Bypass the big deposit with Taylor Wimpey's Easystart

The news* that a first time buyer now has to raise around £35,600 to afford a home worth £142,500 is certainly daunting, but not the reality for first time buyers using Taylor Wimpey’s Easystart shared equity scheme, available at its ‘Horizons at An Arvor’ development in Duporth, St Austell.

The introduction of Easystart** makes getting onto the property ladder much more achieveable as house hunters can own 100% of their new home for just 85% of the price - all they need is a 5% deposit. Meaning at ‘Horizons at An Arvor’, you’d only have to find a deposit of £7,500 to buy a two bedroom ground floor apartment, priced at £127,496.

Janine Davey, regional sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey Exeter, said: “It’s no surprise with research quoting high figures such as £35,600 that first time buyers are put off from even thinking about buying a new home, as for many saving that amount is totally unrealistic. That’s why we want to make it clear to first time buyers that there are options available to them that don’t require savings that stretch into the tens of thousands. Easystart provides a realistic route into home ownership and one that doesn’t have to break the bank. If you’re a first time buyer keen to get onto the ladder why not pay us a visit to find out more?"
