Value-for-money homes in Thorpe

There are only a handful of properties left at Taylor Wimpey’s Lingwell Grange development in Thorpe, near Leeds. And out of the four homes remaining, three are now available to purchase using the popular HomeBuy direct scheme.

Using HomeBuy Direct, the stunning three bedroom Delamere home is available to buy at just £118,997*, which is perfect for smaller families and young professionals who are looking to start their journey onto the property ladder in a charming affordable house.

The ground floor has a spacious living room that benefits from patio doors which open onto the rear garden, in addition to a contemporary fully fitted kitchen with a breakfast area. The first floor has two large bedrooms and the family bathroom, while the top floor is dedicated solely to the master bedroom with ensuite shower room.

This scheme is aimed to help first time buyers get onto the property ladder and provides buyers with an interest free equity loan for the first five years, for up to 30% of the value of a property. The interest free equity loan is co-funded by the Homes and Communities Agency and Taylor Wimpey and is available to potential purchasers who have an annual household income of less than £60,000, subject to eligibility and affordability checks**.

Taylor Wimpey regional sales and marketing director, Anne Bagshaw, commented: “The scheme is designed to help overcome the hurdles of high mortgage costs and larger deposits, which we know are preventing first time buyers from getting on the property ladder in Thorpe. HomeBuy Direct offers a great way for purchasers to finally afford their dream home.”

Since it opened Lingwell Grange has been a resounding success with buyers on all stages of the property ladder eager to buy a new home in a great location, close to the motorway network with easy access to Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, Sheffield and beyond.

The development has great access to schools and is within a short drive to both the White Rose centre and Lofthouse village, two areas which are reknowned for great shopping. It is also situated close to Rothwell and East Ardsley and offers all the local amenities for day to day living.

For more information on the last few homes remaining at Lingwell Grange and the HomeBuy Direct scheme, visit the marketing suite on Long Thorpe Lane, which is open Thursday to Monday between 11.00am and 5.00pm.
