A home of your own in Hackney

First-time buyers are being given a great opportunity to make this the year they stop spending money on rent and invest in a brand new home of their own.

By choosing a one, two or three-bedroom apartment from only £199,950 at Taylor Wimpey’s Amhurst Corner development in Hackney, customers can receive help finding their feet in the property market, in addition to assistance with their deposit and legal fees.

Tony Woodman, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Unlike many purchases from the second-hand property market, we can offer a flexible range of incentives to help our customers, and guide them through the purchase of their first home.

“With great-value property prices and attractive mortgage rates, our customers can now own a brand new apartment, while to rent a similar-sized home in Hackney would cost significantly more a month and leave the tenant nothing to show for it this time next year."

Just one of the new homes first-time buyers can currently choose at Amhurst Corner is a one-bedroom apartment, from just £199,950, which benefits from a light and airy lounge/dining room and open-plan kitchen, a good-sized bedroom and a bathroom off the entrance hallway.

A two-bedroom apartment with en-suite master bedroom, in addition to a main bathroom is available from £284,950, while a magnificent three-bedroom design is priced from just £310,000.

Each home benefits from central heating, a fitted kitchen with fridge/freezer and integrated oven, hob and hood, plus white downlighters to selected rooms, heated towel rails to bathrooms and en-suites and traditional painted timber framed windows.

Selected lower ground-floor plots enjoy an outside patio area, while a limited number of upper floor apartments feature balconies.

Amhurst Corner is an exclusive collection of just 45 apartments boasting cutting-edge exterior design which blends facing brickwork, timber weatherboarding and zinc finishing touches.

All homes at Amhurst Corner also enjoy eco-friendly and energy-saving features, including a central boiler room providing hot water for the entire building. Parking spaces are available at the development, and can be purchased on a first-come, first-served basis.

Amhurst Corner has excellent commuter links, with Hackney Central and Dalston Kingsland rail stations just a short distance away for connections to King’s Cross and Liverpool Street in less than 20 minutes, and the A10 for central London and Cambridge only half a mile from the development.

At the heart of the capital’s ongoing urban regeneration programme for the London Olympics, Hackney offers all the benefits of vibrant London ‘village’ living, with a host of high street and independent shops, fashionable boutiques, pubs, cafés and restaurants all within easy reach of home.

Only a stone’s throw away is the artistic hub of Hoxton, with its galleries, bars and clubs, while for entertainment lovers, the famous Hackney Empire is also close by.

The Amhurst Corner Sales Centre and showhome are located at the junction of Amhurst Road and Shacklewell Lane, Hackney, and are open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5.30pm, and Monday from 10am to 2pm.
