Would-be home-buyers struggling to find a foothold on the property ladder can double their deposit by choosing a great-value home at Castleford in Market Drayton, Shropshire.
Thanks to George Wimpey’s fantastic Deposit Match scheme, buyers who can raise a down-payment of up to 10% of the purchase price of a home at this hugely popular development will receive the same amount again in an interest-free loan*.
The great deal is available on selected properties at Castleford, and gives first-time buyers access to a wider range of mortgages, more competitive interest rates and lower monthly repayments.
With latest figures from Nationwide showing a fifth successive monthly rise in house prices, now is the perfect time to invest in a brand new home before the market recovery really begins to pick up pace.
Daniel McGowan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our Deposit Match scheme could make all the difference in enabling first-time buyers to take their first step on the property ladder now.
“All the signs indicate that confidence is returning to the property market, but the average price of a new home is still similar to, if not cheaper than, the prices of a year ago.
“First-time buyers who have been holding out to see what the property market does should act quickly to take advantage of this fantastic incentive which makes investing in a brand new home at Castleford more affordable than ever!”
A selection of attractive home designs is available now at the development, where prices start at just £143,500 for a two-bedroom coach house apartment with single garage or for a three-bedroom mews house with two allocated parking spaces.
A choice of three-bedroom, semi-detached homes is also available from the incredible-value price of only £155,500.
The ‘Cranmore’ mews house is ideal for first-time buyers and young families, and features a spacious lounge/dining room, modern fitted kitchen and a guest cloakroom off the private entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the light and airy master bedroom boasts a built-in wardrobe and handy storage cupboard, while the first-floor landing also leads to two further good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The ‘Cranmore’ also benefits from two allocated parking spaces and, like all new properties at Castleford, is completed to a high-standard specification, including central heating, double glazing and fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
Castleford enjoys a semi-rural location less than a mile from Market Drayton town centre, with its lively street market and wide variety of independent shops, restaurants, pubs and cafés.
Running close to the town centre, the charming 66-mile Shropshire Union Canal is a popular stopping-off point for boaters – and the perfect setting for scenic walks.
Commuters will appreciate that the A53 is a few minutes’ drive from the development and junction 15 of the M6 is only 20 minutes away by car. The nearest train station is Prees, which links to Birmingham via Shrewsbury.
As an alternative to the Deposit Match scheme, George Wimpey provides a range of deals tailor-made for all types of buyer, and for those with a property to sell, the leading housebuilder’s ‘easymover’ programme offers attractive incentives on selected properties.
