WEST END CITY CHIC FROM MACTAGGART & MICKEL

Situated in Glasgow’s popular West End, Mactaggart & Mickel’s Gainsborough Court offers the ultimate in chic apartment living. And with a range stunning property styles on offer, homebuyers are being urged to act fast to secure an address in the city’s most exclusive residential quarters.

Gainsborough Court offers a variety of 61 well designed, contemporary homes in a range of styles from 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom duplex apartments and 4 bedroom, 3-storey townhouses.

The development marks a homecoming of sorts for the family-owned company, as many of the tenement buildings and other homes in the existing neighborhood were built over the years by the company beginning as far back as the 1940s.

Each property offers generously proportioned living spaces and well planned layouts, benefiting from gas central heating and double-glazing. Like all Mactaggart & Mickel homes, each is finished to exacting standards with high specification fittings and quality finishes throughout. The company has just opened a stunning three-bedroomed apartment so you can see the quality of these spacious homes for yourself.

Glasgow’s West End is a hotbed of eclectic shops, bars and restaurants and enjoys its own community vibe, making it the ideal residence for couples, professionals and young families. The botanic gardens sit on the doorstep of these high-specification duplex apartments, offering a tranquil retreat in the midst of the city.

Located just off Chesterfield Avenue in the Kelvindale area of the West End, Gainsborough Court is within minutes walk of Great Western Road and popular Byres Road and only a 15 minute walk from the city centre. Just 25 minutes by car from Glasgow Airport, the development is well served by public transport with frequent bus and subway links to the city centre. The West End boasts some of the city’s best schools, sports and leisure facilities and is the home of Kelvingrove Sports Arena and Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum.

Mactaggart & Mickel recognizes that whilst there are signs of reinvigoration in the housing market north of the border, it remains a difficult time for prospective homebuyers.

That’s why on three exclusive plots at Gainsborough Court, Mactaggart & Mickel is offering its Homebuyer House Purchase Plan, allowing homebuyers to pay only 80% of the purchase price of a new home.  Buyers have up to 10 years to repay the 20% and are charged no interest on the 20% equity share. The 20% is based on the current market value of your home at that time. This means you can be the proud owner of a new two bedroom apartment at Gainsborough Court for £187,956 (full price £234,945) for a limited time only.

If you are looking for something a little bigger – a three bed apartment at Gainsborough Court is now priced at £223,996 (100% price- £279,995)

Joanne Casey, sales director for Mactaggart & Mickel, said: “These spacious homes represent the quality and craftsmanship that has become synonymous with the Mactaggart and Mickel over the years, offering the perfect living solution to couples and young families seeking a spacious and stylish home in the hub of Glasgow’s West End.

“While we are seeing banks start to re-open their doors to mortgage-seekers and a clear improvement in the housing market, we are aware that prospective homebuyers are still experiencing financial hurdles. We want to help to allow people to purchase their dream home, which is why we are offering the Homebuyer House Purchase Plan on selected plots at Gainsborough Court.

“Understandably, demand for this site is already high so we would advise people to act fast if they want to take advantage of the Homebuyer Plan and snap up one of these exclusive properties.”

Other types of homes available at Gainsborough Court, but not included in the Homebuyer Plan offer, are three bedroom duplex apartments from £341,985

The F-type show apartment is open for viewing from 11am – 5pm Thursday to Monday. For further information, contact Anna Adams at the sales office on 0141 357 4600 or log onto www.macmic.co.uk
