First-time home buying in Solihull made simple
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 Midlands may have the solution you’ve been hoping for at its Wharf Central development in Solihull!
The leading house builder is offering its Easystart* scheme on selected apartments at Wharf Central, 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 one bedroom apartment at Wharf Central, usually priced at £112,995, would be available for just £96,046.
Anne Wallace, regional sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey Midlands, said: “We’re delighted that our Easystart scheme is available to first time buyers struggling to get onto the Solihull property ladder. It’s already helped scores of first time buyers across the West Midlands 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.
Anne 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.
“Wharf Central is proving to be a big hit with young professionals and there’s a real feeling of community beginning to evolve. We have a fantastic selection of homes which are ideally suited to those looking for their first home, so why not pay us a visit to find out more?”
The apartments at Wharf Central start benefit from a fully fitted kitchen, spacious bedrooms with modern bathroom and an open-plan living / dining room, perfect for entertaining and day-to-day living, as well as secure underground car parking.
