Apartment Purchased Using Firstbuy

Dr. Soumick Sikdar is delighted with the two bedroom apartment he has bought at the Miller Homes’ 8teenthirty8 development, off Oldfield Road, in Maidenhead and equally pleased he found out about the Government backed FirstBuy scheme which enabled him to make the purchase.

“I had been renting but FirstBuy has now made it possible for me to own a home of my own which is great,” says Dr. Sikdar. “This is a fantastic location and the apartment is really modern, we are close to town and the station being nearby is good for me. It is my first home and I am delighted.”

FirstBuy is the Government’s purchase assistance scheme, designed to help first time buyers and others into affordable home ownership and has already helped numerous buyers onto the property ladder.

Purchasers qualifying for the scheme will have the opportunity to select one of the FirstBuy properties available from Miller Homes and will be able to purchase 100% of their home by paying up to 80% of the value now, with both Miller Homes and the Government equally funding the remaining 20% in the form of an equity loan.

“The scheme is very straightforward and I was given plenty of help and support by the Miller Homes’ staff,” added Dr. Sikdar. “My moving in date was crucial to me and I was able to move in the time frame given and it all went smoothly.”

Currently available at 8teenthirty8 are one, two and three bedroom apartments ranging in price from 186,000 to £329,950 but some of these are FirstBuy properties so, for example, a one bedroom apartment at £186,000 would cost just £148,800 now. A two bedroom apartment at £249,950 would cost just £199,960 now so do ask for full details. Many apartments are ready to move into so you could be settled and ready for the great summer of events that will be taking place during 2012.

The show apartment and marketing suite are open 10am to 5pm daily and up until 7pm on Thursday Alternatively you can telephone 0800 840 8768 or visit the web site www.millerhomes.co.uk.
