Now is the time to buy in Lanark says Redrow

With its beautiful semi-rural location and impressive homes, Heather Lea in Lanark has proved extremely popular with savvy home hunters looking for an attractive new property. And with quality-built homes at lower than ever prices and a choice of cash saving offers, now could be a better time than any to move.

Currently buyers at Heather Lea, set off Hyndford Road can reserve now at today's prices but not worry about moving in and making the mortgage repayments until summer 2009.

Also edging that dream move into sight is Redrow's assisted move scheme whereby, quite simply, you find the new Redrow home of your choice, Redrow appoints an estate agent to sell your old house and manages the process, and you move into your new home with Redrow paying the estate agent's fees at the end of the day.

For those in more of a hurry, Redrow also has homes available to move into before Christmas.

Diana Newton, sales director for Redrow Homes (Scotland) comments: "It's a time of opportunity for homebuyers to take advantage of some attractive deals that are currently available and secure themselves a brand new home that should also save them money on their heating and fuel bills.

"With some excellent incentives and unbelievably low prices available on new-build - including a massive reduction taking the five-bedroom detached Wharf from £306,000 to just £266,000 - it's definitely a buyer's market. But with this particular discount limited for pre-Christmas entry, buyers will have to be quick.

"Our ability to help with a deposit, stamp duty and other moving costs or to maybe take a customer's existing property in part-exchange, gives new homes the edge over the second hand market in the current climate."

Diana adds: "Issues such as selling an existing property can often prove to be a hurdle in the search for a new home, which is why we try to help our customers as much as possible and do whatever we can to facilitate their move through incentives like part exchange and assisted move."

Within walking distance of Lanark town centre and located between Glasgow and Edinburgh, Heather Lea is convenient for the motorway network and there are excellent train services, making it the perfect rural retreat for commuters.

And there is plenty to do in your spare time as well with a wide choice of golf clubs in the area, and a leisure centre in town as well as plenty of opportunities for countryside walks and fishing.

Current availability at Heather Lea includes three, four and five-bedroom homes priced from £178,995 to £266,000.
