Market confidence returns in East Kilbride

Leading developer, George Wimpey’s return to East Kilbride was a roaring success with an impressive run of reservations - one every other day - in the first week.

This brand-new exclusive development of just 32 executive four bedroom detached family homes in its’ first phase, has really captured a real up-surge in the local property market, with customers feeling more confident and optimistic in making the move to a new home,

Located just off Lindsayfield Road, George Wimpey’s The Laurels development boasts an incredible choice of eight styles of spacious four bedroom homes ranging in size from a well-proportioned Westdale (1,010 sq ft) up to the remarkable Rosedale (1,587 sq ft), as well as a great location in East Kilbride making it a clear choice for commuters into Glasgow city centre.

Many of the new homes offer impressive features such as a contemporary fully-fitted kitchen, master bedroom with luxurious en-suite facilities, and spacious living areas. There’s also practical areas such as a utility room and a family-room in many of the homes – making this development a ‘must-see’ for families looking for maximum space to get on with every-day living! Prices start from £185,000, and are appealing to a wide range of customers looking to make their dream move to a new home.

The development is supported by a good local transport infrastructure - with the M8 and M74 offering convenient routes into the heart of the city centre or around the rest of the region. The local train stations at Hairmyres or East Kilbride itself offer a regular service into Glasgow’s Central station – a regional hub for services to the rest of Scotland and beyond. Plus a good bus network offers a great way to get round the local area.

With customers’ confidence on the up, and initial feedback so upbeat, it’s fantastic to see such a positive start to a new development as Audrey Ross, sales and marketing director adds: “Given the ongoing challenges we face in the property market, securing such an encouraging start to this development signals a real change in customers’ confidence.

“We’re seeing customers excited and positive about a prospective move to a new home, and I think this gives us a clear indication that there are buyers out there who’re ready to get on the move. Plus customers seem to be more comfortable with the extended production schedule that’s in place at this development. It means their new home will be ready in the New Year, rather than the next month or so, giving buyers more time to save up additional funds towards a deposit, to shop-around for the best mortgage deal and of course make arrangements for an existing property – whether that’s using our 100% part-exchange offer or independently selling in the market.”

A launch offer of 100% part-exchange - guaranteed’ aims to give customers the confidence they need to make the move to a new home by securing 100% of the value of their current home. It’s specifically geared to give buyers peace of mind that they’re maximising the current value of an existing property, whilst adding confidence to make a move without additional financial compromises in order to afford their move.

Plus, George Wimpey can also give buyers access to free, independent financial advice, and the benefit of our expertise in the property market will help to alleviate the normal stress and worry associated with moving home, as we work with buyers to make their dream move to a new home a reality.

The Laurels is open from Thursday to Monday from 11.00am-5.30pm.
