Seize the moment at Axis in Lewisham
Leading housebuilder Taylor Wimpey is encouraging first-time buyers to take advantage of highly favourable market conditions to choose a brand new apartment at its stunning Axis development in Lewisham today.
Successive months of property value increases provide clear evidence that confidence is returning to the market, and yet the typical home in the London Borough of Lewisham remains more than £30,000 cheaper than two years ago*.
With great-value mortgages now more widely available and Axis apartments on sale from as little as £127,495 – with just a 5% deposit required – the time is right for would-be buyers to make their move.
Marie-Claire Travis, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Now is the ideal opportunity for aspiring first-time buyers to stop lining their landlord’s pockets and step on to the property ladder in style.
“All the evidence indicates that the lull in the property market is well and truly behind us, and all Axis apartments currently on sale are now free from stamp duty following the Government’s announcement to make homes below £250,000 exempt from the tax.
“This all adds up to make conditions just right for purchasers – so seize the moment and take advantage of the incredible value prices now on offer at Axis!”
Selected studio apartments priced from £149,995 at Axis are now available for only 85% of the full price tag – just £127,495 – thanks to Taylor Wimpey’s Easy Start Shared Equity scheme.
Under this fantastic initiative, qualifying buyers need only raise a 5% deposit – about £7,500 – and the leading housebuilder will provide 15% equity in the form of an interest-free loan, repayable in up to three instalments over a 10-year period.
Alternatively, stylish one-bedroom apartments with spacious lounge/dining room and open-plan kitchen, a good-sized double bedroom and a bathroom off the private entrance hallway are available from only £174,995, while superb two-bedroom designs are priced from just £199,995. Selected two-bedroom plots benefit from en-suite master bedrooms and all apartments will enjoy access to a communal roof garden.
Customers who reserve a new home at Axis now can also add their own interior finishing touches by choosing from a wide range of stylish Options, including carpets, flooring, tiles, lighting and kitchen worktops, units and appliances – all of which will be expertly fitted before the keys to the new home are handed over.
Conveniently located in the heart of the London Borough of Lewisham, Axis enjoys easy access to an excellent indoor shopping centre and a bustling pedestrianised high street where an open-air market is held seven days a week.
The borough’s lively cultural scene includes The Broadway Theatre and Studio, countless restaurants, cafés and bars close at hand, plus a choice of sports and leisure facilities including gyms, swimming pools, dance studios, sports fields and Green Flag parks.
Major regeneration projects are also under way to create new shops, offices, entertainment venues, transport links and road layouts, making Lewisham a ‘metropolitan centre’ within London – and a very promising opportunity for property investors and homebuyers of all kinds.
Lewisham station is just a short walk from Axis, with journey times of just 10 minutes to London Bridge or Victoria, while the Docklands Light Railway has its southern terminus in Lewisham. The London Underground is also easily accessible at nearby New Cross.
