Mortgage boost for first time buyers in Helston

First time buyers in Helston looking to get a foot on the property ladder can now secure a new house of their own with just a 5% deposit, by combining a helping hand from Taylor Wimpey Exeter with a new mortgage offer announced by Santander (formerly Abbey).

Available only to first time buyers buying a new house, the newly increased maximum loan size from Santander means that househunters can now apply for a 90% mortgage for the first time in two years. With Taylor Wimpey also offering to contribute 5% of the property’s value on selected homes along with stamp duty and legal fees (up to £600)*, this means that purchasers are only required to put down a 5% deposit of their own.

Janine Davey, regional sales and marketing director, comments:”It’s been particularly hard for first time buyers of late to find an affordable mortgage and save up the required deposit. Combining the new mortgage deal from Santander with the incentives currently on offer from Taylor Wimpey will slice thousands of pounds off the savings pot that first time buyers need to get a loan.

“If you’re a first time buyer struggling to get onto the property ladder why not pay us a visit to find out more? Who knows, you may be living in your dream first home sooner than you think.”

First time buyers will find the two bedroom Deddington at Acres Edge makes the perfect starter home. Priced from £159,995, the Deddington features a good sized open plan living / dining room, fully fitted kitchen and useful cloakroom on the ground floor. Two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom occupy the first floor.

Offering something for everyone, Acre’s Edge is an impressive development of two, three and four bedroom homes in Helston. The main Cornish road links are easily accessible from the development and Helston is served by regular bus and train services. There are a number of good schools in the area, making Acres Edge ideal for families.
