Great-value apartments in Croydon for under £170k
Taylor Wimpey’s Aura development of flats for sale in Croydon offers amazing opportunities for first-time buyers to leave renting behind and step on the property ladder – and potentially save money on monthly payments!
Aspiring homebuyers stuck in a rental rut are being urged to visit Taylor Wimpey’s Aura development of apartments for sale in Croydon – and discover how they could cut their monthly outgoings by owning a brand new home!
One-bedroom Croydon apartments within this sought-after collection of stylish properties are available now from as little as £169,995* with the leading housebuilder’s popular easystart shared equity scheme. Such great-value prices could mean mortgage repayments of less than £820** per month for qualifying first-time buyers.
Fiona Creed, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “The fantastic value for money on offer with our high-quality homes at Aura really does explode the myth that renting is cheaper than buying a property in Croydon.
“When you consider that the average cost of renting one-bedroom flats in Croydon is more than £720*** a month, it’s clear to see that homebuyers at this stunning development could be significantly better off each year.
“Add to this the fact that new research from FindaProperty.com reveals the average first-time buyer will spend more than £81,000 on rent before they buy a home, and we know an apartment at Aura will make great sense to savvy home-seekers in search of property for sale in Croydon.”
Just one of the contemporary homes available at Aura is the Plot 44 ‘Russell House’ apartment, a stylish one-bedroom property priced from just £169,995* with easystart – that’s just 85% of the full purchase price.
Subject to status, easystart customers require a deposit as low as 5% – only £9,500 – and Taylor Wimpey will provide the remaining 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 when payments are made.
Aura comprises just 49 apartments set in four and five-storey blocks, offering exclusive contemporary urban living within easy reach of Central London.
The homes feature open-plan kitchen/living rooms providing a superb space for relaxing and entertaining, while many plots benefit from en-suite master bedrooms in addition to a main bathroom, and attractive private balconies.
Commuters will appreciate that the development is just a short walk from East Croydon railway station, which offers frequent services into the capital in less than 20 minutes and Brighton in under an hour. Croydon also benefits from Tramlink, which has its main hub at the railway station.
The A23 and A22 are close by, putting the M25 within easy reach, and Gatwick Airport is just 21 miles from Aura.
Croydon is a bustling town with superb shopping, boosted by the massive Whitgift and Centrale shopping centres, which include Marks & Spencer, Debenhams and House of Fraser among their top names. A John Lewis at home store opened recently in Purley Way, a retail park famed for its big-name stores including Ikea, while the town also boasts a host of restaurants, bars and night-spots.
Excellent sporting facilities include Croydon Sports Arena for athletics, golf courses, leisure and fitness centres and opportunities for sailing and riding.
To find out more about saving money by buying a brand new home at Aura, first-time buyers can visit the Sales Information Centre, located off Sydenham Road, Croydon, and open Friday to Wednesday from 11am to 6pm and Thursdays from 12pm to 7pm.
