Show home launch proves huge success in Prescot

Taylor Wimpey’s Speakman Gardens development in Prescot launched its spectacular new show apartment recently, giving first time buyers a glimpse of what could be their perfect first pad.
The stunning two bedroom Severn apartment, which has been styled by professional interior designers, is a welcome addition to the already popular development and is designed to showcase the spacious, high quality homes on offer. Perfect for first time buyers, it features an open plan living / dining room, two spacious bedrooms, a modern bathroom and comes complete with a parking space.
Stephen Grant, regional sales manager for Taylor Wimpey North West, said: “The launch of our new show apartment at Speakman Gardens was an overwhelming success! The apartment was very well received and provided a perfect opportunity for first time buyers to get an idea of what’s on offer to them in the area. It also proves that you don’t have to compromise on quality just because it’s your first home.”
For those wanting a home to call their own but who need help getting onto the property ladder, Taylor Wimpey is offering the government funded FirstBuy scheme. Designed to help first time buyers overcome the home buying hurdles, 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 mortgage term or when the property is sold. To be eligible, purchasers must be first time buyers and the total household earning should be less than £60,000.
Stephen adds: “If you’re keen to grasp some independence and are looking to get a leg up on to the property ladder, l suggest you head down to Speakman Gardens sooner rather than later, and find out what homes and financial incentives are on offer to you.”
Speakman Gardens comprises a collection of two bedroom apartments and three and four bedroom homes with prices starting from just £98,950 (or from as little as £79,160 using FirstBuy). As well as being an ideal base to commute to the whole of the North West, a wide range of amenities are located less than a mile from the development. Further afield, Liverpool is just eight miles away offering an even wider range of shopping, leisure activities and nightlife.
