West London properties ideal for first-time buyers
First-time buyers hoping to secure one of Taylor Wimpey’s stunning new homes in West London at the Essence development can get help with the Government-backed FirstBuy scheme.
This fantastic initiative, in association with the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), lets qualifying purchasers secure their new home with a mortgage of just 75% of the full purchase price – plus a deposit as low as 5%, subject to status – and is available now at the leading housebuilder’s Essence development of apartments for sale in West London.
The spacious one-bedroom apartment at Plot 21, for example, can be accessed by qualifying purchasers for 80% of its £169,995 purchase price under the FirstBuy scheme, meaning first-time buyers could secure this stylish West London property for just £135,996 – including a £127,496 mortgage and a deposit of only £8,500.
Taylor Wimpey and the HCA will boost the purchaser’s down-payment on the new homes for sale in West London at Essence with a joint loan of 20%, which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term, or when the property is sold. To be eligible for FirstBuy, customers must be first-time buyers with a household income below £60,000.
Tim Betts, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “FirstBuy offers first-time buyers a unique opportunity to leave renting behind and step on to the property ladder in style.
“But, with just 9 new apartments in West London available to buy through this highly popular initiative at Essence, I would stress to anyone interested in taking advantage of the offer that they must be quick to avoid missing out.”
Plot 21 at Essence offers an exceptionally well-planned layout, featuring a light and airy living room with dining area and open-plan kitchen that provides the perfect space for relaxing and entertaining.
The spacious double bedroom boasts French doors opening to an attractive private balcony, with en-suite access to the main bathroom, while a handy storage closet and airing cupboard are also located off the entrance hallway.
Outside, this wonderful property benefits from an allocated parking space and the use of a delightful shared garden.
Alternatively, great-value two-bedroom apartments are available now at Essence from only £204,995, with selected plots boasting en-suite master bedrooms and allocated parking.
All new homes at Essence are completed to a high standard specification with central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Yiewsley’s position on the western edge of the capital means residents are superbly placed for central London, only 16 miles away, while attractive countryside and parkland are on its doorstep.
Local shops line the bustling high streets of Yiewsley and nearby West Drayton along with weekly markets, and there’s also a fantastic selection of cafés, wine bars and restaurants to enjoy.
Uxbridge, just three miles away from Essence, boasts a wider selection of shops with The Pavilions and The Chimes shopping centres, as well as a multiplex cinema and the Lido Sports and Leisure Centre with state-of-the-art facilities including a 25-metre, eight-lane swimming pool and the restored original open-air lido.
