New homes in Bedfordshire ideal for first-time buyers

Myth-busting housebuilder Taylor Wimpey is aiming to dispel popular misconceptions about the mortgage market – and reassure first-time buyers that they can afford to step onto the property ladder at one of its high-quality developments of new homes for sale in Bedfordshire.

First-time buyers who believe the Bedfordshire property ladder is out of their reach will think again if they attend Taylor Wimpey’s First Time Buyer Evening in the county.

Research commissioned by the leading housebuilder, which is currently building a number of developments of property for sale in Bedfordshire, suggests that many would-be buyers are deterred from looking into a property purchase because they assume they won’t qualify for a mortgage.

But this special event on Thursday 26th January will see Taylor Wimpey set the record straight for buyers interested in new homes for sale in Wixams, near Bedford, and new-build houses in Biggleswade.

Between 5pm and 7pm at Taylor Wimpey’s Heritage Park development of new homes in Bedford, experts will dispel popular misconceptions about mortgage lending and explain to potential first-time buyers how it could be much easier than they think to afford their very own Bedford property.

Steve Rolt, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our research shows that 92% of people think it is hard for first-time buyers to secure a mortgage, and that two out of three prospective property purchasers are completely put off from applying because they fear they will be turned down*.

“By attending our First Time Buyer Evening at Heritage Park, would-be buyers will not only find a new property could be comfortably within their reach, but they’ll be pleasantly surprised at how straightforward and stress-free the whole process can be when purchasing a Taylor Wimpey home – and they may only need a 5% deposit.”

The First Time Buyer Evening will include an informative presentation from Taylor Wimpey’s experienced sales team and an independent financial advisor to demystify the mortgage application process.

The advisor will also be able to assess individual circumstances on the spot, and offer advice on how it is possible to secure a brand new Taylor Wimpey home at the Heritage Park development of houses for sale in Wixams, or at the leading housebuilder’s Bramble Walk development of Biggleswade property or Woodlands Park in Bedford.

First-time buyers can also find out about the range of money-saving incentives offered by Taylor Wimpey, which means they could potentially purchase their new property with only a 5% deposit.

The Government-backed FirstBuy scheme is one of the initiatives available for first-time buyers at Heritage Park, Bramble Walk and Woodlands Park and means selected new homes can be accessed by eligible purchasers for 80% of the full price, including a 75% mortgage and a 5% deposit, subject to status.

Full details of these fantastic incentives will be available at the First Time Buyer Evening, along with further information about the high-quality homes at these developments.
