New homes in Telford are ideal for First-time buyers

Myth-busting housebuilder Taylor Wimpey is aiming to dispel popular misconceptions about the mortgage market - and reassure first-time buyers that they can afford to step onto the property ladder at one of its high-quality developments of new homes for sale in Telford.

First-time buyers who believe the Telford property ladder is out of their reach will think again if they attend Taylor Wimpey's Mortgages Made Simple Seminar.

New research reveals that many would-be buyers are deterred from looking for property for sale in Telford because they assume they won't qualify for a mortgage - but this special event on Saturday 21st January will see Taylor Wimpey set the record straight.

The seminar will take place from 11am to 3pm at the leading housebuilder's The Meadows development of houses and apartments for sale in Telford. During the event, Taylor Wimpey's team of experts will dispel popular misconceptions about mortgage lending and explain to potential first-time buyers how it could be much easier than they think to afford to purchase new build homes in Telford.

Jan Titley, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: "Latest research shows that 92% of people think it is hard for first-time buyers to secure a mortgage, and that two out of three prospective property purchasers are completely put off from applying because they fear they will be turned down*.

"But the truth is that 90% of first-time buyers are successful with their mortgage application through Taylor Wimpey.

"By attending our Mortgages Made Simple Seminar at The Meadows, would-be buyers will not only find a new property could be comfortably within their reach, but they'll be pleasantly surprised at how straightforward and stress-free the whole process can be when purchasing a Taylor Wimpey home - and they may only need a 5% deposit."

The Mortgages Made Simple Seminar will include an informative presentation from Taylor Wimpey's experienced sales team and an independent financial advisor to demystify the mortgage application process. Scheduled talks will take place at 11.30am and 1.30pm.

The advisor will also be able to assess individual circumstances on the spot, and offer advice on how it is possible to secure a brand new Taylor Wimpey home at The Meadows or at Castle Meadows in Hadley, Telford.

First-time buyers can also find out about the range of money-saving incentives offered by Taylor Wimpey. Advisors from Homebuy Agent, Orbit will also be on hand to discuss the Government-backed FirstBuy scheme which means selected new homes can be accessed by eligible purchasers for 80% of the full price, including a 75% mortgage and a 5% deposit, subject to status.

Full details of this fantastic incentive will be available at the Mortgages Made Simple Seminar, along with further information about the high-quality homes at these developments.
