Star-plots get buyers moving in Stirling

If you’ve been waiting on the right time to make your move, then perhaps one of Taylor Wimpey’s star-buy plots at either of its’ developments in Stirling - Kingsacre in Torbrex, or Stirling Bridge, off Raploch Road, will tempt you to make that move now.

First-time buyers will be impressed by the two bedroom Grove apartment at Stirling Bridge. Originally priced from £104,500, plot 110 is now available for an amazing £88,825 as part of the company’s shared equity scheme – an attractive option as a first step onto the property ladder.

Alternatively, for buyers looking for something a little bigger, the practical two bedroom semi detached Brodick (plot 48) at Kingsacre in the Torbrex area of Stirling is now available for only £115,600 for buyers taking advantage of the shared equity scheme, and offers the perfect solution for young families looking to maximise their budget in this quiet family-orientated development not far from the centre of historical Stirling.

Using Taylor Wimpey’s shared equity scheme, 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.

Karen Armstrong, regional sales and marketing director, comments: “We recognise that buying a home can be a financially daunting prospect for many and we want to offer a range of incentives that appeal to a wide range of buyers and respond to the challenges they are facing. Our shared equity scheme offers buyers an opportunity to maximise the budget they have available to make their move.

For some customers this may mean they can afford a larger property than they had first imagined, or perhaps first-time buyers may be able to make their move sooner than they’d expected as selected plots become more affordable and within their price range.

“With such a diverse range of properties available across both of our developments in Stirling, this duo of star-buys is just a spotlight on the few that we have available right now. Visit either Kingsacre or Stirling Bridge in Stirling to find out more.”

Both developments are open Thursday to Monday from 10.00am-5.30pm.
