Qualifying Walsall property-seekers can now take advantage of the fantastic FirstBuy scheme with selected plots at Taylor Wimpey’s Saddlers Brook development of new homes for sale in Rushall, West Midlands.

First-time buyers across the West Midlands are finding an easier route on to the property ladder with FirstBuy, the fantastic Government-backed scheme which is available now at Taylor Wimpey’s stunning Saddlers Brook development of new build homes in Rushall, Walsall.

Thanks to a 20% joint loan from Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), FirstBuy is bringing a wealth of homeowner opportunities to first-time buyers at this superb collection of high-quality houses for sale in Rushall.

This exciting initiative lets qualifying purchasers in search of new homes for sale in Walsall or property for sale in Rushall secure their dream home for as little as 80% of the full purchase price – including a 75% mortgage and a 5% deposit, subject to status – and it’s available now with selected plots at Saddlers Brook.

Jan Titley, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “FirstBuy Walsall offers an amazing opportunity for first-time buyers across the region and we are delighted that it is now available with selected homes at our Saddlers Brook development of houses in Rushall.

“This fantastic initiative makes home-ownership much more accessible and means taking that first step onto the property ladder is now easier than ever for qualifying purchasers.”

For example with FirstBuy, the stylish three-bedroom ‘Kingsford’ semi-detached home, priced £162,995, is accessible to qualifying customers using the scheme for only 80% of its market value – that’s just £130,396!

FirstBuy works through a joint loan of 20% from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Taylor Wimpey, which means that eligible purchasers only need put down a 5% deposit and obtain a 75% loan-to-value mortgage.

The loan is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold. To be eligible, purchasers must be first-time buyers and their total household earnings should be less than £60,000.

The wonderfully designed ‘Kingsford’ boasts a spacious open-plan lounge/dining room, a contemporary fitted kitchen and a handy guest cloakroom located off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the landing leads to a master bedroom with en-suite facilities, two further bedrooms and a main bathroom.

Alternatively, the four-bedroom ‘Oakley’ detached home is currently available at Saddlers Brook from just £224,995.

Nestling in a leafy residential area off Cartbridge Lane South, Saddlers Brook is a tranquil new community of two, three and four-bedroom homes. The picturesque Ford Brook runs through this thoughtfully designed development, providing selected properties with an attractive waterfront aspect.

The new homes will enjoy convenient access to Rushall’s community facilities including schools for children of all ages, shops, pubs, a medical centre as well as green open spaces and play areas. To the north is some fine countryside with pleasant walks, particularly along Rushall Canal, which forms part of the historic Birmingham Canal Navigations.

Less than 20 minutes from Birmingham and benefiting from good education, health, transport, leisure and art facilities – as well as attractive woodland, commons and canals – Walsall boasts a diverse and stimulating town centre which lies just two miles from Saddlers Brook.

The town boasts a rich industrial heritage rooted in the leather industry, and has recently been undergoing something of a renaissance, with investment in 21st century amenities to further develop local retail, leisure and the environment.

To discover more about FirstBuy at Saddlers Brook, first-time buyers can visit the Sales and Marketing Suite, located off Cartbridge Lane South, Rushall, and open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm.
