Property firm Taylor Wimpey are aiming to help first-time buyers on to the housing ladder by holding a funding open day at their latest construction.

Financial experts will be on hand at the new 793 London Road development to help aspiring homeowners discover how to afford their first property.

Taylor Wimpey director Marie-Claire Travis said: “Many people have concerns about purchasing a home of their own, particularly about whether or not they can afford to buy or if they will be able to get a mortgage.

“By ‘meeting the experts’, would-be first-time buyers can receive clear-cut answers to any questions they might have to help them make informed decisions – as well as find out more about the great-value homes at 793 London Road.”

The advice sessions will be held between 11am and 6pm at the Thornton Heath apartments on February 27.
