Buyers warned ‘move before Christmas or miss out’ in Fife

With thoughts turning towards Christmas, Taylor Wimpey East Scotland is urging house hunters in Fife who may be biding their time to get the best bargain to make their move now to avoid missing out if they want to be enjoying this year’s festivities in a brand new home.

The house builder, which has already sold 450 homes this year, believes the combination of low interest rates, competitive house prices and a wider range of mortgages, makes now the perfect time to buy.  Plus there are some fantastic star-buys at four of the company’s developments in Fife that will make sure there’s enough of the family budget left to splash out on Christmas this year.

For a spacious and well-proportioned four bedroom detached home look no further than the Hurstwood at Balbirnie Green on Tofthill Drive in Glenrothes which was £188,000 but is now available for £179,750.  For families looking for a bit more space, the impressive five bedroom detached Spey with a double integral garage at Burnside in Kinglassie is sure to fit the bill - on the market now for just £199,995! 

For first-time buyers or young families needing to spread their wings a three bedroom end terrace Almond at Chapelwood in Kirkcaldy could offer the perfect solution - with a star-buy price of just £129,995 it’s sure to be a winner for one buyer.  And finally, situated in the pretty coastal town of Burntisland, The Inches development offers an impressive four bedroom detached Tweed family home which was £192,500 for just £179,995!

Karen Armstrong, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland adds: “It’s no surprise that record low interest rates and more affordable property prices have been attracting savvy house hunters for a number of months now.

“With just a few final plots now left for 2009 at our developments in Fife, and reservations being taken for 2010 – if you’re in the market for a move before Christmas my advice would be to act now.  Our star-buy plots at these developments will not be available for long, so it’s the perfect chance to maximise the family budget and make sure you’re enjoying this year’s festivities in the comfort of your new home.”
