Redrow welcomes buyers to Inverkip this Easter

What better way to put a spring in your step this Easter than to find your dream new home in the coastal village of Inverkip, just as the buds of recovery begin to appear for Scotland’s property market.

Redrow is hosting two ‘open house’ days, on Saturday and Sunday (April 3 and 4) at Sylvan Brae, where the doors to a stylish selection of brand new homes will be thrown open to potential purchasers.

Among the high quality homes open for viewing is the desirable ‘Wareham’ show home. The four-bedroom design has been professionally furnished and decorated to achieve a real sense of a ‘home’ so visitors can envisage themselves living in the property.

With signs of recovery beginning to show in the Scottish property market - the value of property loans in the final quarter of last year were up 19% on figures for the same time in 2008, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders - now could be great time for buyers to take advantage of affordable prices before any future rises.

Sylvan Brae is a development of three, four and five-bedroom detached homes at Hill Farm, in Inverkip, with some stunning views towards the Firth of Clyde and the beautiful mountains of Argyll. It’s already proving popular with local families as well as Glasgow and Greenock commuters.

Mary McHutchison, sales manager for Redrow Homes (Scotland) said: “The weekend is designed to give buyers a tangible idea of what it would be like to live here at Sylvan Brae. They can look around a selection of houses and enjoy some light refreshments, while they chat to our friendly and experienced sales consultants about the homes on offer and our tailored incentives designed to make moving house as seamless as possible.

“For those with an existing property, we are giving buyers the opportunity to part-exchange. This effectively means we will act as a cash buyer for a customer’s old home, removing the problem of finding a buyer or the risk of getting stuck in a potentially long and complicated housing chain.”

There is currently a selection of four-bedroom homes available at Sylvan Brae, priced from £185,000 to £275,000.

The new homes are close to Inverkip railway station, from where the journey to Glasgow Central takes approximately 45 minutes.

The village of Inverkip has one of the largest marinas in Scotland, providing supplies and support for over 700 pleasure craft. It is home to a local store and post office, plus a well regarded primary school and library, with a full range of amenities six miles away in Greenock.

Join Redrow for the ‘open house event’ next weekend (April 3 and 4) between 10am and 5.30pm.
