Affordable new homes in Dartford
New incentive from Taylor Wimpey and Dartford Borough Council means first-time buyers can secure selected houses and flats in Dartford for 75% of the price at The Bridge.
First-time buyers looking to make a step onto the property ladder are being given a helping hand at Taylor Wimpey’s The Bridge development of property for sale in Dartford, Kent.
Selected one and two-bedroom apartments and three and four-bedroom houses in the second phase of this groundbreaking community development at the heart of the Thames Gateway are being made available through a fantastic shared equity scheme – making it possible for more people to secure Dartford flats or houses without having to save for years.
The Easy Start scheme on offer at The Bridge provides the opportunity for qualifying customers to purchase selected flats or houses for sale in Dartford now for just 75% of the price and with no deposit.
Taylor Wimpey and Dartford Borough Council provide the remaining 25% of the purchase price of selected new builds in Dartford, through a ten-year interest free loan, allowing buyers to own 100% of their new property for 75% of the price.
Mark Pajak, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our shared equity scheme will make it much more affordable for qualifying first-time buyers to make an initial step onto the property ladder.
“The Bridge is proving to be a big hit with new buyers, and we would urge those keen to take advantage of the funding available for the Easy Start scheme to contact us before it runs out.”
The gorgeous one-bedroom first floor apartment at Plot 390, for example, is priced at £108,746 with Easy Start, and features a spacious kitchen/living/dining room, a good-sized bedroom and a main bathroom.
Outside, this attractive new home enjoys access to a communal garden, while like all new homes at The Bridge, it benefits from allocated parking and is completed to a high standard specification with central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Part of the ongoing Thames Gateway regeneration, the development enjoys a peaceful position on the edge of Dartford and offers stunning views across the River Thames to the iconic QEII Bridge.
As well as offering sustainable living in a wide range of homes with unique contemporary architecture and gorgeous interiors, the community also benefits from a primary school which opened in September 2009, a nursery, youth centre, library and meeting rooms – all part of the Learning and Community Campus – plus shops, a hotel and 80 acres of public open space, parks and lakes.
The development is supported by excellent public transport, pedestrian and cycle links including a Fastrack bus service to Dartford, where zone 1 travel is free for residents of The Bridge, Bluewater shopping centre and railway stations at Dartford, Greenhithe, Gravesend and Ebbsfleet.
Ebbsfleet International has now begun frequent, 18-minute services to London St Pancras and is the UK’s fastest route to mainland Europe – just 125 minutes to Paris, 101 minutes to Brussels and 70 minutes to Lille.
The Bridge Sales Centre is located off Brunal Way, Via Bob Dunn Way, Dartford, and open Thursday to Sunday from 10.30am to 5.30pm.
