Taylor Wimpey in Tyne and Wear

​In 2007, George Wimpey and Taylor Woodrow joined forces to form Taylor Wimpey. It is one of the largest housebuilders in the UK, with 24 regional offices across England, Wales and Scotland.

It builds homes suitable for all buyers, from those looking to get on the property ladder, to growing families, to downsizers. The company builds developments in all locations, with one- and two-bedroom apartments in the city, to five-bedroom detached houses in the countryside. As well as the homes, it also provides millions of pounds worth of infrastructure, including roads, community facilities and sewers.

To help its customers, Taylor Wimpey has several special offers to allow customers to purchase their dream new home. It offers the Help to Buy scheme, which can also be used with its easymover scheme, where the housebuilder will help the purchaser sell their previous home. It also offers a Part Exchange service and an exclusive armed forces discount. It also offers buyers the chance to choose the personal touches for their new home, from door handles and tiles to kitchen units and carpets.

The housebuilder aims to build homes that fit into the surroundings and are not harmful to the local environment. Responsible urban planning is essential to the company, and it looks to plan developments around open spaces, and provide safe cycle and pedestrian pathways.
