Why rent when you can buy at Kelvindale

Get a move on to Taylor Wimpey's Kelvindale Glade development in Glasgow.

Owning a home has many clear advantages over renting, however the question of whether to rent or buy continues to challenge prospective buyers as they consider their next move. It’s a conundrum facing many young people who’re looking at the prospect of costly monthly rentals with nothing to show for this money.

Renting provides no return on the money paid to a landlord each month, and offers none of the benefits that buyers can expect from having made a long-term investment.
But choosing whether to buy or rent isn’t even just about making a long-term financial commitment – it needs to be an investment in day-to-day living and how this move will fit into your lifestyle.

Making a successful move within the new-build property market - whether it’s for the first time or not - is down to a combination of factors. Prospective buyers need to pick the right type of home that’s in the best location for their needs, whilst also taking advantage of the financial incentives offered by housebuilders, banks and mortgage companies.

Considering your options on whether to rent or buy can seem pretty daunting as Audrey Ross, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland explains: “Getting on the property ladder or indeed simply moving home can seem a daunting and costly business, but Taylor Wimpey West Scotland is committed to making buying and moving to a new Taylor Wimpey home or apartment as convenient and easy as possible.

“After all, why pay thousands of pounds on rent with nothing to show for it at the end when for a similar monthly outlay your home could be your own.”
“A new property at Taylor Wimpey’s Kelvindale Glade in Glasgow gives buyers a great chance to own their own home without the typical ‘west-end’ price tag. Plus its proximity to both Glasgow University and Gartnavel Hospital has made it attractive to a wide range of buyers including parents looking to financially support their children with a property purchase, as well as student nurses and young doctors working, living and studying in the area.”

Kelvindale Glade is within easy travelling distance from the city centre of Glasgow, and offers an exciting choice of one and two bedroom apartments from just £129,995. And with 80% of the development now sold prospective buyers should make their move sooner rather than later.

And cashflow doesn’t need to be in short supply if you buy a new home at this development with buyers currently able to cash-in on a superb deal that will pay them upto £800 a month* towards their mortgage for one year.

This well-positioned development boasts a quiet, waterside location with the River Kelvin, the Forth and Clyde canals and their peaceful waterways and walkways just a few minutes away, plus an apartment here is within easy reach of Glasgow’s popular West End.

A contemporary two bedroom show apartment reveals a spacious and well-proportioned property that’s been carefully and thoughtfully styled to show prospective customers just how comfortable life could be here at Kelvindale Glade.

For more information on Taylor Wimpey’s Kelvindale Glade visit the development which is open Thursday to Monday from 11am-5.30pm.

* Monthly payment will not exceed 5% of purchase price paid.
