New homes in Oldbury are ideal for first-time buyers

Leading housebuilder Taylor Wimpey is hosting a special event explaining how simple and affordable it can be for first-time buyers to secure their place at its Cedar Drive development of property for sale in Oldbury, West Midlands.

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

New research reveals that many would-be buyers are deterred from purchasing new homes for sale in Oldbury because they assume they won't qualify for a mortgage - but this special event on Saturday 4th February will see Taylor Wimpey set the record straight.

The seminar will take place from 11am to 3pm at Samsons Banqueting Suite in Rood End Road, Oldbury, opposite Taylor Wimpey's popular Cedar Drive development of houses for sale in Oldbury.

There, experts from the leading housebuilder 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 their very own Taylor Wimpey Oldbury property at Cedar Drive.

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, would-be buyers will not only find a new Cedar Drive 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, with scheduled talks taking 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 Cedar Drive.

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.

A stylish selection of high-quality properties is currently on sale at Cedar Drive, with two-bedroom starter homes priced from just £124,995 and three-bedroom houses from as little as £151,000.

The Mortgages Made Simple Seminar takes place at 11am to 3pm on Saturday 4th February at Samsons Banqueting Suite, Rood End Road, Oldbury, B69 4HT.

Customers can also find out about the new homes available to buy at Cedar Drive by visiting the Sales and Marketing Suite, located off Rood End Road, Oldbury, and open daily from 10am to 5pm.
