Great value first homes in Essex

Taylor Wimpey’s Easystart initiative lets home-hunters secure Carrington Park properties for thousands of pounds less than the average cost of flats in Silver End.

First-time buyers are urged to take a closer look at the incredible deal on offer at Taylor Wimpey’s Carrington Park development of flats for sale in Witham, Essex, where they could own a brand new two-bedroom apartment for as little as £101,996* – around £47,000 less than the price of a second-hand two-bedroom property in the area**!

The leading housebuilder’s amazing Easystart initiative gives first-time buyers the chance to secure selected Essex flats at Carrington Park for 85% of the price – and with full purchase prices at this stunning development already thousands of pounds better value than a typical two-bedroom home in the CM8 area**, this offer is bound to be popular with property seekers.

Under this incredible scheme, all the purchaser has to do is find a deposit for as little as 5%*** – just £6,000 – and Taylor Wimpey will help arrange a mortgage covering 80% of the price of selected Carrington Park flats. 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 two-bedroom apartments at Carrington Park are already incredibly good value for money – our full purchase prices are already between £19,000 and £29,000 lower than comparable second-hand flats for sale in Essex.

“And with Easystart, first-time buyers who might otherwise be unable to raise enough money for a deposit on their first home can secure the home of their dreams – and bag the bargain of a life-time as well!”

Each two-bedroom apartment at Carrington Park has been carefully laid out to maximise the use of natural light and space, and features a contemporary fitted kitchen, a good-sized living/dining room, an en-suite to the master bedroom, a main bathroom and second bedroom located off the private entrance hallway.

All the new homes benefit from at least one allocated parking space set within landscaped grounds, while two of the apartments have private single garages.

Selected plots within the handsome, three-storey ‘Leonora Court’ building boast attractive Juliet balconies to the living areas.

Carrington Park enjoys an excellent location in the semi-rural ‘garden village’ of Silver End.

The village is home to shops catering for everyday needs, a primary school and a children’s nursery centre, a village hall and library, a doctor’s surgery, a pub, a choice of take-away restaurants and a small supermarket.

Schools for older children and a wider choice of shopping outlets can be found in Witham and Braintree, each about five miles away.

For commuters, the A12, the M11 and the M25 are all within easy reach, putting Colchester and London within a comfortable driving distance, while Witham Railway Station runs regular services to London Liverpool Street in less than an hour.
