Good home deals

Published:

BARRATT East Scotland is offering great deals at one of its developments this month.

In Kemnay, the two-bedroom Durham apartment at Parklands is available for just £119,995 – £20,000 less than the property’s original £139,995 price tag.

And with the discounted price falling below the stamp-duty threshold of £125,000, the property will also save its buyer a further £1,250.

Overlooking the nearby park, the first-floor property is a self-contained apartment featuring a quality fitted kitchen, a spacious lounge with separate dining area and off-street parking facilities.

Barratt is also offering the buyer of this property the additional incentive of free carpets.

Barratt’s senior sales manager, Karen Law, said: “This is a fantastic deal on a property which is available for immediate entry and would suit a wide range of potential purchasers, from first-time buyers to downsizers.

“The £20,000 discount on the apartment’s price tag and the additional saving on stamp duty represent a real opportunity for home-buyers to kick off 2010 with a brand new home in a wonderful location close to Inverurie and within easy commutable distance of Aberdeen.”

The showhome and marketing suite at Parklands are open Thursday to Monday, from 11am until 5.30pm.

At Rothienorman, house-hunters searching for real value for money in 2010 have been snapping up the homes on offer at the recently launched Hazelmead development.

Comprising a range of detached three and four-bedroom homes, the 35 properties which make up the development are situated just 12 miles from Barratt’s award-winning Osprey Village development near Inverurie.

Yet despite their close proximity, the homes at Hazelmead are priced considerably lower than their Inverurie equivalents – a fact that hasn’t gone unnoticed by bargain-hunters.

Karen Law said: “Rothienorman is becoming an increasingly popular choice with people looking for a peaceful rural location that allows them to live within commutable distance of Aberdeen, Dyce and Inverurie.

“While the village is a further 15 minutes away from the Granite City, this additional distance is reflected in the real value for money that is available at the development, and being that bit further out of town actually appears to be a real attraction to a lot of buyers.

“The homes at Hazelmead are designed to reflect traditional building styles in the local area, and the inclusion of spacious rooms and designer bathrooms and kitchens make these properties well suited to families and first-time buyers, particularly those who are on a strict budget or are looking for real value for money.”

Current prices at Hazelmead start from £215,000.

The showhome and marketing suite at Hazelmead are open Thursday to Monday, from 11am until 5.30pm. For more information, contact 07963 223934.
