Great value Essex properties for first-time buyers

Essex property-seekers can receive help to secure their first home with Taylor Wimpey’s Easy Start shared equity scheme at the leading housebuilder’s Peninsula development of houses for sale in Dovercourt, Essex.

First-time buyers who fear that the property ladder may be out of their reach should pay a visit to Peninsula, Taylor Wimpey’s prestigious development of property for sale in Dovercourt, Essex.

The leading housebuilder is offering one lucky first-time buyer the chance to buy a beautiful three-bedroom ‘Fenton’ house under the amazing Easy Start shared equity scheme at this popular development, which is proving a big hit with those in search of new homes for sale in Harwich and property for sale in Essex.

This incredible initiative lets the qualifying purchaser own this superb Dovercourt property for just 85% of its full purchase price – only £127,495* – with only a 5% deposit required, subject to status.

Taylor Wimpey provides up to 15% equity in the form of an interest-free loan repayable in up to three-instalments over a 10-year period, at the market value of the property.

Stacy Dornan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “With many mortgage lenders demanding large deposits from first-time buyers, which can be as high as 20%, owning that first home may seem like a dream for many.

“Thanks to Easy Start, one lucky first-time buyer will need just a 5% deposit – that’s just £7,500 – to make the ‘Fenton’ at Plot 59 their very own.

“However, with Easy Start only available on just one stylish new home at Peninsula, this lovely property won’t be around for long, so I would urge first-time buyers to contact the Sales Executive as soon as possible to find out more.”

The ‘Fenton’ at Plot 59 is a beautiful end-terrace house, boasting a spacious kitchen/dining room and a large lounge, each opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a handy guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs is a spacious master bedroom with en-suite, along with two further bedrooms and a main bathroom, while a garage and allocated parking can be found outside.

Alternative three-bedroom houses at Peninsula include the ‘Hexton’, priced from just £145,995, and the ‘Weston’, from as little as £152,995. The four-bedroom ‘Salisbury’ townhouse, meanwhile, is priced from only £169,995.

Peninsula offers homebuyers an enviable lifestyle close to Blue Flag beaches, a wealth of restaurants, bars and cafes, a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market plus a great choice of shops.

In addition to windsurfing and a wide range of watersports, Dovercourt Leisure Centre in Low Road offers a swimming pool and solarium, fitness suite and floodlit pitch, while facilities for football, rugby, cricket and tennis are also local.

For those who enjoy walking, trails provide the chance to explore the nearby woodlands and meadows, while the country lanes and shoreline also make for perfect cycling, and the National Cycle Network runs from Harwich to Manningtree.

Commuters will appreciate that Dovercourt Railway Station is only half a mile from home, with regular services to Colchester in 30 minutes, Chelmsford in 60 minutes, and London Liverpool Street in 90 minutes. Road links are also excellent, with the A120 to Colchester close by, and Stansted Airport only 50 miles away.
