FirstBuy available with new homes in Staffordshire

Taylor Wimpey is now offering the FirstBuy initiative for first-time buyers at The Pinnacle development of new build homes in Stoke-on-Trent, and its Canalside Wharf development of apartments and houses for sale in Weston, Staffordshire.

First-time buyers have an amazing opportunity to step on the property ladder with Taylor Wimpey in north Staffordshire - thanks to the fantastic FirstBuy scheme, now available with selected new homes in Stoke-on-Trent and new homes for sale in Weston.

The leading local housebuilder currently has range of one and two-bedroom apartments, and three and four-bedroom houses for sale in Stoke-on-Trent at its sought-after The Pinnacle development, and a selection of stylish new build homes in Weston at its stunning Canalside Wharf collection.

And with selected plots available with the Government-backed FirstBuy initiative at each development of new homes for sale in Staffordshire, fast-moving first-time buyers could become the owners of their dream home much sooner than they might have expected.

All qualifying purchasers need to secure their dream home with 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 is sold.

Carl Cooke, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: "FirstBuy is making homeownership a reality for many aspiring purchasers, and now this fantastic offer is available on a limited number of properties at The Pinnacle and Canalside Wharf.

"With such a great selection of homes across north Staffordshire available with FirstBuy from Taylor Wimpey, there is no better time to be a first-time buyer."

One of the properties on sale with FirstBuy at The Pinnacle development in Stoke-on-Trent is the three-bedroom 'Wessex' semi-detached home, priced £134,995 and available under the scheme with a mortgage of only £101,246 and a 5% deposit of just £6,750.

The 'Wessex' features a spacious lounge/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden, a contemporary fitted kitchen and a handy guest cloakroom located off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, plus two further bedrooms and a main bathroom, while outside, the property benefits from a driveway with two parking spaces.

Alternatively, at the beautifully located Canalside Wharf in Weston, near Stafford, the stylishly finished one-bedroom 'Hinton' apartment is part of the FirstBuy selection and is available to qualifying buyers for only £95,999 - that's an £89,999 mortgage and a deposit of just £6,000.

The Pinnacle and Canalside Wharf developments are both located within easy reach of the picturesque Peak District's rolling countryside and many traditional villages.

Boasting an excellent location, The Pinnacle enjoys stunning views of surrounding countryside and is just a short distance from the centre of Stoke-on-Trent's great shopping and leisure opportunities.

Meanwhile, Canalside Wharf enjoys a superb setting on the edge of the peaceful former farming community of Weston, where a range of everyday local amenities is close at hand, including a post office, pub, children's playground, doctor's surgery and village hall, with plenty of opportunities for relaxing countryside walks and cycling also nearby.

The lively town of Stafford lies just a few miles away with its rich variety of shops, places to eat, leisure facilities and nightlife.

Both developments are within easy reach of local train stations, which offer quick connections to Birmingham and Manchester, while motorists will appreciate easy links to the north and south from both Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford via the M6.
