Taylor Wimpey’s Easy Start shared equity scheme offers would-be homeowners the chance to step on to the property ladder at the leading housebuilder’s Everest Park development of property in Basingstoke.

Leading housebuilder Taylor Wimpey is offering aspiring first-time buyers an amazing opportunity to snap up a brand new apartment for less at its Everest Park development of apartments and houses for sale in Basingstoke.

The amazing Easy Start shared equity scheme lets qualifying first-time buyers own selected stylish two-bedroom ‘Snowdon House’ flats for sale in Basingstoke now, priced from £141,995 at this sought-after development, for only £120,696*– that’s 85% of the full purchase price!

Tim Betts, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “With many first-time buyers unable to raise enough money for a deposit, owning a property in Basingstoke can feel like an impossible dream.

“But thanks to Easy Start, ownership of brand new Basingstoke flats at Everest Park can become a reality for those struggling to step on the property ladder.

“However, would-be homeowners will need to hurry to take advantage of this great scheme, as only a limited number of two-bedroom apartments are available at this sought-after development of property for sale in Basingstoke.”

Under Easy Start, purchasers need only to find a deposit as low as 5%** – just £7,100 – and Taylor Wimpey will put them in touch with an independent financial advisor to help arrange a mortgage covering up to 80% of the price of selected apartments in Basingstoke.

The remaining 15% is provided by the housebuilder in the form of an interest-free loan which can be repaid in up to three instalments over a 10-year period.

Ideal for individuals or couples in search of their first home, the two-bedroom ‘Snowdon House’ apartments currently available with Easy Start each benefit from a light and airy lounge/dining room with open-plan kitchen and French doors leading outside to an attractive private balcony.

The internal entrance hallway also leads to an en-suite master bedroom, a second double bedroom, a main bathroom and handy storage closets, while outside there is access to a communal landscaped garden.

In common with all new homes at the development, each ‘Snowdon House’ apartment includes allocated parking and is completed to a high standard specification with central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen including integrated oven, hob and hood.

As alternatives to the homes available with the Easy Start initiative, a superb selection of three and four-bedroom houses is currently on sale at Everest Park, with prices ranging from as little as £219,995 to just £269,995.

Everest Park offers homes at the peak of property design, and enjoys a popular location on the northern fringes of Basingstoke, bordered by beautiful countryside to the north and just over two miles from the town centre.

Basingstoke is home to bustling modern shops, good schools and exciting leisure activities, while its Festival Place shopping centre is ranked in the UK's top 10 biggest and best, with 165 stores and 29 restaurants, bars and cafes.

The town is also home to music venues, a choice of multi-screen cinemas, tennis courts, a leisure park, sports clubs, an ice rink, a swimming pool and bowling alleys.

For commuters, Basingstoke station is only a mile from the new homes, from which London Waterloo Station is just a 45-minute journey by rail, and the M3 is just three miles away.
