Give family and friends 'The Edge' they need

With just four brand new apartments remaining for sale at The Edge, Taylor Wimpey is urging keen first-time buyers to secure their place at its stylish development in Edgware – with a little help from their family or friends.
Selected one and two-bedroom apartments in the final collection now on sale are available with the fantastic new Family and Friends Advantage scheme*.
This incredible incentive offers those who can help someone raise a deposit up to 20% of the purchase price a generous 5% return on their investment every year for five years.
For example, an £18,295 (10%) deposit on a one-bedroom apartment, priced £182,950, would guarantee a return of £914.75 each year and a total of £4573.75 over the five-year period – that’s a quarter of the overall investment amount!
Tony Woodman, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey North Thames, says: “Many first-time buyers are receiving help in finding the deposit needed to step onto the property ladder, whether from parents, grandparents or others who are close to them.
“Family and Friends Advantage is an innovative scheme which offers these generous people a financial reward, which can work out better than having the money sitting in the bank.
“But, because the scheme is only available on a limited selection of one-bedroom apartments, we’re urging people to come along to The Edge now, to make sure they don’t miss out!”
A range of lenders is supporting the new Family and Friends Advantage scheme, and Halifax is offering an exclusive range of fixed and tracker mortgages with a loan to value of 80% for Taylor Wimpey customers using the incentive. This comes with an added financial benefit of refunding the valuation fee direct to the purchaser.
Plot 174, priced at just £182,950, is just one of the homes remaining for sale at The Edge – a gorgeous ground floor, one-bedroom apartment comprising 479 sq ft of accommodation and featuring a spacious living room with open-plan kitchen, a good-sized bedroom, and a bathroom off the private entrance hallway.
The apartment also comes with stylish fitted kitchen units and worktops, including integrated oven, gas hob and hood, an allocated parking space, and the opportunity to choose from Taylor Wimpey’s stylish Options range, including additional appliances, flooring, and lighting.
Two-bedroom apartments, priced from only £227,500, offer more than 500 sq ft of living accommodation – but those with their eye on a home at The Edge must hurry because this popular development will soon sell out!
Edgware is a vibrant and stylish location for couples and individuals of all ages, surrounded by trendy cafes, bars and restaurants, boutiques, art and bookshops and an array of sports and fitness facilities. In addition to the Broadwalk Shopping Centre, the department stores of Brent Cross are just three miles away.
For commuters, frequent bus services connect homes with Edgware tube and bus stations, a mile away, while the A5 provides a direct route to Marble Arch.
