First time home buying made simple in Littlehampton

Attention first time buyers! Desperately want a place of your own and feel like you’re throwing money away on rent? Or are you trying to get onto the housing ladder but keep coming up against a brick wall?
Then Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties may have the solution you’ve been hoping for at its Elysian Fields development in Littlehampton!
The leading house builder has now rolled out its Easystart* scheme across its developments in the region, offering first time buyers a real helping hand in their quest for home ownership.
The shared equity scheme allows the home buyer to purchase 100% of their chosen property for just 85% of the market price. So under the scheme a two bedroom Meadow View apartment at Elysian Fields, usually priced at £149,995, would be available for just £127,495!
Sarah Pasco, regional sales director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said: “We’re delighted that our Easystart scheme is now available at all of our developments across the region. It’s already helped scores of first time buyers realise their dream of owning their own home and given the ongoing struggles facing their journey onto the property ladder, we know there are many more who could benefit by taking advantage of this fantastic scheme.”
The way it works is simple; just pay a 5% deposit on exchange of contracts, and 80% of the price via your prearranged mortgage on completion. Taylor Wimpey will then loan you the remaining 15%, with no rent or interest to pay for up to 10 years.
Sarah adds: “With reports that some lenders require deposits of up to 46%, only having to put down a 5% deposit is a breath of fresh air. It allows first time buyers wanting to purchase a place of their own a real chance of homeownership, without them having to scrimp and save for years and years.
“We have a fantastic selection of homes which are ideally suited to those looking for their first home. Why not visit us online for more information or talk to one of our experienced sales advisers who would be more than happy to help?”
Elysian Fields is an impressive collection of two, three and four bedroom homes set in an excellent location. The European Blue Flag award-winning West beach is on the doorstep and the town offers a wealth of leisure amenities including shops, cosy cafes and restaurants and the first class Littlehampton Swimming and Sports centre.
