Quality of life in Scotland

So it’s been revealed that the best place to live in Britain is Scotland due to its affordable housing. Not only is the north of the border a popular last home relocation destination, the market is also bustling with new developments. It is expected that this will cater for much growth in the housing market in 2007/08.

Not only is Scotland an ideal destination for the property buyer in terms of cost, but also because of the beautiful surroundings many of the towns and cities are close to.

And a collection of sort-after sites by Charles Church will be music to the ears of potential buyers looking to relocate to the borders and beyond, with spacious designs located in picturesque locations.

At Dalkeith, a town a short commute away from Edinburgh, is Waverley Gardens, a site looking down onto the town and beyond capturing part of the Edinburgh skyline and Arthur’s seat.

The site has already proved extremely popular with all of the 16 properties in Phase 1 completely sold out and a new release of one and two bedroom properties available for release, which is ideal for the couple looking to retire of for first time buyers. However, downsizing doesn’t have to mean that you are jeopardizing space, with Charles Church, having space and hand-in-hand with that comfort, is key to the design.

Dalkeith is a key location for anybody wishing to buy property in Scotland, it’s surrounded by countryside, close to good quality amenities and has good access to the M8, across to Glasgow and the A1.

Evidence of the success of Charles Church apartments in Scotland was witnessed at their site at Wallace Court, in Newlands, Glasgow - a salubrious part of the city. Two blocks comprising of 18 units in total, sold in very quick time, despite the fact the location of the homes was not in the centre.

In fact most of the buyers were older and appreciated the spacious floor layout. Some of the apartments with kitchens large enough to dine in and also in a quiet leafy location.

However, it’s not just apartments that grab the attention of the target market. At their new Antonine Gardens site, Charles Church are offering ideal smaller traditional family properties for those moving down from say a large five-bed family home.

Falkirk is booming after the introduction of its multi-million pound regeneration in 2002, and is set for major expansion over the next few years, appealing to many potential buyers.

So if you want to wind down, or raise a family in idyllic surroundings, it’s worth taking a look at Scotland and Charles Church.
