase a brand new George Wimpey home at its Marnel Park development in Basingstoke.

The money-saving deal from the leading housebuilder offers customers the opportunity to enjoy lower monthly payments at a time when lending rates are high - and with homes available now from just £131,995 it's an ideal chance for first-time buyers to leap onto the property ladder.

Tim Betts, Regional Sales and Marketing Director, says: "Our 4.99% mortgage rate gives customers the chance to make big monthly savings on a new home at Marnel Park.

"By reducing their outgoings from the day they move, home-buyers can ease financial pressures at a time when they may have just bought their first home, changed career or welcomed a new addition to the family."

Marnel Park comprises a wide range of homes, from one and two-bedroom apartments to three and four-bedroom family-sized homes. A showhome is now open at the development.

The detached, three-bedroom ‘Onyx', priced from £264,995 for example, is a stylish property featuring a large living room with an attractive bay window to the front and French doors to the rear private garden. The wide entrance hallway also leads to a kitchen enjoying a partial open-plan design to a dining room.

Upstairs, the landing leads to a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

In common with all new properties at the development, the ‘Onyx' enjoys a high standard specification including gas central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Ideally located on the northern edge of Basingstoke, Marnel Park offers the best of urban and country living.

The town centre and the impressive Festival Place shopping centre are just 10 minutes from the development by road and blend historical influences with bustling modern shops, cafes, bars and exciting leisure pursuits.

Basingstoke is also home to top notch music venues, a choice of multi-screen cinemas, tennis courts, a leisure park, sports clubs, an ice rink, a swimming pool and bowling alleys. The open countryside is also just a stone's throw away, offering nature trails and opportunities for woodland walks and cycling.

Marnel infant and junior schools are within easy walking distance of the new homes, while commuters will appreciate the M3 is just three miles away, and London Waterloo just 45 minutes by rail.

House-hunters interested in making their move to the development can take advantage of incentives for first time buyers and George Wimpey's ‘easymover' programme, through which customers with a house to sell can reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder helps to find a buyer for their current property.

Incentives can be tailored to homebuyers' circumstances and are subject to availability. Further details are available from the Sales Executive.

Marnel Park Sales Information Centre, located off Carpenters Down, Popley in Basingstoke, is open daily from 10.30am to 5.30pm.
