Are you finding it hard getting your foot onto the property ladder or waiting to move home but struggling with costs? Then look no further than David Wilson Mercia which is offering the new Government scheme, NewBuy, at its development in Tamworth.

The NewBuy scheme was launched in March and marked the return of 95 per cent mortgages.

Alastair Parsons, Senior Sales Manager for David Wilson Mercia, commented "NewBuy is a great scheme which can help first time buyers get onto to the property ladder but is also available to existing homeowners who want to buy a new build home and only have a five per cent deposit.

"The great thing about NewBuy is that you can purchase a new build home with a maximum price of up to £500,000 at our The Laurels development so you no longer need a huge deposit of up to 20 per cent.

"This means you could buy a new home at one of our Shropshire developments with a deposit of as little as £6,750. Home ownership has never been this easy or affordable."

David Wilson Homes currently has two-bedroom apartments for sale at its The Laurels development in Tamworth priced at £135,000. For more information please contact the sales centre on 01827 285834 open daily from 10am to 5pm.

Alternatively, please call the sales hotline on 0844 811 3322 open seven days a week from 8am to 9pm or log on to www.dwh.co.uk
