PERTH: THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS

Persimmon Homes East Scotland knows the importance of offering high quality and highly sought-after properties with an affordable price tag, which is why the company has a range of attractive incentives on its apartments based at the much admired Beechmount development in Perth.

Beechmount hosts a choice selection of one and two bedroom apartments in a mix of five differing styles. Ideal for first time buyers, down-sizers and investors alike, the apartments all boast spacious living areas and ample storage.

21-year old Lynsey Wright is just one happy buyer who took advantage of the great incentives on offer at this fantastic development. "It was so exciting actually buying my first property, with the help of my Dad. I was in the showhome and just fell in love with the design and space of the flat and wanted to buy it there and then. Ultimately it was the location of Beechmount that sold it to me because I work in Aberuthven and was living with my parents in Blairgowrie at the time so now it is much easier to get to work because of the fantastic location."

Lynsey liked the style of the showhome so much that she chose a lot of the furnishings and finishing touches for her own apartment. After buying the flat in November last year, Lynsey moved into her new property in time for the New Year and is now felling totally settled in.

Lynsey added, "It’s so exciting moving into my first flat on my own, I feel much more independent now and it has all gone so smoothly. I didn’t really know what to expect but it has been great because there is a few people in the same apartment block who are the same age so we often have little get-togethers so I am never lonely in my new pad!"

Patsy McLaren, sales director for Persimmon Homes East Scotland comments: "We’ve seen a rising trend in the number of househunters choosing apartments over the traditional style of houses because sometimes it is the perfect option for first time buyers, down-sizers and investors alike.

"I believe low maintenance, increased security and value for money are just a few reasons why home buyers are now considering apartments to be the way forward, whether you’re a first time buyer, wishing to down-size or simply looking to invest. And with a wide range of flats at our Beechmount site, potential buyers will be spoilt for choice when looking for the home of their dreams."

Prices at the development start from as little as £109,950 for a one bedroom apartment and the development is now even more appealing thanks to the range of incentives currently on offer from Persimmon on selected plots.

Purchasers have the choice of reserving their apartment for just £99 and move in, or 3% deposit paid, together with carpets throughout and stainless steel upgrade on appliances. Alternatively why not take advantage of Persimmon’s shared equity scheme which is available at this development which entitles you to buy your home now but only pay 75% of the price.*

Patsy McLaren adds: "Home buyers looking for a contemporary style of living should take a look at the stylish apartments at Beechmount and take advantage of this generous offer which could leave them with spare cash to help furnish their new home."

Beechmount is situated close to the centre of Perth, a town that has a wide range of amenities, leisure facilities and its excellent commuter links to Dundee and Aberdeen to the north and Stirling and Edinburgh to the south.
