A helping hand from Taylor Wimpey
If you’re keen to be on the move to a new home but need a helping hand, then take a trip to Taylor Wimpey at The Inches in Burntisland, Balbirnie Green in Glenrothes, or Burnside in Kinglassie, where you can choose from two of the company’s most successful customer incentive schemes to get you on the move.
Buyers to The Inches in the coastal location of Burntisland or Burnside in the rural village of Kinglassie can take advantage of the company’s popular Shared Equity scheme, a great opportunity for first-time buyers to consider making their move onto the property ladder.
This initiative is only available on selected plots at limited times throughout the year, and offers buyers the chance to secure their new dream home for only 85%* of the purchase price. However, homeowners have the reassurance that they own 100% of their property from day one but as they’ll already have paid a 5% deposit, they only need to find a mortgage on 80% of the value. The other 15% is provided rent and interest free by Taylor Wimpey for up to ten years, at which point purchasers repay 15% of their home’s current market value. The scheme is flexible, allowing purchasers to repay the outstanding amount early or even make smaller one-off payments up to three times during the ten year period.
As an alternative for buyers who have a current property to sell, Taylor Wimpey is offering a helping hand through its ‘Part Exchange*’ scheme that’s now available on selected plots any of the three featured developments – The Inches in Burntisland, Balbirnie Green in Glenrothes as well as Burnside in Kinglassie.
This is an extremely helpful scheme for buyers who are finding the process of selling their current home a daunting task, because it allows them to buy their new property and sell their old home at the same time!
Part exchanging an existing property for a brand new home gives buyers the opportunity to consider moving to a new home, without any of the stress and uncertainty that’s normally associated with house buying. This means a visit to any of our three featured Fife developments could be your key to a smooth and speedy house move in 2010 as Karen Armstrong, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland adds:
“With part exchange advice, appointments with Independent Financial Advisors on request and free valuations, Taylor Wimpey’s Part Exchange scheme means buyers really have nothing to worry about. We ensure that all the hard work is done for you, plus part exchange is a great way to make moving to a new home not only faster, but stress-free.”
Under the scheme, Taylor Wimpey will buy your current home at an agreed price so you have no estate agents fees and no hassle, leaving you with more money to spend on treats for your new home.
However, Taylor Wimpey is committed to offering incentives that can be tailored to individual buyers’ circumstances as Karen continues: “Whilst part exchange could be the solution for some buyers, others need help in different ways to allow them to realise their dream of moving to a new home. This is why we’ve introduced our Shared Equity scheme on selected plots at both The Inches in Burntisland and Burnside in Kinglassie, and perfect for first-time buyers looking for that all-important first move.
“We recognise that buying a home can be a financially daunting prospect for many, and especially first time round, and we want to ensure that first time buyers explore all their options before they make a decision. We have already helped hundreds to get on to the property ladder, and the availability of our Shared Equity scheme at these developments offers an excellent chance to get buyers on the move.
“There’s no need to continue paying someone else’s mortgage or living with your parents when you could snap up a brand new home of your own for less using our Shared Equity scheme. This fantastic initiative offers a genuine step up for those wanting to get onto the property ladder and is ideal for anyone struggling to save a large deposit.
“However, these plots won’t be around for long so we’d encourage interested buyers to pop along to any of the featured developments to see just how helpful we can be.”
For more information visit the showhomes at any of these developments which are open Thursday to Monday from 10.00am to 5.30pm.
* Part exchange and shared equity are available on selected plots. Terms and conditions apply.
