HomeBuy Direct deals for fast movers in Wem
First-time buyers keen to make 2010 the year they stop spending money on rent to invest in a place of their own can now own a brand new property at Taylor Wimpey’s Earls Meadow development in Wem, Shropshire, from only £58,285*.
This great opportunity to leap onto the property ladder for less sees the leading house-builder team up with Government HomeBuy agent Orbit First Step – but with this offer only available on selected homes now on sale at the development, potential purchasers are urged to hurry before they sell out.
Using the Government’s HomeBuy Direct scheme, qualifying customers with a combined household income of less than £60,000 can get on the first rung of the property ladder by reducing their mortgage by up to 30%, but they still own 100% of the property. The Government’s contribution is interest-free for five years and then capped at a low interest rate for 25 years.
By visiting the development, would-be homeowners can also receive free independent financial advice to help them find the right mortgage.
Among the new homes available using the HomeBuy Direct at Earls Meadow is the delightful ‘Elm’ apartment, which boasts all the benefits of practical design combined with the essentials for modern living.
Entered via a private entrance hallway with handy storage cupboard, the living space comprises a large living/dining area with semi-open plan kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in storage, a bathroom and two further storage closets off the inner hall.
The ‘Elm’ is available for as little as £58,285* using HomeBuy Direct, while two-bedroom houses are also available under the scheme from only £82,565*.
All new homes at Earls Meadow include at least one allocated parking space or a garage, and are finished to a high standard specification including double glazing, central heating and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Daniel McGowan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “The HomeBuy Direct scheme is ideal for those keen to own their own place instead of paying rent or living with parents, but who have been concerned they wouldn’t be able to easily secure a mortgage.
“We are offering this scheme on selected homes at Earls Meadow – and with numbers limited, first-time buyers and key workers should act fast to secure their place.”
Orbit First Step HomeBuy Agency Team Manager, Karen Coleman, says: “HomeBuy Direct can help you if you have a household income of less than £60,000 and you want to buy a home directly from a property developer.
“It is a great new product that offers homebuyers flexibility and choice and we are witnessing a lot of interest from those interested in buying their own home."
Earls Meadow is a superb mixed development on the outskirts of the lovely market town of Wem, bordering scenic open countryside.
Close at hand are the larger towns of Shrewsbury and Telford, which provide ample opportunities for shopping, leisure and eating out, while the bustling metropolitan centre of Birmingham and the outstanding natural beauty of Snowdonia national park are both within easy reach.
