Expert help to secure new homes in Welwyn Garden City
A team of experts will be available to help first-time buyers during a special event at Taylor Wimpey’s Mirage development of new build homes in Welwyn Garden City.
First-time buyers can discover everything they need to know about purchasing a new home during the special event being hosted at Taylor Wimpey’s stunning Mirage development of new properties for sale in Welwyn Garden City.
The leading housebuilder’s FirstBuy Weekend, taking place at the Sales Information Centre on Saturday 3rd September, will enable property-seekers to go through all the fine details involved with moving into new apartments or houses in Welwyn Garden City with experienced professionals.
Purchasing new homes in Hertfordshire might seem daunting to first-time buyers, but the Taylor Wimpey team will be available to answer any burning questions home-hunters may have about getting on to the property ladder, including how to secure the best mortgage deal and how to make their finances stretch further.
They will also offer house-hunters all the information they need about the Government-backed FirstBuy initiative, which lets qualifying purchasers secure selected homes with a 75% mortgage and just a 5% deposit, and is available with selected properties at the Mirage development of new homes for sale in Welwyn Garden City.
What’s more, the first five purchasers reserving their favourite plots at the development of houses and apartments for sale in Welwyn Garden City during FirstBuy Weekend will receive a free furniture pack, flooring and integrated appliances, subject to availability. Visitors to the development will also be able to find out more about the superb selection of new homes in Hatfield at Taylor Wimpey’s Stratus development.
Tony Woodman, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our FirstBuy weekend is the perfect opportunity for would-be homeowners to step on the property ladder with ease. Along with providing access to independent financial and legal advice, we will explain to visitors – particularly those who think they can’t afford to buy a property for sale in Welwyn Garden City – how easy owning a property at our Mirage development could be.
“The Government-backed FirstBuy scheme eliminates the need for big deposits, allowing first-time buyers to purchase their home with only a 5% deposit and a 75% loan-to-value mortgage, thanks to a 20% loan from Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency, which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage or when the property is sold.
“Demand for this scheme is bound to be incredibly high, so the message to first-time buyers hoping to choose a stylish brand new home with FirstBuy has to be ‘Get in first, get in fast’ to avoid disappointment.”
To be eligible for the FirstBuy scheme, purchasers must be first-time buyers with total household earnings of less than £60,000. Under the initiative, the qualifying customer choosing the stylish one-bedroom ‘Mirage’ apartment at Plot 62, for example, priced £137,500, will need a mortgage of only £103,125 and a deposit of just £6,875.
Alternatively, stylish two-bedroom apartments are on sale at Mirage from only £143,960 under the FirstBuy scheme.
Welwyn Garden City was founded in 1920 and is laid out along tree-lined boulevards with a neo-Georgian town centre. The town boasts a large John Lewis and the Howard Centre indoor shopping mall as well as a wealth of restaurants, entertainment and leisure facilities.
Just 25 miles north of central London, Welwyn Garden City is an ideal spot for commuters looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, as well as for parents looking for a peaceful but well-appointed place to raise their families.
Parents will appreciate that there are many schools within close proximity of the new development, providing education for children of all ages.
The development also benefits from exceptional transport links, with Welwyn Garden City railway station just a stone’s throw away, and offering regular services to London King’s Cross in under 30 minutes, while Junction 4 of the A1(M) is within two miles of the new homes and the M25 is just 11 miles away.
FirstBuy Weekend is taking place between 10am and 5.30pm on Saturday 3rd at the Mirage Sales Information Centre, located in Broadwater Road, Welwyn Garden City, AL7 3BQ.
The development is also open Thursday to Sunday from 10am to 5.30pm and Mondays from 10am to 2pm.
