New homes in Bedford ideal for first-time buyers

Taylor Wimpey’s Easy Start shared equity scheme is now available on selected homes at its Westlow Abbey development of houses for sale in Bedfordshire.

First-time buyers are being urged to grab an unmissable opportunity to step on to the property ladder for less – by securing a delightful ‘Brenig’ home at Taylor Wimpey’s Westlow Abbey development of new houses and flats in Bedfordshire for just 85% of the purchase price!

Selected two-bedroom ‘Brenig’ coach house-style apartments are now available from as little as £123,250* thanks to the leading housebuilder’s amazing Easy Start shared equity scheme at this sought-after development of property for sale in Wixams, Bedfordshire.

Under this incredible incentive, all the purchaser has to do is find a deposit as low as 5% – that’s only £6,163 – and Taylor Wimpey will put them in touch with an independent financial advisor to help arrange a mortgage covering 80% of the full £145,000 price tag of the selected ‘Brenig’ flats for sale in Bedfordshire.

The remaining 15% equity is provided as an interest-free loan from the housebuilder, which is repayable in up to three instalments over a 10-year period.

Steve Rolt, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our fabulous Easy Start incentive is a simple and effective way to make home ownership a reality for would-be first-time buyers, and it’s an opportunity that’s not to be missed at Westlow Abbey.

“Anyone interested in taking advantage of this great-value scheme to secure one of the popular ‘Brenig’ coach house apartments for sale in Bedfordshire should contact us today to avoid missing out!”

Ideal for individuals, couples or young families, the stylish ‘Brenig’ boasts a private front door and entrance hallway leading upstairs to a spacious lounge/dining room and open-plan kitchen, plus two good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom.

Each apartment also benefits from at least one allocated parking space outside and flooring and carpets are included with the great value price, while selected plots enjoy en-suite facilities to master bedrooms.

Like all new homes at Westlow Abbey, the ‘Brenig’ is completed to a high standard specification, including central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

As alternatives to the homes available under the Easy Start scheme, the development offers a further selection of high-quality properties, with four-bedroom houses priced from only £289,995 and five-bedroom houses from just £325,000.

Taylor Wimpey offers a range of incentives for purchasers with a property of their own to sell, including the amazing easymover scheme, through which the housebuilder finds a buyer for their current home in just a few weeks – and can even cover the cost of estate agents’ fees and removals.

Westlow Abbey is part of Lakeview, the first of four villages which will make up the self-contained, sustainable town of Wixams, three miles south-west of Bedford.

Designs for the new community draw on the best traditions of Bedfordshire’s market towns and homes will benefit from new shops, community and leisure facilities, schools and employment areas, in addition to 300 acres of sports pitches, parklands and green open space.

Each of the four villages will have its own centre, play and landscaped areas, and each will be within easy reach of Wixams town centre.

A new transport network puts bus stops within comfortable walking distance of the homes, a new railway station will provide quick links to London and nearby towns and cities, and an extensive network of cycleways and paths will make getting around a breeze.

Beyond the town boundaries, the re-aligned A6 and the A421 Bedford southern bypass put the region’s major commuter routes, including the M1 and A1, within easy reach, while those travelling further afield will appreciate that Luton Airport is just 15 miles away.

For days out, Wixams lies amid beautiful countryside and close to a wide range of established visitor attractions, including Woburn Safari Park and Wild Britain, Gulliver’s Land theme park and the Millennium Country Park in the Forest of Marston Vale.

To be in with a chance of securing an Easy Start home at Westlow Abbey, visit the Sales Centre, located off Bedford Road, Wixams, MK45 3HS, and open seven days a week from 10am to 5pm Tuesday to Sunday, and from 1.30pm to 5pm on Monday.

* Based on 85% of the full purchase price. Easy Start is subject to availability and full details, including terms and conditions, are available from the Sales Executive.
