Secure a new property in St Neots with £5k deposit
Taylor Wimpey’s Easy Start scheme lets first-time buyers secure selected homes at its Knights Park development of property for sale in St Neots for 85% of the full price – and just a 5% deposit.
First-time buyers are being offered an amazing opportunity to step on to the property ladder at Taylor Wimpey’s Knights Park development of new homes in St Neots – without having to spend years saving for a hefty deposit.
Selected apartments in St Neots at this sought-after development are now available with the leading housebuilder’s Easy Start shared equity scheme, which means qualifying first-time buyers can secure their new home for 85% of its full purchase price.
Under the initiative, one lucky purchaser in search of flats for sale in St Neots can reserve the stylish one-bedroom ‘Astwick’ apartment, priced £99,995, for only £84,996 with only a 5% deposit required – that’s just £5,000*.
As well as helping the purchaser to secure a great-value mortgage through its independent financial advisors, Taylor Wimpey will provide 15% of the full price as an interest-free equity loan, repayable in up to three instalments over a 10-year period at the market value of the brand new St Neots property.
Stacy Dornan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Easy Start shared equity presents a fantastic opportunity for aspiring homeowners looking for St Neots flats to purchase their first property without the need for a significant deposit.
“This incredible scheme is always popular with first-time buyers and because it applies only to a limited number of properties to buy in St Neots at Knights Park, we don’t expect it to be available for long. I would encourage would-be movers to contact us without delay if they hope to avoid missing out.”
The delightful one-bedroom ‘Astwick’ apartment features a private front door opening through to a ground-floor lobby with stairs leading up to a spacious lounge/dining room with open-plan kitchen, a good-sized bedroom and a bathroom.
Alternatively, two-bedroom apartments are available at the development from only £112,995, or just £96,046 through the Easy Start scheme.
All apartments benefit from allocated parking outside and are completed to a high standard specification, including central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Knights Park is located on the edge of the thriving Cambridgeshire market town of St Neots, which boasts a bustling traditional Thursday market and regular farmers’ markets, plus a wealth of open space, parks and picturesque riverside footpaths.
The town is a popular location with commuters: the A1 links to London in the south and Peterborough to the north, while the A14 offers direct access to the Midlands and East Anglia.
Bedford is 12 miles away and Cambridge 18 miles, and trains running from St Neots to London’s Kings Cross – for fast links to Europe from St Pancras – take just 39 minutes.
St Neots is also home to acres of green parks and open spaces and has been described as ‘a town in a garden’. Riverside Park, close to the town centre is set in 72 acres with a waterside frontage, a pitch-and-putt golf course and play areas, a boating lake, a skateboarding complex and is a great place to listen to relaxing live music on summer Sundays.
The Priory Centre hosts everything from theatre productions to discos as well as the annual Folk Festival, while St Neots Leisure Centre offers facilities from tennis, badminton and squash courts to swimming pool and sauna, aerobics room to astro-turf pitch, and the Impressions Fitness Studio.
To be in with a chance of securing an Easy Start apartment at Knights Park, first-time buyers can visit the Sales Information Centre, located off Chapman Way, St Neots, Cambridgeshire, PE19 2SA, and open Thursday to Sunday from 10am to 4pm and Mondays from 1.30pm to 4pm.
