New homes in Oldbury offer exceptional value

First-time buyers are being urged to leave renting behind and buy a brand new home at Taylor Wimpey’s Beresford Grove development of property for sale in Oldbury, West Midlands.
It costs an average of £515* per month to rent a two-bedroom property in Oldbury – but at Taylor Wimpey’s Beresford Grove development, first-time buyers could find themselves paying much less for a stylish new home of their own!
Available from only £67,996** with the leading housebuilder’s easystart shared equity initiative for qualifying first-time buyers, the stunning two-bedroom ‘Sandringham’ apartments for sale in Oldbury at Beresford Grove offer a realistic alternative to paying a landlord.
Owning one of Taylor Wimpey’s stylish two-bedroom ‘Sandringham’ flats for sale in Oldbury, for example, could cost as little as £338 per month*** – far less than the average rental price in the town and an amazing saving of more than £2,124 per year!
Jan Titley, Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey West Midlands, says: “A lot of people living in rented accommodation would prefer to purchase a property of their own, but many may be put off by the incorrect assumption that they would be paying more for their mortgage repayments than their monthly rent, or that they need to put down a large deposit.
“Thanks to the great-value prices and easystart scheme on our stunning apartments to buy in Oldbury at Beresford Grove, the cost of home ownership compares favourably with renting and could even work out cheaper for first-time buyers, who only need to put down a deposit from as little as 5% of the purchase price, subject to status. That’s from just £4,000.”
The two-bedroom ‘Sandringham’ apartment is an ideal first home, benefiting from a spacious lounge, a separate fitted kitchen, plus two well-proportioned bedrooms and a main bathroom off the private entrance hallway.
Outside there are landscaped communal gardens, while each ‘Sandringham’ apartment comes complete with allocated parking.
All new homes at Beresford Grove are finished to a high standard specification, including central heating, double-glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Two-bedroom apartments are available to view now at the development, along with the beautifully decorated ‘Balmoral’ show house.
Beresford Grove enjoys a handy location less than a mile from Oldbury town centre, which boasts a wealth of high street shops, pubs and eateries, while an even wider range of shopping and leisure facilities can be found in nearby Dudley.
Birmingham city centre lies only five miles from home and can be easily reached by car or public transport, with buses running every 10 minutes and a choice of railway stations with frequent services to Birmingham Snow Hill and New Street within walking distance of the development.
Commuters will appreciate that Junctions 1 and 2 of the M5 are only a short drive away, providing quick links to the M6, the M42 and the M40, while the Midland Metro tram link makes journeys to Wolverhampton and Birmingham even easier. For those travelling further afield, Birmingham International Airport is just over 20 miles away.
To find out how much they can save, first-time buyers should visit Beresford Grove Sales Centre, off Seymour Road, Oldbury, and open daily from 10am to 5pm.
