A new Mapmakers home for just £342* per month

First time buyers can now find their new home at Mapmakers in Southampton for as little as £342* per month.

Mapmakers, a development of spacious 2 or 3 bedroom houses and modern 1 and 2 bedroom apartments from Kier Living, is situated next to the new Ordnance Park at Romsey Road, 3 miles outside the city centre and just 5 minutes from the M27.

Named in celebration of the site’s heritage as the former headquarters of the Ordnance Survey, Mapmakers comprises 66 homes alongside two on site shops.

Jon McDiarmid, sales and marketing director, said: “The homes here at Mapmakers offer incredible value with one-bed apartments starting at £145,000. With a personal deposit of £7,250 this can mean mortgage payments of as little as £342 a month when taking advantage of the Government’s Help to Buy scheme.

“House hunters snapped up the first homes to be released for sale in February with an impressive 20% of the entire development sold on the first weekend.

“A new home has never been more affordable and buyers so far have included both doctors and nurses, as the development is within walking distance of the city’s two hospitals. There has also been interest from professionals and university students. Purchasers have found that, in many cases, buying with Help to Buy has meant that monthly mortgage payments are less than renting a similar property.”

The next milestone will see Kier Living opening the impressive show home and on-site marketing suite at Mapmakers in June and the first Mapmakers’ residents moving in this autumn.

A second release of new homes are now for sale with 1 bedroom apartments currently available from £145,000, 2 bedroom apartments from £170,000, and 3 bedroom houses from £295,000.

And it is not just first time buyers who can benefit from the Government’s Help to Buy Scheme which covers all Mapmakers properties.
