Real facts on house buying.
ONE of the country's leading housebuilders is urging buyers to get the facts when it comes to getting on or moving up the property ladder.Taylor Wimpey says buyers are confused by the barrage of conflicting reports and opinion on the state of the UK property market and some are putting off moving home as a result.
Anne Wallace, regional sales and marketing director, said: "It's understandable that people read the headlines and are uncertain as to whether or not now is a good time to buy. "But when you look at the latest facts and figures from a range of sources, it's an encouraging picture."
Taylor Wimpey points out that: The number of mortgage approvals has more than doubled in the last 12 months and net lending has increased for the third month in a row signalling increased activity in the housing market. (Bank of England) Average property prices rose by 5.9 per cent in 2009. (Nationwide) With Taylor Wimpey's Deposit Match Scheme you could double your deposit up to 10 per cent of the purchase price so you get a smaller mortgage and could secure a better interest rate.
Home affordability has improved significantly for potential first-time buyers over the past year. (Halifax First-Time Buyer Annual Review) Taylor Wimpey has helped hundreds of first-time buyers move into a new home.
Interest rates are currently at a record low.
To make the whole moving process easier and more affordable, Taylor Wimpey is offering a wide range of incentives and financial schemes - subject to terms and conditions -on selected homes, including partexchange, shared equity and stamp duty paid.
