Persimmon Homes Press Release

Persimmon offers fantastic incentives to help you move to Chirnside

Persimmon Homes’ development in the beautiful village of Chirnside has proven to be very popular with house hunters seeking idyllic country living whist still being able to commute to the capital.

There are just ten properties left at the popular Heath Grange site on Jim Clark Drive. The development has two and four bedroom homes available for homebuyers looking to bag their dream home for 2008.

It’s easy to see why the houses have been snapped up so quickly as The Borders was recently selected to be the next property hotspot by HBOS. Patsy McLaren, sales director for Persimmon Homes East Scotland comments "With regeneration projects such as the brand new rail link to Edinburgh and Galashiels, and continual inward investment into the area, househunters would be wise to buy before the prices start to reflect the demand being generated here."

With amazing views of the surrounding areas it’s no wonder that househunters are rushing to buy, so much so that there are just a handful of homes left at Heath Grange.

Chirnside itself has become a highly desirable location with picturesque views of the Cheviot Hills, The Merse and the River Tweed as well as plenty of local amenities on its doorstep including a primary school, several reputable secondary schools, colleges, shopping and leisure facilities and the town of Berwick upon Tweed is merely ten miles away, while Edinburgh is less than an hour’s drive.

To make the buying and moving in process that much simpler, Persimmon is offering a unique incentive to assist with the financial constraints of purchasing a new home at this time of year. The company is willing to landscape the rear garden of those that take advantage of the 100 part exchange deal, meaning the lucky purchasers can sit back and enjoy both their brand new home and garden too. Stamp Duty will be paid on selected plots as well as including carpeting throughout the house carpets.

The HBOS last year ranked the Borders sixth in a list of the fastest rising prices across Scotland as the popularity of living in the area increases, the reason Patsy believes buyers are looking sooner rather than later. She concludes: "Our prices mean that the housetypes available are ideal for a variety of purchasers, from first time buyers to families. For example, we have the four bedroom Falloch housetype for £193,950 available at Chirnside. Combine this with the glorious location Borders countryside on its doorstep it is easy to see why it’s been pulling in the crowds."
