First time buyers snap up homes at Austen Court
First time buyers looking for a fantastic new home in Hilsea had better get their skates on quick as Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties has sold 60% of the properties from the first phase of its Austen Court development in just two months!
Since its launch in February, the development has experienced a storming success with house hunters snapping up the one and two bedroom apartments available that start from just £97,975*! Many have also taken advantage of the fantastic range of financial schemes the leading housebuilder has on offer to help make getting on the property ladder even easier.
Sarah Pasco, regional sales director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the success of Austen Court since its launch just two months ago with 60% of the first phase now sold, and thanks to the range of financial incentives and affordable apartments on offer, half of the purchasers have first time buyers!
Getting a home at Austen Court couldn’t be easier with Taylor Wimpey’s Easystart scheme. Under the scheme, first time buyers can purchase a 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.
Sarah adds: “These schemes are fantastic news for many house hunters desperately looking for their first home but who think they can’t afford it as they help overcome the big deposit hurdle. This, combined with rental values increasing in Hilsea, makes now a really good time to get out of the rental rut and onto the property ladder!”
The leading housebuilder is also offering its innovative Deposit Match scheme for those who want a better mortgage rate and more deposit. Using the scheme, Taylor Wimpey could double you deposit by up to 10% of the purchase price.
Located on the north end of Portsea Island, Austen Court benefits from its close proximity to Portsmouth city centre which offers an array of shops, restaurants and night life. For commuters, Hilsea railway station is on the Portsmouth direct line from London Waterloo and the M27 is nearby.
