Newbury scheme

Hi there

I've been looking at this scheme which I believe is due to be released soon. From all the literature it looks like the maximum house price will be 500k but I've spoken to a sales rep at a Taylor Wimpey development who said 200k was their maximum.!

I realise all the details haven't yet been released but I wondered if anyone knew if the criteria/details are likely to be variable between developers and developments?

Many thanks

  • There are very few details, but the Sales Exec is wrong. It is definitely up to £500k.

    You might be getting confused with the site and the scheme. It can be plausible that the developer with a Firstbuy properties can have a value of £200k there only on one site, on another site it might be £350k or even £500k. The government scheme allows up to £500k but it is up to the developer which class/size of properties which it classes as Firstbuy and would most likely be the cheaper ones.

    What is certain is that it is a complete waste of tax payers money and dangerous to the buyer.
