Movement on price of TW new build
Halleee1
Posts: 2 Newbie
I was looking to buy a new build from Taylor Wimpey. TW have already started the second development in the area, but there is 1 house left for sale on the development that already has been built (has been up for sale for quite a few months), and that is the house that I want! Does anybody know what kind of movement they can do on the price of a house that they are clearly struggling to sell? I will be going in this week to enquire about the house but I want to know what to expect! The house is valued at £320k

Usually new builds will try and include things like legals/stamp duty before they reduce the price.
Go in and speak to them. If its the house you really want, you should know the price you really want it for. Go in with that in mind and see how you get on.0 -
Calculate the sale price plus the stamp duty. Take off 10% and that is something to aim for.
I did similar a few months back and ended up with 7.5% off a £600k purchase. The fact yours is the very last one puts you in a very strong position.0 -
I am wondering if I am eligible for the Help to buy scheme, if I part exchange my current property?0
