Redrow makes moving easy in Edinburgh

Selected Redrow apartments at Optima in Edinburgh are now available fully furnished.

Stylish, affordable and now available fully furnished, new Redrow homes in Edinburgh are ideal for first time buyers.

The apartments at Optima are the perfect choice for those looking to make their first step on the property ladder. And with the help of Redrow’s ‘easi:buy’ scheme they’re even more affordable. Plus with the offer of a home starter pack, customers won’t need to worry about finding extra cash to kit out their new pad.

Mary McHutchison, sales manager for Redrow Homes (Scotland), explained: “Buying a home, particularly your first, is a big step and there’s a lot to think about and pay for. With the offer of a furniture pack with all the essentials included we’re helping customers save time and money. They won’t need to worry about measuring up, organising removals or offending well intentioned friends and family who want to hand down their cast-offs.”

Items in the home starter pack include two leather sofas, a dining table and chairs, a double bed complete with mattress and bedding, a 72 piece kitchen set, kettle, toaster and even a vacuum cleaner.

To show all that can be included, Redrow is opening the doors to one of the apartments at Optima.

“Research with customer focus groups tells us that while some people have the confidence to buy ‘off plan’ others want to be able to see inside a property to appreciate the layout, quality and finish. With that in mind we’re kitting out one of the properties at Optima to show visitors the potential of the properties,” Mary commented.

With Redrow’s ‘easi:buy’ scheme customers can defer paying up to 15% of the price of selected properties at Optima. It means a two-bedroom fully furnished apartment, on the market from £120,000, could be snapped up for an initial outlay of just £102,000.

The outstanding balance can be repaid at any time over the next 10 years when the purchaser has more funds available or when they come to resell.

The ‘easi:buy’ payment is subject to terms and conditions and the deferred element is paid back at market value at the time of payment.

To help purchasers understand how ‘easi:buy’ works, Redrow has produced an easy to follow video guide to the scheme. It can be viewed online at the innovative award-winning television channel Redrow.TV.

Residents of Optima can enjoy an easy commute by car or public transport into Edinburgh city centre thanks to a frequent bus service.

To view the apartment furnished with the home starter pack, visit Optima in Ferry Road.
