Last chance to buy at Austen Court

House hunters in Portsmouth are being urged not to miss out on their dream home in Hilsea, as there’s only a handful of homes remaining for sale at Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties’ popular Austen Court development.

The stunning development now has just a small number of brand new one and two bedroom apartments available, which are perfect for first time buyers and can be snapped up for as little as £100,000, through the house builders’ Easystart scheme*.

Sarah Pasco, regional sales director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said, “Since its launch, Austen Court has been incredibly popular with house hunters looking to snap up one the high quality, affordable homes on offer at the development. These final remaining apartments are modern and stylish, making them a perfect fit for young couples or friends looking to buy together.”

Using Easystart, first time buyers can purchase a new Taylor Wimpey home for as little as 85% of the price now. Simply pay a 5% deposit on exchange of contracts, and 80% of the price via your prearranged mortgage on completion. Taylor Wimpey will then loan you the remaining 15%, with no rent or interest to pay for up to 10 years.

So under the scheme you could snap up a one bedroom apartment in Heaton House, which boasts a sizeable open plan kitchen/ living/ dining room with French doors leading onto a balcony, a master bedroom, modern bathroom and allocated parking space, for as little as £100,000 with a deposit of only £5,000*!

Sarah adds: “We speak to numerous first time buyers who are finding it incredibly difficult when it comes to getting onto the property ladder, but with our Easystart scheme you need a deposit of just £5,000 to buy your new home at Austen Court!

“We’re urging first time buyers to visit Austen Court now, as this really is the last chance to buy at the development.”

In addition to the last four one bedroom apartments, there’s also a collection of just eight two bedroom apartments remaining, priced from £132,000.

Located amongst mature trees on the north end of Portsea Island within an established residential area of Hilsea, Austen Court benefits from its close proximity to Portsmouth city centre, while Hilsea railway station offers commuters a direct line to London Waterloo.
