Selected homes at Taylor Wimpey’s Everest Park development of property for sale in Basingstoke are available with Easy Start shared equity, which lets first-time buyers become homeowners without having to save for a hefty deposit.

Basingstoke property-seekers hoping to move to their ideal home in 2011 – but who fear that they cannot afford to step on to the property ladder – are being urged to discover: “You Can with Taylor Wimpey!”

Selected brand new homes at the leading housebuilder’s Everest Park development of houses and flats for sale in Basingstoke are now available with the fantastic Easy Start shared equity scheme, which lets qualifying first-time buyers secure their property for just 85% of the full purchase price.

Under this money-saving initiative, would-be movers can pick their perfect place at Everest Park – where stylish two-bedroom Basingstoke apartments are available from as little as £122,396* – with only a 5% deposit required, subject to status.

Taylor Wimpey will then provide 15% equity in the form of an interest-free, 10-year loan, repayable in up to three instalments at the market value of the property in Basingstoke.

Tim Betts, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “For many aspiring first-time buyers searching for houses and flats in Basingstoke, the dream of stepping on to the property ladder often ends up coming to nothing because of the incorrect assumption that home ownership is simply too expensive.

“Thanks to our amazing Easy Start shared equity scheme at Everest Park, however, beautiful brand new Basingstoke flats can be purchased for as little as £122,396* – and with a deposit as low as 5% all that’s usually required, first-time buyers can achieve their dream without having to save for years.

“To take advantage of this incredible incentive, I would urge property-seekers looking for their first home to contact us without delay – and find out how You Can with Taylor Wimpey.”
