Star-buy makes Fife a flyer

If you’ve been waiting on the right time to make your move, then perhaps Taylor Wimpey’s star-buy plot at Burnside in Kinglassie in Fife, will tempt you to make that move now.

Taylor Wimpey’s Burnside development, off Lochty Road in Kinglassie, Fife offers a choice of three and four bedroom homes from just £109,650* for star-buy plot 42 – the three bedroom semi detached Almond.

As one of the most popular styles within the Taylor Wimpey range, the Almond is a practical three bedroom home that is the perfect choice for buyers looking for that first-step onto the property ladder, or for families looking for more space to call home. Originally priced from £129,000, plot 42 is now available for an amazing £109,650 - as part of the company’s shared equity scheme.

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 now.

“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.

“Our star-buy plot at Burnside in Kinglassie is just an introduction to the fabulous range of two, three, four and five bedroom homes that are available in this quiet Fife village that’s just a short drive from Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes. It’s well worth a visit to see just how much more Fife can offer for your budget compared to locations in and around Edinburgh particularly if you’re looking for a family home.”

Burnside in Kinglassie is open Thursday to Monday from 10.00am until 5.30pm.
