The affordable way to purchase new homes in Bromley

Taylor Wimpey is offering parents an opportunity to ‘get rid of the kids’ with the FirstBuy scheme at its Iconia development of new homes for sale in Bromley, Kent.

Parents who fear their grown-up children may never fly the nest will be delighted to hear it can cost as little as £8,350 to secure them a brand new home at Iconia, Taylor Wimpey’s in-demand development of property for sale in Bromley.

With the rising property prices of the past decade and mortgage providers asking for hefty deposits, it’s no surprise that many first-time buyers are staying longer in the family home because they can’t get a foothold on the Kent property ladder.

Fortunately, Taylor Wimpey is offering the fantastic FirstBuy scheme at its sought-after Iconia development of apartments for sale in Bromley to help first-time purchasers fly the family nest.

With a limited number of Bromley apartments at this popular development now available under the Government-backed initiative, parents could potentially get rid of the kids by providing a deposit of just £8,350!

Michael O’Leary, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “If parents feel the urge to reclaim their home for themselves, then now’s the time to do it at our stunning Iconia development of flats for sale in Bromley.

“FirstBuy is enabling scores of first-time buyers to finally get on to the property ladder – which not only means mum and dad can enjoy some peace and quiet, but they are also secure in the knowledge that their kids are making a sound investment in bricks and mortar.”

FirstBuy works through a joint loan of 20% from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Taylor Wimpey – which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold. To be eligible, purchasers must be first-time buyers and their total household earnings should be less than £60,000.

For example, the fabulous one-bedroom Plot 72 apartment at Iconia, priced £166,995, can be purchased with a 75% mortgage of just £125,246 and a 5% deposit of only £8,350, subject to status.

Each new Iconia apartment benefits from a spacious lounge/dining room with open-plan kitchen, generously proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom off the private entrance hallway, while selected plots have allocated parking outside.

Many of the apartments include private balconies to living areas and two-bedroom designs, priced from only £234,995, boast en-suite bathrooms to master bedrooms.

All new homes at the development are completed to a high standard specification to include central heating, double glazing, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and spotlights, plus spotlights and half-height tiling to en-suites and bathrooms.

Iconia lies within walking distance of the many shops, restaurants and leisure facilities of Bromley town centre, and is less than 16 miles from the centre of London.

Bromley South railway station, just a short walk from the development, operates frequent services to London Victoria station in about 16 minutes, while the development is perfectly situated for a number of universities, including the University of Greenwich and Goldsmiths University of London.

For international travellers, Iconia is only 25 miles from Gatwick Airport and 28 miles from Heathrow, both of which can be reached from the development by road or rail.
The development is also close to some of England’s most beautiful countryside, with rural Kent, Sussex and the South Downs just a short journey away.

To find out more about helping the children onto the property ladder at Iconia, parents can visit the Sales and Marketing Suite and showhome, located at Homesdale Road, Bromley, BR2 9HT, and open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5.30pm. Alternatively, the Sales Executive can be contacted on 0845 026 5280.
