3 bed homes in Corby for just £90,297

House-hunters keen to take advantage of lower property prices before the market picks up could now qualify to buy a brand new home for even less at George Wimpey’s Poppyfields development in Corby.

The Government’s HomeBuy Direct initiative is currently available on selected homes for sale at the popular location, making a choice of brand new three-bedroom and four-bedroom houses available with a mortgage for just 70% of the full value.

It means that quick-off-the-mark qualifying customers can move to a stunning three-bedroom ‘Heather’ housetype for only £90,297* - an incredible incentive to couples and young families taking their first step onto the property ladder.

HomeBuy Direct allows customers with a household income of £60,000 or less to receive an equity loan covering up to 30% of the value of their property.

Kelly French, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey East Midlands, says: “Our homes are already available at affordable prices, but we also understand that some buyers need assistance – particularly first-time buyers who are being asked to raise substantial deposits to secure a mortgage.

“HomeBuy Direct means those who qualify for a mortgage of just over £90,000 can buy a brand new three-bedroom home at Poppyfields, which for first-time buyers means getting an all-important foot on the property ladder at a time when prices are expected to steadily rise.”

The ‘Heather’ housetype is a brilliant choice for a wide range of buyers and features a good-sized combined lounge/dining room with French doors to the rear garden, a thoughtfully designed kitchen, and a guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the landing leads to the master bedroom with a handy en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a main bathroom. Outside there is a single garage.

Like all new homes at the development, the ‘Heather’ enjoys a high standard specification including central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen complete with integrated oven, hob and hood.

Customers can also choose the three-bedroom, three-storey ‘Davenport’, which boasts a magnificent master suite occupying the entire top floor, the four-bedroom ‘Saxby’ featuring a separate dining room and a large lounge, and the exceptionally spacious ‘Harlington’ with a kitchen/breakfast room, a dining room, a study, and en-suites to two of its four bedrooms.

Pre-HomeBuy Direct prices at Poppyfields range from £128,995 to £179,995, and a range of alternative homebuyer incentives are available to first-time buyers and those with a home to sell.

For example, George Wimpey’s Easymover programme provides a range of special incentives on selected properties for first-time buyers including assistance with deposit and legal fees, while customers with a house to sell can reserve their new home and then sit back and relax while the housebuilder finds a buyer for their current property – guaranteeing 100% of the market value – and pays their estate agents’ fees.

Customers can also take advantage of the leading housebuilder’s House 2 Home bespoke moving package comprising free UK removal regardless of distance or size of property, full packing and unpacking service and insurance cover.

Poppyfields is located just over a mile from Corby town centre, home to a wide choice of shops, leisure amenities and schools catering for children of all ages.

For commuters, the development is a short drive from the A14, providing easy links to the M6 and M1, and regular services operate from Corby rail station to the main line at Kettering, putting London just an hour away by train.

Over the next few years, up-and-coming Corby is to undergo a visionary transformation, including a new £60 million town centre with new shopping, leisure and cultural facilities, new schools and colleges and thousands of new jobs.
