Help at hand to secure new apartments in Soham
Taylor Wimpey is hosting a special weekend event to give first-time buyers all the information they need about FirstBuy at Lion Mills, its sought-after development of new homes for sale in Soham, Cambridgeshire.
First-time buyers have the chance to discover everything they need to know about purchasing a new home during a special event being hosted at Taylor Wimpey’s stunning Lion Mills development of new build homes in Soham, Cambridgeshire.
The leading housebuilder’s FirstBuy Weekend, taking place on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th October, will enable property-seekers in search of apartments for sale in Soham to go through all the fine details involved in moving house with experienced professionals.
From 10am to 5pm, an expert 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 for their perfect property for sale in Soham, and how to make their finances stretch further.
They will also offer property-seekers all the information they need about the Government-backed FirstBuy initiative, which lets qualifying purchasers secure selected flats for sale in Soham at Lion Mills for just 80% of their full value, including a 75% mortgage and a 5% deposit, subject to status.
Stacy Dornan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “FirstBuy is such a fantastic scheme and because it eliminates the need for a big deposit, first-time buyers in search of new homes in Soham are finding it is an easy and straightforward route into home-ownership.
“The Lion Mills FirstBuy Weekend is giving property-seekers the chance to find out about the stunning homes available at this conveniently located development – and how they can use this excellent Government-backed scheme to secure them!”
FirstBuy works through a 20% joint loan from Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold, and the scheme is open to first-time buyers with total household earnings under £60,000.
For example, with FirstBuy a two-bedroom apartment priced at £114,995 would be accessible to a qualifying first-time buyer for an 80% price of just £91,996, including a deposit of only £5,750!
These attractive homes on the banks of the pretty Soham Lode feature an open-plan kitchen/living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom, plus allocated parking outside – and selected plots benefit from en-suite facilities to master bedrooms.
Nestled in landscaped grounds dotted with mature trees and green open spaces, the new homes at Lion Mills offer the advantages of laidback village living as well as convenient access to transport links.
Lion Mills benefits from a wide range of amenities on the doorstep, including high street shops, a choice of supermarkets, pubs, restaurants and take-aways, while Cambridge, Newmarket and Ely are all within easy reach by road.
For commuters, the A412 offers quick links to the A14 east and west, while Ely railway station provides a direct service to London Kings Cross.
FirstBuy Weekend takes place from 10am to 5pm on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th October at the Lion Mills Sales Information Centre, located off Clay Street, Soham. Alternatively, visit taylorwimpey.co.uk.
