Act quickly to secure new homes in Leicester

Taylor Wimpey is encouraging savvy first-time buyers to avoid paying stamp duty by moving fast to purchase selected new homes for sale in Birstall, Leicestershire, at Cedar Walk.

Aspiring home-owners could make hefty savings on the price of their dream property if they act quickly at Taylor Wimpey’s Cedar Walk development of new build homes in Birstall, near Leicester.

Stamp duty is currently suspended for first-time buyers purchasing new homes for sale in Leicestershire below £250,000, but from 24th March the one per cent tax is being reintroduced on all homes costing between £125,000 and £250,000.

Savvy buyers are being urged to act without delay to ensure they complete their purchase before the deadline – and save up to £2,059 on the cost of two and four-bedroom apartments and houses for sale in Birstall at the development.

Carolyne Watkinson, Regional Sales Manager for Taylor Wimpey, says: “The high-quality homes and great location of the development make it the ideal place for would-be purchasers in search of houses or flats for sale in Leicestershire to take their first step onto the property ladder.

“And with the sun setting on the stamp duty holiday, this is the last chance for first-time buyers to take advantage of this superb money-saving incentive at our Cedar Walk development of property for sale in Birstall!”

A stylish selection of two-bedroom Birstall apartments and spacious four-bedroom houses for sale in Leicestershire is currently on sale at the development, ready for completion ahead of the stamp duty holiday, with prices starting at just £92,796.

The magnificent four-bedroom Plot 10 ‘Juniper2’ semi-detached Birstall property, for example, is available now for just £205,995.

This impressive property features on the ground floor a light and airy en-suite bedroom opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a useful utility room.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to a spacious kitchen/dining room, a generously-sized lounge and a handy guest cloakroom, while the en-suite master bedroom, two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a main bathroom are located on the top floor. Outside, the property benefits from a car port and additional allocated parking.

Like all homes at Cedar Walk, the ‘Juniper2’ is completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

Selected properties are available with the Government-backed FirstBuy scheme, which lets qualifying first-time buyers secure their new home for just 80% of its purchase price, including a 5% deposit, subject to status. Full details of the FirstBuy initiative are available from the Sales Executive.

Nestled on the edge of Birstall village, Cedar Walk is an exclusive development of 108 new homes at Hallam Fields, just a stone’s throw from beautiful open countryside and village amenities.

As the new community grows, it will benefit from a range of new facilities on the doorstep, including a new school, shops, offices and business units.

For commuters, the nearby A6 provides a quick link into Leicester city centre and Loughborough, while junction 21a of the M1 is just five miles from home.

A new park and ride bus service also operates close to Cedar Walk, providing a speedy and stress-free commute into the centre of Leicester, where a huge range of high street and independent stores can be found, alongside a wealth of cultural and leisure amenities. Fosse Park, a large retail development, is also within easy reach of the new homes.
