FirstBuy now available with new homes in Essex

First-time buyers in search of property for sale in Essex can now take advantage of the FirstBuy scheme at Taylor Wimpey's Peninsula development of new build homes in Dovercourt.

Aspiring homeowners can step on the property ladder with ease at Taylor Wimpey's Peninsula development of new homes in Dovercourt - thanks to FirstBuy in Essex.

The leading local housebuilder currently has a variety of high-quality two, three and four-bedroom apartments and three and four-bedroom houses for sale in Dovercourt at the contemporary development of new build homes in Essex.
And a select number of houses and flats for sale in Essex from this exclusive collection are available under the Government's FirstBuy scheme - offering massive savings to make home-ownership a reality for first-time buyers.
Purchasers who qualify for Essex FirstBuy require only a 5% deposit and a 75% loan-to-value mortgage, with Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) providing a 20% loan which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage or when the property in Dovercourt is sold.

Stacy Dornan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: "A limited selection of homes at Peninsula is available to qualifying property-hunters through the FirstBuy initiative, which gives first-time buyers with total household earnings under £60,000 an easy route onto the Essex property ladder.

"Demand for FirstBuy is bound to be incredibly high - so the message really is 'Get in first, get in fast' if you want to secure a stylish home at this impressive coastal development of new homes for sale in Dovercourt."
Among the homes on sale with FirstBuy at Peninsula is the stylish three-bedroom 'Hexton' semi-detached property, available with a mortgage of just £101,246 and only a £6,750 deposit under the scheme.

Perfect for professional couples or growing families, the 'Hexton' benefits from a spacious lounge/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, plus a contemporary kitchen and a guest cloakroom located off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a main bathroom, while two allocated parking spaces can be found outside.

Alternative three-bedroom properties at Peninsula include the 'Fenton', available with FirstBuy for only £115,196, the 'Weston', which has the FirstBuy price of just £116,796, and the 'Brantham', priced £120,796 under FirstBuy.
Peninsula offers homebuyers an enviable lifestyle close to Blue Flag beaches, a wealth of restaurants, bars and cafes, a weekly market and monthly farmers' market plus a great choice of shops including an Asda supermarket on the doorstep.

In addition to windsurfing and a wide range of watersports, Dovercourt Leisure Centre in Low Road offers a swimming pool and solarium, fitness suite and floodlit pitch, while facilities for football, rugby, cricket and tennis are also local.

For those who enjoy walking, trails provide the chance to explore the nearby woodlands and meadows, while the country lanes and shoreline also make for perfect cycling, and the National Cycle Network runs from Harwich to Manningtree.
Commuters will appreciate that Dovercourt Railway Station is only half a mile from home, with regular services to Colchester in 30 minutes, Chelmsford in 60 minutes, and London Liverpool Street in 90 minutes. Road links are also excellent, with the A120 to Colchester close by, and Stansted Airport only 50 miles away.
