First time buyer initiative at The Strada

Help for first time buyers at The Strada in Edinburgh.

‘The Strada’ in North Fettes, Edinburgh has launched an initiative designed to get first time buyers on the move in the Capital.

As well as the development’s shared equity scheme, buyers can take advantage of free flooring throughout their apartment, £500 towards legal fees, as well as integrated appliances in the kitchen. This unique offer is available for just a limited time on selected plots. So with just a handful of two bedroom apartments now available in the current phase, including the luxurious two bedroom show apartment – it’s a really good opportunity to check out what’s available.

The impressive specification in each of the remaining two bedroom apartments boasts a central hallway that welcomes buyers into the property that effortlessly flows to reveal two well-proportioned bedrooms including a master with en-suite. The open-plan living space is well-balanced to ensure there’s also space for informal dining that’s great for entertaining guests, or a quiet informal supper. There’s also an impressive ‘Manhattan’ kitchen in each apartment that’s sure to inspire the cook of the house!

Inspired by the Italian for ‘street’ - The Strada is a joint venture between Bett Homes and Taylor Wimpey and is a flourishing development situated off Ferry Road, in North Fettes. The bustle and energy of Stockbridge is just minutes away, whilst the tranquillity of neighbouring Trinity creates a living environment at The Strada that offers the best of all worlds.

The final selection of two bedroom apartments in the current phase, offers a unique opportunity for first-time buyers looking for chic city-centre living and all it has to offer without the matching price-tag. With the opportunity to take a step onto the property ladder for only £127,500* for a two bedroom ground floor flat using the popular shared equity scheme, then a visit to check out the final few apartments in this phase is a must.

Karen Armstrong, is sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland:

“The introduction of our additional benefits on selected plots will appeal to first time buyers by helping them to reduce their overall costs of getting onto the property ladder.

“When buyers compare the cost of buying a second-hand property, or renting a similar property, they can see for themselves the benefits of buying new are extremely attractive. From no maintenance or the need to renovate, to energy-efficient appliances and the choice of fixtures and fittings, plus the chance to take your first step onto the property ladder - buyers will find plenty of advantages of buying a new apartment at The Strada. More than ever before, buyers need their hard-earned cash to work harder, so it makes sense to swap the amount of money they’d normally pay in monthly rent into a property investment.

“Plus, a further phase of one, two and three bedroom apartments will be released in the next few weeks, so there’s still plenty of good reasons to check out what we’re building at The Strada.”

Opening hours at the development are Thursday to Monday from 10.00am-5.30pm.

* Price based on shared equity incentive.
