Flats in Colchester offer excellent value
Taylor Wimpey’s Easystart scheme lets first-time buyers secure selected Colchester flats at Tamarinds for just 85% of the purchase price.
First-time buyers are urged to take a closer look at the incredible deal on offer at Taylor Wimpey’s Tamarinds development of new homes in Colchester, where they could own a brand new two-bedroom apartment for as little as £106,246* – over £34,000 less than the price of a similarly-sized second-hand property in the area**!
The leading housebuilder’s amazing Easy Start initiative gives first-time buyers the chance to secure selected apartments for sale in Colchester for just 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 CO4 postcode 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 £6,250 – and Taylor Wimpey will help arrange a mortgage covering 80% of the price of selected Essex flats at Tamarinds. 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 Tamarinds are already incredibly good value for money – our full purchase prices are between £5,000 and £15,000 lower than comparable second-hand flats for sale in Colchester.
“And with Easy Start, 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 for 85% of the purchase price – and bag the bargain of a life-time as well!”
