Exciting times ahead for Edinburgh homebuyers

House hunting in Edinburgh has just got even better with the launch of Miller Homes’ prestigious new development Varcity North. The award-winning housebuilder built on its success in the city with the launch of the exciting new development last weekend – and with prices starting from just £119,000, there has been a flurry of interest in the site.

Based near to the award-winning Varcity South, Varcity North offers prospective buyers an exciting choice of individually-designed one and two-bedroom apartments, with each of the ultra-stylish properties benefiting from car parking. Situated midway between the Leith Waterfront and the city centre, the development is being sold from Varcity South and combines vibrant, urban living with quick access riverside walks along the Water of Leith.

Anne Marie Britton, Sales Director for Miller Homes Scotland East, said: “Varcity North is Miller Homes’ latest venture in Edinburgh – a location where we have successfully tapped into the demand for high quality, contemporary apartments. Varcity North sees Miller continuing its investment into this prime quarter of the city, putting the area on the map as a sought-after new residential address for first time buyers, upwardly mobile professionals and discerning buyers who want to enjoy all the convenience of a low maintenance apartment lifestyle.

“In such a difficult economic climate, many would-be buyers may think they can’t afford a new home; but with the launch of Varcity North, Miller is urging potential purchasers to think again and to visit our sales office to see how we can help to get them moving now. With prices starting at a very competitive £119,000 we also have a range of tried and tested incentives available on selected plots, designed to make homeownership more affordable and to put these stylish new homes within reach of a wider range of buyers.”

Prices at Varcity North start from around £119,000 or from a competitive £89,250 with Miller Homes’ hugely successful shared equity scheme MiWay†, which is available on selected plots. Eligible purchasers who take advantage of MiWay† receive a loan from Miller Homes for up to 25 per cent of the purchase price of their selected property, leaving them to arrange a mortgage for the more affordable remaining amount. To further add to its appeal, MiWay† buyers own 100 per cent of their home.

Alternatively, Miller Homes’ Deposit Match incentive is perfect for those who do not think they have enough cash saved for a deposit lump sum, or who simply want to cut the time spent saving by half. Deposit Match sees Miller Homes matching the funds buyers have set aside, up to a maximum value of five per cent of the property’s total purchase price.

Another option is Miller Homes’ exciting new Family Deposit* incentive, which has been designed to help first time buyers and reward generous family members with an instant windfall. Family Deposit* enables family members to fund deposits of up to 20 per cent of the property purchase price. Unlike other schemes in the marketplace, the family member will earn the equivalent of five years’ interest at five per cent on their investment, which will be paid in a lump sum to them when the purchaser legally completes the sale.

Each individual apartment at Varcity North will feature an internal specification that befits the standard of luxury living demanded by today’s style-conscious apartment dwellers. Fitted kitchens come complete with a choice of kitchen units and worktops, subject to build stage, together with a stainless steel electric oven, gas hob and extractor hood. Bathrooms are styled with contemporary white sanitaryware, chrome taps and ceramic wall tiles.

Apartments benefit from a ready-installed communal Sky+ digital aerial; and safety and security measures including a door-entry system and double locking front doors provide peace of mind for all homeowners.

The Varcity South sales office will be selling these stunning properties and is open daily from 11am to 6pm. 

*Miller Homes’ usual terms and conditions apply. Incentives are available on selected plots and for a limited time only.
