Five fantastic reasons to buy at Bonnington

13th October 2011 Print

Edinburgh househunters keen to move into a new build property should get down to Miller Homes' Bonnington development as quick as they can as there are only five opportunities left to buy a luxury two bedroom city centre apartment at an affordable price.

Located off Bonnington Road at Tinto Place, the five remaining apartments - priced at £157,000 - are in move-in condition. That means, in as little as 14 days once all the legal work has been completed, househunters could be living in their new dream home.

But, to bring the move a step closer, Miller Homes' incentives at the development are worth taking advantage of. Through MiWAY - the housebuilder's equity loan scheme where you own 100 per cent of the property, but only pay for 80 per cent - the price of the apartments will only cost £125,600.

To take the uncertainty and stress for those moving home, MiSWAP enables buyers to swap their old home for one of the Bonnington apartments, which is ideal for those looking to upsize, downsize or simply move to a new build home.

Anne Marie Britton, sales director at Miller Homes Scotland East, said: "Buying a new home offers so many benefits as opposed to buying a second-hand property. Everything brand new, modern and there for you - all you have to do is move your furniture in. The fact that the building has a 10 year guarantee provides additional peace of mind, as does the thought of low maintenance.

"Another added benefit is new build homes are energy efficient, resulting in lower utility bills. Not only could homeowners be around £500 a year better off, but they are helping to reduce their carbon footprint, so it's a win-win situation."

Jonathan Fair, Chief Executive of industry body Homes for Scotland, added: "Whether out of necessity or desire, thousands of Scots are still buying and moving home. Whilst affordability has improved across the board, those who buy newly-built homes are getting the better deal by far.

"Already much cheaper to run in comparison to their older counterparts, continuing low interest rates, record customer satisfaction levels, the peace of mind of a ten year warranty all mean there's actually never been a better time to buy a new home."

The Bonnington apartments combine convenience with uncompromisingly modern styling, and the variety of interior layouts and features add immensely to their appeal. Most apartments have French windows adding a light, fresh ambience to the living area, and in many of the homes, there are twin and dual aspect windows that create a truly impressive, luxurious effect.

Bonnington is also well placed for access to open green spaces, with local parks in walking distance and the renowned Royal Botanic Gardens just over a mile westwards, offering a wide variety of retreats from the pace of city life.
