Golden opportunity for homebuyers in Gilmerton

Bellway Homes Ltd (Scotland East) is offering a golden initiative for local house hunters looking to buy a new home at their West Edge Meadows development in Gilmerton.

Located on Lasswade Road just five miles from Edinburgh city centre, West Edge Meadows is just a short distance from local shops and attractions including Dalkeith Country Park.

In partnership with Edinburgh Council, the Golden Share initiative offers buyers the opportunity to purchase a home under the market value subject to certain criteria.

The unique offer is available on the Benbecula, a three bedroom mid and end terraced home and to qualify home buyers have to prove that they have a local connection, are in need of a property that size and are unable to afford the full market value.

Qualifying buyers are then able to purchase the property for 80% of the market value but still retain 100% ownership of the property. When the property is re-sold the price will remain capped at 80% of market value.

There are four Golden Share properties currently available, the Golden Share price for the Benbecula starts from £211,995.

Lynn Pringle, Sales Director Bellway Homes Ltd (Scotland East), said: “The Golden Share initiative is a great opportunity for local people who want to move to a larger energy efficient home and are keen to stay in the area.”

A stylish property, the Benbecula has a front facing kitchen with breakfast area, living room with French doors leading out to the garden and downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs the master bedroom is an impressive 15ft long and there are two other bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom.

Also currently available at West Edge Meadows are a number of three bedroom semi-detached homes and four bedroom properties with prices ranging from £292,995 to £410,995.

West Edge Meadows sales office and showhomes are open Monday and Friday, 10am to 5pm, Thursday 9am-6pm and Saturday and Sunday 11am-5pm. Site closed Tuesday and Wednesday. To find out more about these new homes call 0131 341 5769 or go to www.bellway.co.uk.
