First time home buying made simple in Prescot
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 North West may have the solution you’ve been hoping for at its Speakman Gardens development in Prescot!
The leading house builder has now rolled out its Easystart* scheme across selected 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 apartment at Speakman Gardens, usually priced at £84,958, would be available for just £79,500 – all you need is a £3,600 deposit!
As an added Christmas present the housebuilder is also giving away an entertainment system worth £1,500 to anyone reserving by 24th December.
Elaine Smith, regional sales manager for Taylor Wimpey North West, said: “We’re delighted that our Easystart scheme is now available at Speakman Gardens. 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.
Elaine 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?”
Once complete, Speakman Gardens will comprise a collection of two bedroom apartments and three and four-bedroom homes in Prescot with prices starting from just £84,958. A wide range of amenities are located less than a mile from the development, including the Prescot Shopping Centre. Further afield, Liverpool is just eight miles away offering an even wider range of shopping, leisure activities and nightlife.
