LEADING housebuilder Taylor Wimpey will deliver more than £300,000 investment in local community facilities as part of a major new homes development which is now open in Brownhills, West Midlands.

Taylor Wimpey’s Silver Waters, located just a few minutes’ walk from Brownhills town centre, is delivering 36 high-quality homes – plus financial contributions for the local area totalling £316,000.

The money being pledged by Taylor Wimpey Midlands in association with the development includes £104,689 for new play areas, £99,062 towards education provision, £60,000 for the local authority to spend in the community and £52,000 towards healthcare, all for the benefit of local people.

On top of these contributions, the development will bring additional investment to the local community through the New Homes Bonus initiative. Under this scheme, the Government match-funds the council tax raised from the building of each of the development’s 36 new homes, with the money provided directly to the local authority.

Anne Wallace, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Every single new home we build at Taylor Wimpey is part of a community and we are committed to ensuring Silver Waters offers much more than just high-quality properties for local people.

“Our investment of over £316,000 represents a significant contribution to local facilities and will deliver wide-spread benefits to the community with improvements to education, play facilities and healthcare.”

There is a superb choice of three and four-bedroom homes now on sale at Silver Waters from only £174,995.

The four-bedroom ‘Longworth’ detached house, for example, is priced from £249,995 and features a well-proportioned living room and a spacious kitchen/dining room with a utility area and French doors opening out to the private rear garden, plus a guest cloakroom completing the ground-floor layout.

Upstairs, the landing leads to an en-suite master bedroom, three further bedrooms and a main bathroom, while there’s an integral garage and driveway parking outside.

The Help to Buy equity loan scheme is available at Silver Waters, enabling eligible first-time buyers and existing homeowners to secure a Government loan for 20% of the full price of their new home – meaning they only require a 75% loan-to-value mortgage and a 5% deposit.

The scheme is available on new-build properties up to the value of £600,000 and there is no salary cap for homebuyers taking advantage of the initiative.

Silver Waters is an exceptional collection of just 36 private homes, which is at the forefront of the exciting regeneration of Brownhills, and benefits from a convenient location within easy reach of a host of town centre amenities, including shops, cafes and restaurants, and a large Tesco superstore.

Schools for children of all ages are located close to the new homes, while commuters will appreciate the town’s good public transport links and close proximity to the A5, the A461, the M6 Toll and the M6 for connections around the Midlands.

To find out more about the new homes at Silver Waters, property-seekers can visit the Sales Centre, located off Silver Street, Brownhills, West Midlands, WS8 6EB, and open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm. The Sales Executive can also be contacted on 01543 223164.
