Taylor Wimpey’s free “Mortgage Myths” events kick off in Kelty this weekend

Taylor Wimpey is kicking off a series of free Mortgage Myths events from 12 noon to 4.00pm at Redmond Brae in Kelty on Sunday 29th January, followed by others at Abbey Grange in Arbroath on Sunday 5th February; and finally Fordell Lea and Pilmuir Place, Dunfermline on Sunday 12th February 2012.

At these free events, prospective homebuyers worried about the difficulties of the mortgage marketplace can meet the expert Taylor Wimpey team, along with Independent Financial Advisors for some myth-busting advice! It's an opportunity to dispel some myths about the affordability of buying a new-build home, and also gives buyers the chance to take a close look at a variety of new homes in Scotland, and hopefully find a property that meets all their requirements.

Karen Armstrong, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, says: "An Independent Financial Advisor, or IFA, is uniquely positioned to guide new buyers and those making their next move through the mortgage process. They can use their expert knowledge to ensure that all the information required is gathered and checked before an application is made and that the right mortgage product is selected dependent on the applicant's individual circumstances."

Taylor Wimpey describes these events as part of its ongoing commitment to new homebuyers and plan that the seminars will really take the mystery out of buying a new home or getting a mortgage. Through educating buyers and offering free, impartial advice, the leading housebuilder aims to demonstrate that owning and moving homes is both achievable and a good long-term investment.

As an added incentive the first 20 visitors to each event will receive a free £20 shopping voucher, and anyone reserving a property on the day at Abbey Grange and Redmond Brae will receive free carpets and appliances; whilst at Fordell Lea and Pilmuir Place buyers will receive a free furniture pack and flooring when they move.

Taylor Wimpey's Mortgage Myths events are a great opportunity for prospective homebuyers to finf out how much they can afford to borrow and look at the house types they could get for their money at a range of developments across Scotland
