National housebuilder Taylor Wimpey is working with Hillingdon Council to offer a brand new Low Cost Home Ownership scheme for first-time buyers at its Waterside Park scheme in West Drayton. The initiative means that qualifying first-timers could secure one of these brand new homes for 20% less than the full price.
A one-bedroom ‘Crest' apartment at the development, priced at £173,000, becomes available for £138,400 with the scheme. The Low Cost Home Ownership initiative is open to British first-time buyers with a good credit history but unable to afford a home without financial assistance, who are not receiving housing benefit and who have no children over the age of three. Priority is being given to applicants who live or work in the London Borough of Hillingdon.
Tim Betts, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey West London, says: "The Low Cost Home Ownership Scheme offers hope for those living or working in Hillingdon who feared homeownership would be out of their reach. Not only does the scheme mean that our new homes for sale in West Drayton at Waterside Park are available for prices that are thousands of pounds lower than their full market value, but the strict eligibility criteria also ensures residents of Hillingdon and those working in the borough aren't forced away from the area in search of an affordable place to live."
Waterside Park offers a range of one- and two-bedroom apartments that are perfect first properties for singles, couples and young families. Each is based on an open-plan layout with generous room sizes, an appealing contemporary specification and allocated parking. Residents also have the use of a communal garden. Many one-bedroom apartments also have a home office and some apartments boast an en suite to the master bedroom.
Waterside Park is set within parkland adjacent to the Grand Union Canal and two rivers. It is also close to West Drayton's main shops, its station - which offers regular services into London Paddington and out to Slough, Reading and Bristol - and road users have easy access to the M4 and M25.
