Get on the property ladder at Hopefield Meadows

Taylor Wimpey’s Hopefield Meadows development in Bonnyrigg has launched a range of two bedroom apartments which are perfect for buyers looking to take a step onto the property ladder.

Designed with first-time buyers in mind, there’s a choice of four styles available and 24 individual apartments to choose from so buyers can create a space to call home that’s as individual as they are. Each apartment offers a practical layout that includes an impressive master bedroom and open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining area, as well as a well-proportioned second bedroom which is perfect for house-guests or a home office! Plus the Scott-type apartment boasts an ensuite – the ideal addition to this remarkable flat.

Hopefield Meadows is situated just 11 miles from the centre of Edinburgh on the outskirts of the bustling commuter town of Bonnyrigg. The Edinburgh bypass coupled with the Bonnyrigg bypass truly makes Hopefield Meadows an ideal location for a wide range of customers looking to commute into Edinburgh city-centre or across Midlothian and beyond.

The new range of two bedroom apartments offer excellent value for money, and using Taylor Wimpey’s popular shared equity scheme prices start from just £104,125 (normally £122,500). Using Taylor Wimpey’s shared equity scheme means that customers can buy a new home for just 85%* of the purchase price on selected plots for a limited period. This latest supply has just been released and they’re expected to sell quickly.

Homeowners have the reassurance that they own 100% of their property from day one but as they’ll already have paid a 5% deposit, they only need to find a mortgage on 80% of the value. The other 15% is provided rent and interest free by Taylor Wimpey for up to ten years, at which point purchasers repay 15% of their home’s current market value.
The scheme is flexible, allowing purchasers to repay the outstanding amount early or even make smaller one-off payments up to three times during the ten year period.

The development is also offers a superb collection of two, three and four bedroom homes proving a popular choice with families as its location in Bonnyrigg means that customers can benefit from the excellent leisure facilities nearby, ranging from country walks and outdoor activities at Vogrie Park to the local Butterfly World, plus there’s also a range of good schools on the doorstep.

Amanda Ritchie, sales manager, comments: “Now is a great time for buyers in Bonnyrigg. With prices from just £104,125 for a two bedroom apartment using our shared equity scheme you could own your first home in less time than you think. Our Hopefield Meadows development is the perfect choice for customers who’re weighing up the benefits of giving up their daily commute into Edinburgh and considering a more flexible lifestyle, and to possibly work from home.

“Plus. we’re already hearing from both new customers and existing residents who still need to commute around the region, that the new distributor road has reduced their journey times to the local towns of Roslin, Leadburn and Howgate, and that by-passing Bonnyrigg altogether saves them precious journey time in the mornings. So it’s a win-win situation.”
