Double your deposit on a new home in Tooting

George Wimpey is offering homebuyers the perfect opportunity to take an easy step up the property ladder – by matching their deposit up to 10% of the purchase price of an apartment at its St George’s Quarter development in Tooting.

The money-saving scheme offers a helping hand to anyone struggling to arrange a mortgage – and is ideal for those hoping to secure their new home quickly, before prices really start to rise.

Marie-Claire Travis, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Because many mortgage lenders now require higher deposits than they have in previous years, first-time buyers are finding they can’t take advantage of the current lower prices to get a foot on the property ladder.

“We are giving our customers in Tooting the opportunity to make a larger initial investment in their new home now through an interest-free 10-year loan, so that they don’t have to save up for months, or even years.

“If they – or their parents – can put down a deposit of up to 10% of the purchase price of a two-bedroom apartment at St George’s Quarter ranging from £257,995 to £264,995, we’ll match that to help them save thousands of pounds now and over the lifetime of their mortgage.”

Just one of the new homes available under the Deposit Match offer is Plot 4, a stunning ground floor garden flat – a rare find among new-build homes and priced only £266,995.

Characterised by a large living/dining room with contemporary open-plan kitchen, the apartment also benefits from two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom and a cloakroom off the private entrance hallway.

Visitors to St George’s Quarter can get a real taste of what life could be like in a brand new George Wimpey apartment, by seeing inside the stunning showhome, now open at the development.

While selected ground floor apartments at St George’s Quarter are garden flats, a handful of first and second floor plots feature attractive balconies, while each new home comes with a fitted kitchen with integrated stainless steel oven, hob and hood.

Those reserving their apartment early can also choose to add detail and value to their home before they move in, by choosing extras from George Wimpey’s Options range, including granite worktops, additional kitchen appliances, floor finishes, downlighters, mirrors and chrome or brushed sockets and switches – all expertly fitted before their completion day.

St George’s Quarter comprises 60 one and two-bedroom apartments, garden flats and studio designs, ideally located against the lively backdrop of Tooting High Street and within a short stroll of a wide range of shops, restaurants and amenities including the popular Broadway Market.

The new homes are also just 350 metres from Tooting Broadway Tube, putting Central London via the Northern Line and the West End only 20 minutes away.

The popular town of Clapham is also within easy reach, providing an excellent array of trendy bars and places to eat, as well as a number of shops and leisure facilities, while the development is also ideally situated for St George’s Hospital.

To find out more, the show apartment and Sales Centre at 120-132 Tooting High Street are open to visitors Thursdays to Mondays from 11am to 6pm. Alternatively, information on George Wimpey South West Thames developments across the region is available by visiting the web site at georgewimpey.co.uk.
