How to own a new home in Tamworth for less than £165,000

For first-time buyers, getting onto the property ladder can seem daunting, and with average house prices in Tamworth sitting at just over £207,000, combined with the economic impact of coronavirus, some might have put pause on their moving plans.

But in the popular suburb of Amington, in Tamworth, are hoping to make home buyers dreams of taking a first step on the property ladder a reality, with brand-new two-bedroom apartments available from just £164,000.

Redrow Homes Midlands’ Amington Garden Village development offers apartments perfect for a first home, and with the added support of Help to Buy, those in the market need just a five percent deposit.

The government-backed Help to Buy scheme means home buyers only need a deposit of five percent, and can then borrow 20 percent of the purchase price in the form of an equity loan – meaning they'll have access to more affordable interest rates typically associated with a 25 percent deposit.

The apartments feature an open-plan kitchen, dining and generous lounge space, complete with breakfast bar and high-quality appliances, perfect for entertaining friends or hosting family meals. Natural light floods in through windows on three sides of the apartments, creating an airy, open atmosphere.

Alongside the spacious master bedroom, the second bedroom is perfect for a home office, games room or nursery for a new arrival.

Elaine Cartwright, sales director at our Midlands division, said: “We are thrilled to be offering homes perfect for host of buyers at Amington Garden Village, from the wonderful apartments ideal for those wanting to step onto the property ladder, to three and four-bedroom homes from our Heritage Collection.

“We know that for first-time buyers especially, buying a home can seem like a giant leap, but with our apartments and support from Help to Buy, it could be closer than many people think. We’d encourage buyers in the local area to visit us soon to find out more and see what life could be like at Amington Garden Village.”

Upon reopening last month, Amington Garden Village made a number of modifications to allow prospective house buyers to visit safely, including offering exclusive, unaccompanied slots for viewings, screening safety videos ahead of appointments, ensuring sales consultants are always two metres away from the customer, and installing protective screens and hand sanitiser throughout the sales centre. A thorough cleanse is performed after each appointment.

Alongside the robust procedures in place to support customers wishing to physically view developments, we have also invested heavily in technology to enable a smoother virtual transaction. Through the My Redrow customer portal, buyers can view different developments and plots online, select chosen plots and even select and review optional upgrades to their home.

Last year, we launched an online reservation service which also now allows buyers to legally complete the reservation of their new home online, further minimising the need to spend time in sales centres. This service allows customers to read and review all documents from the consumer code and warranty information, through to a series of pre-reservation legal documents, at their own pace and in their own home.

Amington Garden Village offers a choice of two to four-bedroom properties. These popular homes are part of our award-winning Heritage Collection and located just three miles from Tamworth’s town centre. The development provides a rural setting with excellent commuter links, including easy reach of the A5, M42 and M6 Toll.

For those that don’t have a pre-booked appointment, we are advising visitors to call the sales centre upon arrival and wait in the allocated place until one of the team is ready to welcome them in.
