“With FirstBuy available on a strictly limited number of plots, this is an amazing opportunity for aspiring homeowners to step on to the Canterbury property ladder, and I would urge anyone interested in finding out more to contact us without delay – before it’s too late!”

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 to secure their choice of qualifying apartments to buy in Canterbury at Millers Court.
