Aspiring homeowners struggling to get a foothold on the property ladder are being offered a fantastic opportunity to purchase a brand new Taylor Wimpey apartment at Axis in Lewisham – without having to scrape together a large deposit.
The leading housebuilder’s amazing Easy Start initiative means first-time buyers can own selected homes for just 85% of the price tag. That means they could own a stylish studio with an advertised price of £149,995 for as little as £127,495!
All the purchaser needs to do is find a 5% deposit and Taylor Wimpey will arrange a mortgage covering 80% of the price.
Under the scheme, 15% equity is provided by the housebuilder in the form of an interest-free loan to boost the down-payment on the Axis apartment, which can be repaid in up to three instalments over a 10-year period.
Marie-Claire Travis, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Our incredible Easy Start scheme can make owning a home a reality for buyers who would otherwise struggle to raise enough money for a deposit on their first home.
“The purchaser owns 100% of the property from day one and is free to make payments during the 10-year period to suit their individual circumstances in up to three instalments.
“This simple and effective scheme is bound to attract a lot of interest so anyone hoping to secure a brand new Easy Start apartment at Axis is advised to contact us without delay.”
The Easy Start initiative is available now on selected studio apartments, the ideal choice for professionals or couples looking to set up home in this vibrant south London property hot-spot.
Boasting a contemporary design to maximise light and space, Axis studios benefit from a spacious bedroom/living area and open-plan fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood, plus a bathroom and handy storage closet off the private entrance hallway.
As an alternative to the homes available under the Easy Start scheme, one-bedroom apartments are also on sale at the development priced from only £164,995, while stunning two-bedroom apartments are priced from just £207,995.
Conveniently located in the heart of the London Borough of Lewisham, Axis enjoys easy access to an excellent indoor shopping centre and a bustling pedestrianised high street with an open-air market seven days a week.
The borough’s lively cultural scene includes The Broadway Theatre and Studio, countless restaurants, cafes and bars close at hand, and a choice of sports and leisure facilities including gyms, swimming pools, dance studios, sports fields and Green Flag parks.
Major regeneration projects are also under way to create new shops, offices, entertainment venues, transport links and road layouts, making Lewisham a ‘metropolitan centre’ within London – and a very promising opportunity for property investors and homebuyers of all kinds.
Lewisham station is just a short walk from Axis, with journey times of just 10 minutes to London Bridge or Victoria, while the Docklands Light Railway has its southern terminus in Lewisham. The London Underground is also easily accessible at nearby New Cross.
