Expert help available to secure new homes in Norfolk

Taylor Wimpey is giving Norfolk property-seekers the chance to learn more about the Government-backed FirstBuy scheme at its Beaufort Park development of new homes for sale in Carbrooke this weekend.

First-time buyers can discover everything they need to know about purchasing a new home during a special event being hosted at Taylor Wimpey's stunning Beaufort Park development of new build homes in Carbrooke, Norfolk.

The leading housebuilder's FirstBuy Weekend, taking place at the Sales Information Centre on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd October, will enable property-seekers in search of apartments or houses for sale in Norfolk to go through all the fine details involved in moving house with experienced professionals.

Taylor Wimpey's team will be available to answer any burning questions home-hunters may have about getting on to the property ladder, including how to secure the best mortgage deal for their ideal property for sale in Norfolk, and how to make their finances stretch further.

They will also offer property-seekers all the information they need about the Government-backed FirstBuy initiative, which lets qualifying purchasers secure selected new homes for sale in Norfolk at Beaufort Park for just 80% of their full value, including a 75% mortgage and a 5% deposit, subject to status.

Stacy Dornan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: "Our FirstBuy weekend offers the perfect opportunity for would-be homeowners hoping to step on the property ladder with ease. Along with providing access to independent financial and legal advice, we will explain to visitors - particularly those who think they can't afford to buy a home - how easy this fantastic scheme could make owning one of our stunning new build homes in Norfolk at Beaufort Park.

"Demand for FirstBuy is bound to be incredibly high, so the message to first-time buyers in Norfolk hoping to choose a stylish brand new home with the initiative has to be 'Get in first, get in fast' during FirstBuy Weekend to avoid disappointment."

FirstBuy works through a 20% joint loan from Taylor Wimpey and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold, and the scheme is open to first-time buyers with total household earnings under £60,000.

This means, for example, that the stylish two-bedroom 'Ardleigh' coach house-style apartment, priced £100,000, can be accessed by qualifying first-time buyers for an 80% FirstBuy price of just £80,000, including a deposit of only £5,000! These superb homes feature a spacious living room, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom, while the property also benefits from a car port outside.

Alternatively, three-bedroom houses at Beaufort Park are available for as little as £133,995, while four-bedroom homes are priced from just £179,995.

Beaufort Park enjoys a peaceful woodland location between the quiet village of Carbrooke and the attractive market town of Watton, which offers shops catering for everyday needs and a choice of nursery and primary schools.

For a wider choice of shopping and leisure, Thetford is only 15 miles from the development and the city of Norwich is less than 25 miles away by road.

Firstbuy Weekend at Beaufort Park takes place on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd of October between 10am and 5pm at the Sales Information Centre, located off Norwich Road, between Watton and Carbrooke.
