Affordable first homes in Clapton

A final pair of apartments is available for only 85% of the full price at Taylor Wimpey’s Altius development of new homes in Clapton.
First-time buyers are being urged to grab a fantastic opportunity to own a brand new apartment now at Altius, Taylor Wimpey’s stunning development of flats in Clapton, East London, for just 85% of the price!
The leading housebuilder’s amazing Easystart initiative is available for first-time buyers on the last two remaining one-bedroom apartments within this fast-selling collection of East London flats – and with prices starting from only £174,995, that means paying as little as £148,746*!
Under this incredible scheme, all the purchaser has to do is find a deposit for as little as 5%** – just £8,750 – and Taylor Wimpey will help arrange a mortgage covering 80% of the price of the property for sale in Clapton.
The housebuilder will then provide the remaining 15% equity in the form of an interest-free loan to boost the down-payment on the property, and which can be repaid in up to three instalments over a 10-year period.
Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our fabulous Easystart initiative can make owning a home a reality for buyers who would otherwise struggle to raise enough money for a deposit to purchase flats for sale in Clapton.
“The purchaser owns 100% of the property from day one and is free to make payments during the 10-year period to suit their individual circumstances in up to three instalments.
“This simple and effective scheme is bound to attract a lot of interest, so anyone hoping to secure one of the last two remaining one-bedroom apartments using Easystart at Altius is advised to contact us without delay.”
The final one-bedroom apartments to purchase, Plot 549, on the second floor, and Plot 554, on the third, each benefit from a light and airy open-plan living/dining room leading to the contemporary kitchen, plus a master bedroom, a separate bathroom and a handy storage closet off the entrance hallway.
All the new homes at Altius are completed to the same high standard specification, including central heating, double-glazing, and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Enjoying a convenient London location, Altius is superbly placed for many road and rail links. Clapton train station is only a short walk from the development and offers services into Liverpool Street (under 15 minutes), while Homerton Station, to the south of Altius, is on the Silverlink Metro line from Richmond through to North Woolwich. The A10, A12, A13 and M25 are all within easy reach and London City Airport is only nine miles away.
As well as having access to a good selection of local shops including Kingsland Shopping Centre just two miles away in Dalston, Altius is also within easy reach of all Central London’s top shops and attractions – and is located within walking distance of the Olympic Park.
Clapton itself is a vibrant community with a strong sense of neighbourhood and has already started to feel the benefits of the Hackney Development Plan. The landscape of East London is being spectacularly transformed by preparations for the London 2012 Olympics and this makes it the perfect time to invest in the area.
