Homebuyers helped to buy first Telford property
First-time buyers Martin Watkins and Denise Crichton were given a leg-up on to the property ladder at Taylor Wimpey’s The Cloisters development of new homes for sale in Telford.
It seemed like Martin Watkins and Denise Crichton might be stuck in rented accommodation for years to come – but one visit to Taylor Wimpey’s The Cloisters development of new homes in Telford turned out to be a life-changing experience.
There the couple discovered how the leading housebuilder could enable them to take their pick from this superb collection of property for sale in Telford without the need for a hefty deposit.
“We had been living together for about four years in a rented two-bedroom terraced property in Telford,” says Martin (38), a fork lift truck driver. “We had always wanted to buy our own place, but it is so difficult these days because first-time buyers usually need such big deposits.
“Thankfully for us, we heard about the help that was on offer for buyers like us at Taylor Wimpey Telford’s The Cloisters which meant we could afford to buy a home with only a 5% deposit.
“Right from the start, everything has been really straightforward and the Sales Team has given us all the information and assistance we’ve needed to become homeowners – and we’re so happy with what we’ve been able to achieve with their help!”
When Martin and Denise first visited the development of houses for sale in Telford, it was little more than an office in a muddy field. But the friendly Sales Executive was there to talk them through exactly how this stunning development would look when it was all complete.
“They were informative and showed us the plans for each of the properties and for the layout of the development,” says Martin.
“No houses had been built when we first arrived at The Cloisters so we bought off plan, and while our home was being built we would come back and see how things were moving along.
“Now, we’ve got a lovely three-bedroom detached house with a nice garden. I really like the location of our property too – we’ve got a good view and it’s possible to get to the countryside quickly, plus there is a supermarket just down the road.”
An exceptional range of homebuyer incentives is currently available at The Cloisters suitable for first-time buyers like Martin and Denise, as well as those with a property to sell.
For example, first-time buyers who don’t have enough deposit to secure a new home at the development can have their 5% cash downpayment matched by the leading housebuilder under the Deposit Match scheme, available with selected properties.
Alternatively, those already on the property ladder can take advantage of Taylor Wimpey’s Part Exchange scheme and receive the market value of their existing property, based on the average of independent professional valuations, with the agreed sum deducted from the price of their brand new purchase.
Incentives can be tailored to customers’ individual circumstances and are subject to availability with full details available from the Sales Executive.
