Homes being snapped up at Wharf Central
Taylor Wimpey Midlands is urging house hunters in Solihull not to miss out on their dream home at its popular Wharf Central development, following a flurry of sales which has seen ten homes snapped up in the last two months.
Since its launch the development has attracted interest from first time buyers, downsizers and investors, all keen to take advantage of the high quality, low maintenance homes on offer in such a sought after location. And it’s proving to be such a phenomenal success that Taylor Wimpey now expects the development to be sold out by June next year – much earlier than initially anticipated.
Anne Wallace, regional sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey Midlands, said: “When we launched Wharf Central we were inundated with enquiries and this level of interest has continued to gain momentum, so much so that we’re looking at selling out in just over six months from now.
“The secret to the success of Wharf Central has to be the two designer show apartments that are available to view, its fantastic location and the contemporary homes on offer – factors that are often at the top of a house buyer’s wish list. The opportunity to snap up a new home for less than £94,000* that’s within easy walking distance of Solihull town centre and the wealth of shopping and entertainment facilities it offers, doesn’t come around often, so it’s popularity comes as no surprise.”
For first time buyers struggling to get onto the property ladder, buying a new home couldn’t be easier with Taylor Wimpey’s FirstBuy* scheme. Designed to help 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.
This scheme means you could snap up a sought after one bedroom apartment on the market for £116,995, from as little as £93,596 with only a £5,850 deposit* — making Wharf Central the ideal place for your first pad.
Anne adds: “People are finding it increasingly difficult to get out of the rental rut, especially as they think they have to save thousands upon thousands for a desposit for their first home. With FirstBuy, Taylor Wimpey is offering an affordable way of getting onto the property ladder, so if you’re interested, I’d recommend paying Wharf Central a visit before it’s too late!”
Wharf Central is well connected to Birmingham with regular trains, and there is an hourly service direct to London Marylebone. Birmingham International Airport only a short distance away and the nearby M40 also provides easy access to motorways taking you all over the Midlands and the UK.
Visitors to Wharf Central will be able to find out more about the range of one and two bedroom apartments, which currently start from just £116,995 (or from as little as £93,596 with FirstBuy).
