Escape the rental rut with a new home in Runcorn
If you’re currently living with mum and dad or fed up of handing over your hard earned cash to your landlord each month, then Taylor Wimpey North West’s ‘First Time Buyer’ events taking place over the next couple of weeks are where you need to be!
Being held at The Deck in Runcorn on 12th and 13th March and at Speakman Gardens in Prescot on 19th and 20th March, these events are designed to demonstrate to struggling first time buyers that there are options available to help them in their quest to home ownership, as well as clearing up the confusion surrounding the real cost of getting onto the property ladder.
Sam Williams, associate sales director for Taylor Wimpey North West, said: “We speak to numerous first time buyers that are totally confused when it comes to getting onto the property ladder – many simply don’t know where to start. Not only is there an abundance of news reports on the property market to make sense of, recent research* has also claimed that the average first time buyer has to save a deposit of over £37,000 to become a home owner - in reality you need a deposit of less than £4,700 to buy a new home Speakman Gardens and £3,500 at The Deck!”
Both developments have a range of new homes that are ideal for first time buyers, even those on the tightest of budgets. At The Deck you can snap up a one bedroom apartment for just £59,458 and at Speakman Gardens you can be the proud owner of a two bedroom apartment for just £79,475 by using the house builder’s Easystart** shared equity scheme.
Under the scheme, first time buyers can purchase a new Taylor Wimpey home for as little as 85% of the price now. Simply 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.
Sam adds: “These ‘First Time Buyer’ events are going to act like a ‘one stop shop’ – not only will visitors be able to look at the new homes that are within a first time buyer budget, they’ll be able to find out about the schemes in place to help them get onto the ladder and can speak to a financial advisor about the best mortgage deals out there. So don’t give up on your dream of becoming a home owner, come along to the event to find out more!”
Set next to the River Mersey and within sight of the Runcorn Bridge, The Deck is ideal for first time buyers and features a collection of modern one and two bedroom apartments.
With a fantastic collection of homes ranging from two bedroom apartments, to three and four bedroom townhouses and four bedroom detached homes, Speakman Gardens has something for everyone.
