New home builders offer deals on older properties

It’s one of the ironies of the current housing market that anyone looking for a bargain on an established home should not overlook builders of new properties. Through the popularity of its part-exchange programme, the joint venture development between Gladedale and Bryant Homes, The Strada, has acquired a portfolio of previously owned properties across Edinburgh available to move into immediately.

Throughout Edinburgh, current homes include two and three bedroom apartments in city centre locations. For example the attractive two bedroom apartment on Easter Road priced £135,000 includes allocated parking while the ground floor two bedroom flat priced £129,995 in Ferry Gait boasts communal gardens and residents’ parking.

These properties have come onto the market because buyers have taken advantage of great prices on new homes at the moment and swapped their existing homes for brand new ones.

As a result, their former properties are now available and priced for a quick sale. Buyers should know too that leading housebuilders are relatively choosy about the properties they accept for part exchange so the portfolio consists of homes in marketable areas but with none of the hassles of long moving-in dates.

Julie Watson, Sales Manager Bryant Homes, commented: “Part-exchange is an excellent way for us to help buyers get the move they want. It’s a pleasure for us to take all the hassle away and provide a way for people to move into their dream property without worrying about having to sell their own first.

“We currently have a selection of one-off homes available, offering great opportunities for buyers looking for a keen price in Edinburgh.

“We are very proud of our new home developments and the current housing market is providing opportunities across the board and potential buyers should make sure they check out the full range of options available to them as these deals won’t last forever.”

The Strada development, situated just off Ferry Road in the Scottish capital, showcases a striking selection of three bedroom townhouses and two and three bedroom apartments. Visitors can experience what life at the development is like by viewing the townhouse showhome and the show apartment which epitomise family comfort and stylish city living.

The Strada also has a wide range of incentives, including Shared Equity, Part Exchange and Mortgage Subsidy available on selected new properties. You can also reserve your new home for just £99. For full details visit Thestrada.com.
