New homes in Leighton Buzzard on sale with FirstBuy

Taylor Wimpey is urging first-time Bedfordshire property-seekers to take advantage of the popular FirstBuy scheme at Billington Grove, its popular development of property for sale in Leighton Buzzard.

First-time buyers can secure an exceptional three-bedroom home with just a 5% deposit at Taylor Wimpey's Billington Grove development of new homes for sale in Leighton Buzzard.

The Government-backed FirstBuy initiative offers qualifying purchasers the opportunity to access selected houses for sale in Leighton Buzzard for as little as 80% of their full purchase price, including a deposit as low as 5%, subject to status.

So, first-time buyers in search of new build homes in Leighton Buzzard could secure the fabulous three-bedroom 'Coniston' at Plot 132 for 80% of its £210,000 purchase price - that's just £168,000 with a deposit of only £10,500!

Steve Rolt, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: "FirstBuy offers first-time buyers a unique opportunity to leave renting behind and step on to the property ladder in style with the superb 'Coniston' property in Leighton Buzzard.

"But interest in this stylish Leighton Buzzard property is incredibly high - so I am urging property-seekers to act now or risk missing out on this excellent route into home-ownership at Billington Grove."

Thanks to a joint loan of 20% from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Taylor Wimpey, qualifying purchasers can secure the 'Coniston' at Billington Grove with a 75% loan-to-value mortgage and a 5% deposit, subject to status. The loan is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold.

To be eligible for FirstBuy, customers must be first-time buyers with a household income below £60,000. Full details, including terms and conditions, are available from the Sales Executive.

The three-bedroom 'Coniston' home features a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, plus a spacious lounge/dining room leading to an attractive conservatory and a handy guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms and a main bathroom, while the en-suite master bedroom enjoys appealing seclusion on the top floor. Outside, the property benefits from two allocated parking spaces.

Alternatively, the three-bedroom 'Gosford' house is available at Billington Grove from as little as £190,000, while the five-bedroom 'Lavender' home is priced from just £335,000.

Billington Grove lies on the edge of the picturesque Bedfordshire countryside, yet just over a mile from Leighton Buzzard town centre and within easy reach of excellent commuter routes.

Leighton Buzzard boasts an appealing variety of independent stores, boutiques, coffee shops, pubs, restaurants and bars alongside a wide range of high street retailers and supermarkets, while open-air markets including a popular farmers' market are hosted regularly in the town.

For entertainment and leisure, Leighton Buzzard's theatre hosts a rich and varied programme of music, theatre, film, comedy, dance and family events, while the sports pitches, children's play areas and open spaces of Pages Park are all within walking distance of the development.

The town also offers a selection of baby and toddler groups, nurseries and schools for children of all ages, while Billington Grove is also ideally placed for the region's excellent transport links, with the A5 and M1 close by and regular rail services operating from Leighton Buzzard station to London Euston in 45 minutes, as well as to Milton Keynes, Northampton and Birmingham.

First-time buyers hoping to take advantage of FirstBuy's limited availability at Billington Grove should visit the Sales Centre, located at 21 Kestrel Way, off Billington Road, Leighton Buzzard, and open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm and Mondays from 1.30pm to 5pm.
