Last chance to buy at The Ivy

House hunters looking for a new home in the historic town of Kilmarnock need to act now to secure one of just five properties remaining at Persimmon Home’s development named The Ivy.

Located in a prominent hilltop setting The Ivy has four traditionally designed house types to choose from including two three-bedroom semi-detached properties and three four-bedroom detached properties all finished to the Persimmon Homes quality standard.

The development is perfectly placed with excellent road and rail links to Glasgow, Ayrshire and East Kilbride, just ten miles from Prestwick Airport. The development benefits from stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the sandy beaches of Irvine and the Ayrshire coastline is just 20 minutes away.

In addition to the local amenities the town offers a unique mix of culture, retail and leisure. Shoppers are spoilt for choice in the cobbled streets of the town centre.

Persimmon Homes West Scotland’s sales and marketing director, Ingrid Gahagan, said: “There has never been a better time to buy a new home with the Help to Buy scheme with prices as low as £347 per month. The incentive opens up the more affordable option of buying rather than renting with just a 5 per cent deposit.”

Scotland’s Help to Buy scheme, launched on September 30, allows buyers to purchase a new home worth up to £400,000 with a 75 per cent mortgage and five per cent deposit. An interest-free equity loan from the Scottish Government covers the balance.

For buyers with a house to sell additional incentives including Home Change and Part Exchange are also available subject to approval.

Ingrid added: “We only have five properties left at this idyllic development so house-hunters who want to secure their dream home at a competitive price need to act quickly.”

Prices at The Ivy start from £145,995 for a three bedroom semi-detached property. For more information visit the development marketing suite Thursday to Monday from 11am to 6pm, or visit persimmonhomes.com.
