Aspiring homeowners struggling to get a foothold on the property ladder are being offered a fantastic opportunity to own a brand new apartment now at Everest Park, Taylor Wimpey’s popular development of houses and flats in Basingstoke – for just 85% of the price!

The remaining 15% is provided by the housebuilder in the form of an interest-free loan which can be repaid in up to three instalments over a 10-year period.

Tim Betts, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our incredible Easy Start scheme can make owning a home a reality for buyers who would otherwise struggle to raise enough money for their first property in Basingstoke.

“This simple and effective initiative always attracts a great deal of interest from would-be homeowners, and with only a limited number of ‘Snowdon House’ apartments available, qualifying purchasers will need to be quick to take advantage.”

Ideal for individuals or couples in search of their first home, the two-bedroom ‘Snowdon House’ apartments currently available with Easy Start each benefit from a light and airy lounge/dining room with open-plan kitchen and French doors leading outside to an attractive private balcony.
