From baby steps to first foot on the property ladder

Having caught the attention of Glasgow’s young professional market, Miller Homes’ current apartment developments, Mariners Wynd and The Headline Building, are also catching the eye of parents looking to help their children get their first foot on the property ladder.

“Both located within high amenity areas, Mariners Wynd and The Headline Building are ideal as investment properties, particularly for parents seeking quality accommodation for their children during their student years,” said Joanne Casey, sales director, Miller Homes Limited (Scotland West).

She added, “Not only does this provide the ‘bank of mum and dad’ with their own pension nest egg, but it is also gives their offspring a realistic chance of independent living, both while at university and beyond.”

Located off Paisley Road West on Sussex Street, Mariners Wynd is near Kinning Park Subway Station, making the city’s three universities and innumerable colleges very accessible from this location.

Offering a mix of two-bedroom apartments, each provides a convenient and modern layout that includes a high specification finish.

For those of whom Mariner’s Wynd becomes their abode during university, gone are weekends at launderette or microwaving noodles for dinner, as each kitchen comes with leading brand name appliances, including a washer/dryer and stainless steel oven and hob.

The development has a range of neighbouring amenities including Springfield Quay and the Kingston Bridge is easily reached, offering access to the main motorway networks.

Prices at Mariners Wynd are released from £141,000. For further information, contact Miller Homes sales centre at Tower View, Crookston, on 0141 883 9572.

Situated on Albion Street in the heart of Glasgow’s Merchant City, and minutes from Strathclyde University, The Headline Building is also perfect for the parental investor, as well as young professionals and mature downsizers that the development continues to appeal to.

Providing a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom duplexes and three-bedroom penthouses, 80% of the first release of properties has now sold.

Each apartment features a first-class interior specification that pushes the boundaries of the 21st century living to the next level. Large, contemporary glass windows allow natural light to illuminate each room, enabling buyers to make the most of their cityscape vistas.

The Merchant City offers an abundance of chic bars and restaurants; whilst aspiring fashionstas will feel at home amongst the endless shopping outlets such as Cruise and the Italian centre.

Prices for properties at The Headline Building are from £179,000 on the current release. For further information, visit millerhomes.co.uk.
