Persimmon moves on up

Scotland’s leading housebuilder, Persimmon Homes has announced it is continuing to invest in the Perthshire area, with the launch of the company’s first ever Perth-based development.

“Through extensive research in the region, we saw a shortage of new housing in Perth and will therefore be satisfying this demand with a selection of some of our most favoured apartment styles,” explains Patsy McLaren, sales director for Persimmon Homes East Scotland.

Beechmount will consist of just 126, two bedroom apartments in a range of five differing styles. It is expected to reach a gross development value of £14.1 million and will launch this spring with first completions expected in autumn 2007.

Patsy continues: “We have witnessed an increase of 106 per cent in housing prices since 2001, demonstrating the growing requirement for housing in Perth. Persimmon will be offering a great range of new homes to suit a variety of househunters and at a price that is competitive and reasonably priced.”

The development is situated just a matter of from the centre of Perth and prices for the site are to be released shortly.

Patsy concludes: “This will be the first time we have decided to build in Perth and we saw a definite potential for the growth of the town. I believe that our new homes offering will be a great success among local househunters and am looking forward to the site’s launch later this year.”

Perth has a wide range of benefits, including a host of amenities, leisure facilities and its excellent commuter links to Dundee to the north and Edinburgh to the south.
