CALA Homes Press Release

CALA Homes is stamping out stamp duty at its popular Canniesburn development in Bearsden.

The premium housebuilder is currently offering buyers stamp duty paid on selected homes at the development, and the latest range of incentives also means a number are stamp duty exempt.

A joint venture between CALA and Miller Homes, the award-winning development in the much sought after Glasgow suburb, has continued to attract a wide range of buyers with its eclectic selection of spacious new build, art deco and refurbished apartments featuring the best in contemporary design.

The development has a superb choice of luxury two-bedroom apartments, including plot 145, a fabulous two-bedroom apartment located in Rowan House, which has the added benefit of a separate study. This 997 sq ft apartment features an open plan living/dining/kitchen with high specification, stainless steel appliances by Siemens and master bedroom with en-suite was £199,000 and is now available at £175,000* and is stamp duty exempt.

For those looking for a slightly larger home, plot 226 in Oak View, a 1040 sq ft two-bedroom apartment with patio and courtyard – ideal for entertaining or as a child’s play area – was £205,000 and is now £185,000, including stamp duty paid, floorcoverings, curtains and light fittings*. The apartment features a spacious living and dining room, with separate European designer kitchen by Impuls from ALNO, luxurious bathroom and a master bedroom with en-suite and a second bedroom.

Linda Peter, Sales and Marketing Director, said: “The raising of the stamp duty threshold to above £175,000 is great news for homebuyers and CALA has introduced incentives to either bring homes to below the threshold or offer stamp duty paid to make purchasing a new home more affordable.

“The choice of apartment styles at Canniesburn is an overriding factor in its continued success as well as the extensive size of the homes which begin at 953 sq ft, ensuring buyers get a fantastically spacious apartment at great value.”

The development is set in the grounds of the former Canniesburn Hospital, amid woodland surroundings. Many of the apartments on this elevated leafy location enjoy spectacular views across Glasgow.

The attractive suburb of Bearsden has an excellent range of amenities including excellent Schools, fine restaurants and a number of boutique designer shops.

Buyers can choose from a selection of two-bedroom apartments, with prices currently starting from £175,000*, with two-bedroom duplex apartments from £239,000*.
