New Year resolutions can come true

Housebuilder George Wimpey has launched a new incentive to help people looking to buy a new home in 2008 at The Chesters development in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian. Customers who visit The Chesters during January will be entitled to the 'Move in for £99' scheme, which runs until the 31 January, 2008.

The scheme relieves first time buyers of all the daunting costs associated with buying a home and means that customers pay nothing more than a £99 reservation charge until the day they move in. George Wimpey covers the cost of the deposit, stamp duty and legal costs - saving the customer thousands of pounds.

Speaking at the launch of the incentive Karen Armstrong, sales and marketing director for George Wimpey East Scotland said: "If you’re anything like me I always look to make changes in the New Year. George Wimpey can help make your new home resolutions come true. Young people across the country are struggling to get on the ladder. It's difficult enough finding the deposit, let alone the legal costs and stamp duty, which first time buyers aren't always aware of.

"What this scheme brings is an opportunity for people in this situation to benefit from having the burden of these costs taken away from them in order that they can properly prepare for their mortgage and general household bills.

“This offer is available on selected plots at The Chesters and customers should check our local press advertising, or pop along to the development for more details."

The Chesters offers a great selection of properties ideal for first-time buyers including a range of two and three bedroom terraced and semi detached homes, as well as two bedroom apartments and three bedroom, three storey townhouses with prices currently starting from £167,000 for the two bedroom Lauder home.
