Fall in love with your dream first home this Valentines

Love will certainly be in the air this weekend (12th and 13th February) when first time buyers visiting Taylor Wimpey Exeter’s Horizons at An Arvor development in Duporth, St Austell, set eyes on the stunning apartments currently being built there.

The house builder is holding a special Valentines themed open weekend at the development, giving those in search of their perfect first pad the opportunity to view some of the apartments on offer. They’ll also be able to find out about the financial schemes in place designed to make the step to home ownership bliss easier and affordable.

Janine Davey, regional sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey Exeter, said: “Whether you’re a singleton on the lookout for a place to call your own or a couple wanting a haven to escape to we’re confident that even the fussiest of first time buyers will be bowled over by the high quality build, stylish design and stunning surroundings on offer at Horizons at An Arvor.

“Finding the right home can in some ways be compared to finding the right partner – the search is time consuming and there’s always the risk of heartbreak - you may be struggling to scrape together a deposit, don’t think you could possibly afford the monthly repayments or have resigned yourself to a life spent on the rental market.

“Luckily we have a number of schemes, including Easystart, our shared equity scheme, designed to overcome the home buying hurdles – enabling us to successfully ‘match make’ you with your dream home and avoiding the usual stresses that come with buying your first home.”

Through the Easystart* scheme homebuyers simply pay a 5% deposit to secure the property and pay 80% of the purchase price via their prearranged mortgage. Taylor Wimpey then loans the purchaser the remaining amount, with no rent or interest payable for up to 10 years.

If you’re on a limited budget the ‘Woodside’ apartments would be a desirable first home option. Priced from just £117,295 (Easystart price) the apartments feature open plan living space with access onto a private balcony, as well as a modern kitchen and contemporary bathroom.

Having an apartment lifestyle doesn’t have to mean city living as Horizons at An Arvor has the bonus of being set in a picturesque rural location within easy reach of everyday amenities and entertainment. The development provides the coastal scenery and woodland views buyers in Duporth desire as well as a beautiful private beach just moments away.
