Housebuilder Announces New Offer At Aberdeenshire Schemes

Barratt Homes is offering buyers at its popular Riverside Quarter, Westburn Gardens and Whiteland Coast developments in Aberdeen – an additional 5% towards their deposit with selected apartments and homes.

Interested buyers can find out more through Barratt Homes’ sales advisors at the developments, who can put customers in touch with an independent financial advisor to complete the mortgage process.

Speaking of the new initiative, Mike Cowie, sales and marketing director at Barratt North Scotland, said: “One of the hardest parts of getting your foot up onto the property ladder is getting a large enough deposit together to secure an affordable mortgage – especially now that Help to Buy and the First Home Funds have closed. We understand how tough it can be, which is why we’ve launched the deposit boost at three of our most popular developments.

“This, in addition to expert advice from an independent financial advisor, will offer reassurance and peace of mind, while also enabling buyers to leverage much better deals.”

Riverside Quarter is a vibrant, family-friendly community located close to riverside and woodland walks and just a 10-minute drive from Aberdeen city centre. Currently, Barratt Homes is marketing a choice of two-bedroom apartments and homes, with prices starting at £149,995. The special deposit is available on Plot 98, the three-bedroom end-of-terrace ‘Abergeldie’ house type with allocated parking, priced at £239,995 – so there’s a saving of £11,999 to the buyer. This home also comes with free flooring and a £5,000 furniture pack. It’s a house with kitchen/dining room, lounge, en suite main bedroom, another double bedroom, a single bedroom and bathroom with separate walk-in shower unit.

Meanwhile, in the city centre, Westburn Gardens offers a touch of luxury and privacy close to sought after city amenities including both Victoria and Westburn Parks, quality retail and a wide selection of independent shops, pubs and eateries. At present, a selection of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments are available, starting at £172,995. Plot 2 is a two-bedroom, ground-floor property which is available with the special deposit offer – or alternatively, could be purchased through part exchange. For £199,995, there’s free flooring to an open-plan living space, main bedroom with en suite shower room, a further double bedroom and a handy utility space. This corner plot also comes with an allocated parking space.

Located just 11 miles from Aberdeen in the village of Newtonhill, Whiteland Coast enjoys a beautiful coastal setting as well as convenient access to school, leisure and retail amenities and quality transport links. Buyers have a choice of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, starting at £179,995. For this price, Plot 84 is a mid-terrace house type called the ‘Fasque 1’ which has a good-sized lounge, open-plan kitchen with space for a dining table, handy utility room and WC. Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms and a bathroom. The 5% deposit boost offer provides a saving of £8,999.
