First-time buyers can find out everything they need to know about stepping on to the property ladder – during a special event taking place at Taylor Wimpey’s stunning St George’s Quarter apartment development in Tooting.

From 11am to 6pm on Saturday 6th February, estate agents, solicitors and financial advisors will be available to answer all aspiring homeowners’ questions about purchasing their first property during the leading housebuilder’s Ask The Experts day.

As well as picking up valuable tips about the best mortgage deals and how to make their finances stretch further, visitors can also discover more about the fantastic range of money-saving incentives now available on selected plots at St George’s Quarter.

Marie-Claire Travis, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Many people have concerns about purchasing a home of their own, particularly about whether or not they can afford to buy or if they will be able to get a mortgage.

“By ‘Asking the Experts’, would-be first-time buyers can receive clear-cut answers to any questions they might have to help them make informed decisions – as well as find out more about the great-value homes at St George’s Quarter.”

A superb selection of two-bedroom apartments is available at this sought-after development, including Plot 24, which is now on sale at the 'Change Your Life' price of just £259,995 – an amazing £10,000 saving on the full price of £269,995.

Each St George’s Quarter apartment benefits from a spacious living/dining room and contemporary open-plan kitchen, while the private entrance hallway also leads to two good-sized bedrooms and a main bathroom.

Selected plots enjoy en-suite facilities to the master bedroom and some apartments also boast private balconies or roof terraces.

And to make choosing a home at the development even easier for first-time buyers, Taylor Wimpey offers tempting incentives on selected plots including paying their 3% stamp duty – an offer worth around £8,000 – or fitting beautiful carpets and stylish flooring as part of the purchase price.

Incentives can be tailored to customers’ individual circumstances and are subject to availability. Further information is available from the Sales Executive.

Those reserving their apartment early can also choose to add detail and value to their home before they move in, by choosing extras from Taylor 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 Underground station, putting Central London via the Northern Line and the West End only 20 minutes away.

The popular town of Clapham is 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.

First-time buyers can have their questions answered during Ask The Experts day, taking place at the St George’s Quarter Sales Centre at 120-132 Tooting High Street between 11am and 6pm on Saturday 6th February.

The development is also open Friday to Monday from 11am to 6pm and Thursdays from 1pm to 8pm.
