Glasgow ranks top in UK amongst first time buyers

Glasgow has been ranked as the best city for first time buyers to set up home and at Bellway’s Ellingwood development it’s easy to see why.

The research (Aldermore’s First Time Buyer Appeal Index) analysed 50 UK cities and ten indicators such as affordability, price growth and average deposits to determine desirability.

Located in Robyroston, Bellway has launched a new offer appealing to first time buyers providing a deposit contribution of up to 3% on selected properties.

Ellingwood features a great choice of three bedroom semi and detached homes, ideal for first time buyers, alongside a collection of four and five bedroom detached properties, and many are available to move in before Christmas.   Prices start from £283,995.

Pauline Coates, Sales Director at Bellway Scotland West, said, “Glasgow has many benefits to offer first time buyers from its diverse culture to availability of jobs and ease of commute so it’s great to see this is supported by research.

“Gathering a deposit remains the main obstacle for first time buyers and hopefully our new offer will help towards that however, we are seeing more and more people step up with the style of property that they are choosing to buy, very often skipping a flat and buying a house as their first home.”

Ellingwood is close to a range of good local amenities in the area including two supermarkets, Robroyston Retail Park, which has a 24 hour gym, and Strathkelvin Retail Park is close by.

Two showhomes and the sales office are open at Ellingwood Thursday from 10am-7pm, Friday and Monday 10am-5pm and Saturday and Sunday from 11-5pm. For further information visit www.bellway.co.uk or call 0141 413 4939.
