Aylesbury apartments available with FirstBuy

Taylor Wimpey is offering an affordable way for first-time buyers to step on the property ladder at the Mayberry Place development of new homes in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.

First-time buyers have the chance to secure a stunning new home for just 80% of its price at Mayberry Place, Taylor Wimpey's sought-after development in Aylesbury.

The FirstBuy scheme is available now with a strictly limited selection of two-bedroom 'Beech' apartments for sale in Aylesbury, which can be purchased by qualifying customers for an 80% price of as little as £111,960, including a 5% deposit from only £6,999, subject to status.*

Christine Scarborough, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: "FirstBuy is a fantastic scheme that eliminates the need for a big deposit and offers an easy way for first-time buyers to secure a new property in Aylesbury with an affordable mortgage at Mayberry Place.

"Interest is high in this superb Government-backed initiative, so anyone hoping to secure their ideal apartment in Aylesbury with a 5% deposit should visit our Sales Information Centre as soon as possible."

FirstBuy works through a joint loan of 20% from the Homes and Communities Agency and Taylor Wimpey, which is repayable at the end of the 25-year mortgage term or when the property is sold. To be eligible, purchasers must be first-time buyers and their total household earnings should be less than £60,000.

The two-bedroom Plot 2226 'Beech' apartment, for example, can be secured by a qualifying purchaser using FirstBuy for 80% of its £139,995 full price - that's just £111,960, including a 5% deposit of only £6,999.

This fabulous apartment features a spacious open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, an en-suite master bedroom, a second double bedroom and a main bathroom off the entrance hallway, while the property also benefits from allocated parking outside.

All new homes at Mayberry Place are completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

Mayberry Place forms part of Aylesbury's stunning new Berryfields community. Bordered by picturesque countryside, yet within easy reach of the town centre, it will comprise exceptional community facilities and employment opportunities alongside more than 3,000 homes.

There is also provision for two primary schools at Berryfields and the planned state-of-the-art Aylesbury Academy, which will specialise in science and technology.

A local centre will include a food store and ten other smaller shops, while acres of parks and green open spaces, including a riverside park area, will also feature 13 equipped play areas for families to enjoy. A community centre will provide a focal point for the residents of the new homes and a new health centre is also planned.

Berryfields will enjoy an integrated network of footpaths, cycleways and bridleways - for cyclists there will be 8km of cyclepaths within the estate which will link into the existing cycle route along the A41 into the town centre, while park-and-ride facilities from the new Aylesbury Vale Parkway railway station will be available, linking with the town's new public transport hub.

First-time buyers can find out more about securing a stunning apartment with FirstBuy at Mayberry Place by visiting the Sales Information Centre, located off Aylesbury Vale Parkway, Bicester Road, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP18 0PS, and open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5.30pm and Mondays from 2pm to 5.30pm.
