Taylor Wimpey offers help to first time buyers
If you’re tired of living with mum and dad or fed up of handing over your hard earned cash to your landlord each month, then Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties’ FirstBuy scheme could be right up your street!
The UK’s leading housebuilder is offering a helping hand to Basingstoke’s first time buyers who are finding it a struggle to get onto the property ladder, as it has one home at The Glaciers at Everest Park now available to buy using FirstBuy.
Plot 228, the three bedroom ‘Hinscarth’, which offers spacious, flexible living across three floors, is priced at £235,000 but with the FirstBuy scheme is now available for a mortgage of £188,000 and a deposit of only £11,750.
Inside the Hinscarth you’ll find a modern kitchen, a spacious dining/ living room with French doors leading to a stylish conservatory, and a handy cloakroom all on the ground floor.
On the first floor are two bedrooms and a modern family bathroom, while up on the second floor is the magnificent master bedroom with en-suite.
Sarah Pasco, regional sales director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said: “We speak to numerous first time buyers who are finding it incredibly difficult when it comes to getting onto the property ladder, 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, but as there is only one opportunity to buy using this scheme I’d encourage those interested to get down to The Glaciers at Everest Park now or risk missing out!”
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.
The Glaciers at Everest Park enjoys an enviable location situated in the pleasant Popley neighbourhood in Basingstoke. There’s a wealth of amenities close by to suit the busiest of lifestyles including Festival Place, which is around 2.5 miles away and offers some of the country’s finest shopping, as well as a wide selection of pubs, bars, restaurants, cafes and coffee shops to enjoy.
Currently available are a range of two, three and four bedroom homes with prices starting from just £165,000.
