First time buyer heaven in Merthyr Tydfil

With property prices at their most attractive for years and interest rates at historic lows, now is the right time for first time buyers to get onto the property ladder. And, at George Wimpey’s Cae Penderyn development in Merthyr Tydfil, first time buyers can choose from two different house styles from just £99,995.

First time buyers wanting the low maintenance of an apartment should consider the Snowden coach house at Cae Penderyn. Priced from just £99,995, the two bedroom Snowden is a stand alone apartment-style property built over a garage, providing secure parking.

The well-planned interior benefits from a contemporary design, maximising the available living space. It briefly comprises a contemporary open plan reception room with integrated kitchen, two generously sized double bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The Snowden also boasts additional features such as extended kitchen worktops, allowing plenty of room for a breakfast bar, and a spacious landing which could be used as a study area for those wanting to work from home.

In contrast, the Deddington is a traditional two bedroom house comprising a generous lounge-diner with patio doors leading out into the garden, fully-fitted kitchen with plenty of storage, two double bedrooms and a well-equipped family bathroom. Priced from just £107,000, this home has proven so popular with first time buyers in Merthyr Tydfil that George Wimpey has recently unveiled plans to build an additional 12 Deddingtons, to meet demand. Four are available to buy off plan now while interested buyers can register their interest in the remaining eight, which will be released early next year.

Sara Taylor, regional sales and marketing director, comments: “Getting on to the property ladder is one of the biggest investments you are ever likely to make, which is why prospective purchasers should visit our marketing suite to find out how we can help get them moving. Our team of professional sales consultants can also advise visitors on the range of properties and first time buyer incentives on offer at the development, such as our ‘Deposit Match’* scheme.”

With Deposit Match, George Wimpey will match the deposit put down by buyers, up to 10% of the property’s value, providing access to a wider range of mortgages, better rates and reduced monthly payments. The additional funds come in the form of an interest-free loan over 10 years and homeowners have the reassurance that they own 100% of their property from day one but there is no rent or interest to pay during the loan period.

Cae Penderyn also offers three, four and five bedroom homes and benefits from a peaceful location, nestled in the north of the Taff Valley between the Brecon Beacons National Park and Cardiff.
