Help for Maidenhead first-time buyers

For sale: One and two-bed apartments, Maidenhead, from £295,000

A number of the apartments at Shanly Homes’ Maidenhead development, Elmwood Gate, have already been sold, proving to be incredibly popular with local house-hunters.

Offering homes available under the revised Help to Buy scheme with prices from £295,000, first-time buyers have a selection of stylish one and two-bedroom apartments to choose from, all of which can be secured with a 5 per cent deposit from £14,750. And for a limited time only, Shanly is offering a complimentary flooring and window dressing package on selected plots.

The renewed Help to Buy scheme is limited to first-time buyers only, who will be able to access an equity loan funded by the Government for up to 20 per cent of the property price, interest free for the first five years.

It is only available on new build properties from a registered housebuilder with a purchase price of £437,600 or less in the South East.

The new scheme is already open for buyers to register, who will then be able to move into their new home from April onwards.

Situated just a two-minute stroll from the River Thames, the apartments at Elmwood Gate are a contemporary collection of one and twobedroom apartments.

Built to a high specification, they consist of open-plan living areas and kitchens benefiting from a number of integrated Zanussi appliances including a washer/dryer, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.

Master bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, as well as an en-suite to the two-bedroom apartments.

Many of the apartments also benefit from Juliet balconies, and all come with underfloor heating, perfect for providing maximum comfort in the winter months.

Each property also has access to at least one private off-street parking space.

Situated to the east of Maidenhead, Elmwood Gate is within easy walking distance to the town centre, home to a wide selection of high-street and independent stores, as well as the well-served train station, soon to benefit from the Crossrail service into London and beyond.

Prices at Elmwood Gate start from £295,000 with Help to Buy available for first-time buyers.
