Stewart Milne Homes sees success with homebuyer solutions

By continuing to offer effective homebuying solutions for today’s customers, Stewart ilne Homes has seen a 25 per cent year on year visitor increase across the central region for March as more consumers realise homeownership is still a reality with the right help.

The range of purchase plans available from the housebuilder are specially tailored to provide the right guidance and financial support for various circumstances.

Stewart Milne Homes has seen particular popularity and success in its Part Exchange scheme, which removes the usual pressures, complications and costs associated with selling an existing property in order to secure a new home.

Nigel, a buyer at Campsie Meadows in Robroyston, found the Part Exchange plan pivotal to securing his new home in April this year.

“We had wanted to move from our property in Berwick-upon-Tweed for some time, as we needed more space for the family and I had a new career opportunity available in Central Scotland. However, after having it on the market for almost a year without selling, we felt that staying put was our only option.

“We learned of the part exchange initiative on the market only quite recently and after discussing the purchase plan on offer with Stewart Milne Homes, we realised that it could be just what we needed. We fell in love with a beautiful family home at Campsie Meadows just outside Glasgow, which really stood out from other brands of newbuild we had previously seen, and decided to try the scheme. The exchange process was easy, straightforward and surprisingly stress-free, whilst the selling price of our existing property enabled us to secure our new home with ease. Plus, the savings we made on the usual marketing and advertising costs meant that our move was even more affordable.”

Marlyn Boal, sales and marketing director of Stewart Milne Homes Central Scotland, comments:

“It is important to remember that, despite changes in the economy, homes are always in demand - people will always want or need to move. New build property presents an especially good option for today’s homebuyer, especially with indications of increased mortgage lending and the Government’s pledge to boost it further. Whether a first-time purchase or upgrade on a current home, the products and support on offer from housebuilders mean buyers have the opportunity to snap up a great deal and secure a sound investment for the future.

“At Stewart Milne Homes, we recognise that financial issues are no longer just about cashflow, like finding a deposit or paying legal fees. It is equally important for consumers to find an affordable mortgage and sell their existing property. As a housebuilder, the purchase plans we continue to offer are carefully designed to reflect these ever-changing concerns and make purchasing a new home as easy and affordable as possible.”

Stewart Milne Homes has also developed a product specifically for first time buyers, which is designed to make the process easy and a more financially beneficial option than renting. The product covers all legal and survey costs, as well as factor fees and accident, illness and unemployment cover for the first year. In addition, buyers will be kitted out with a choice of furniture, curtains and carpets, plus a home entertainment package including a 40" plasma TV and a year’s Sky digital subscription. With the plan’s affordable purchase scheme, first time buyers will require a mortgage for just 75% of the property price, while owning 100% of the property from day one. The remaining 25% is deferred and repaid after 10 years or when the property is sold.

Other buyer support also available with various properties includes the Assisted Sale Service, with which Stewart Milne Homes will take care of the marketing of a buyer’s existing property. From arranging an independent valuation and liaising with the agent, to qualifying offers and agreeing a suitable entry date, Stewart Milne Homes will manage the entire process on the buyer’s behalf, whilst covering Estate Agency fees, advertising costs and the recently introduced Home Information Pack.

These products are available on selected properties at various developments across Scotland. For further information and to find out about the full range of support on offer, contact 01698 804804 or visit stewartmilnehomes.com
