Don’t miss out on the perfect starter home in Hilsea

First time buyers looking to get onto the property ladder are being urged to snap one of Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties’ new one bedroom apartments on sale at Austen Court in Hilsea.

Such has been the popularity of the development with first time buyers that only seven one bedroom apartments remain for sale across the whole development – despite it only launching in February!

And although further phases of the development are planned, there will be no more one bedroom apartments once these last seven have gone, so first time buyers need to move fast to avoid missing out.

The apartments already represent fantastic value at just £114,995 but are available for only £97,945 through Taylor Wimpey's Easystart scheme, making it even easier to get onto that vital first rung of the ladder.

Under the scheme, first time buyers can purchase a Taylor Wimpey home for as little as 85% of the price by simply paying a 5% deposit on exchange of contracts, and then 80% of the price via a pre-arranged mortgage on completion.

Taylor Wimpey will then loan the buyer the remaining 15%, with no rent or interest to pay for up to 10 years.

Sarah Pasco, regional sales director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said of Easystart: "These schemes are fantastic news for many house hunters desperately looking to buy their first home but who think they can't afford it.

"They help overcome the big deposit hurdle and, 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.

"We've been overwhelmed by the success of Austen Court since its launch just a few months ago, but we would urge first time buyers to snap up these few remaining one bedroom apartments as they demonstrate tremendous value."

Austen Court, ideally situated in Hilsea, Portsmouth, on the north end of Portsea Island, is a mix of one and two bedroom apartments and two and three bedroom homes, built by Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties. A new collection of house from phase two has just been released for sale with prices starting from £149,995.

Located amongst mature trees within an established residential area of Hilsea, Austen Court benefits from its close proximity to Portsmouth city centre, while Hilsea railway station offers commuters a direct line to London Waterloo.
