MCCARTHY and Stone is giving retirees looking to move to its Retirement Living development Riverwood in Milngavie the opportunity to realise the benefits of downsizing by making use of its “Move for Free” offer.
This offer is available for a limited time only at this popular development in Milngavie where 60% of properties have already been snapped up, and where buyers using this helpful offer stand to save up to £12,000 on their move.
The incentive, from the UK’s leading retirement housebuilder, will see buyers save on Land & Buildings Transaction
Tax (LBTT), estate agency costs, legal fees and removal costs, if they reserve a new apartment on or before 21 December 2019 and complete by 25 April 2020. New visitors to the development will also receive a £10 M&S shopping voucher.
Riverwood, on Craigdhu Road, is an attractive development of 49 one and two bedroom Retirement Living apartments, where a new show complex is now available to inspire potential buyers. The popular semi-rural location of Milngavie places retirees at Riverwood in an exceptional area to be able to enjoy the best of the outdoors with the Campsie Fells, and the starting point for the West Highland Way on their doorstep, plus the pedestrianised town centre is within just a short walk of the development which is packed with local amenities including shops, restaurants and cafes.
This popular development features a spacious homeowners’ lounge which is perfect for socialising with friends and new neighbours, beautifully landscaped gardens in which to relax, and a convenient guest suite should homeowners have friends or relatives to stay.
There is already a rich sense of community developing at this popular development, with homeowners holding regular weekly events together such as coffee mornings and social evenings on a Friday evening.
A House Manager ensures the smooth running of the development, there is car parking via a permit scheme, a security entrance system, plus there are 24-hour emergency call points – for added peace of mind for both homeowners and their families.
Milngavie and its surrounding area enjoy a vibrant and active local community with a range of clubs and local interest groups to keep retirees busy.
There is also a choice of four local golf clubs, as well as beautiful outdoor spaces to enjoy such as Lennox Park and Mugdock Country Park, so whether retirees plan to try a new activity, hobby or opt for a gentle pace of life, this is a location to tick the box for a range of potential buyers.
McCarthy and Stone’s Retirement
Living developments are designed to offer homeowners the very best in independent living within a safe and secure environment, with the opportunity to benefit from companionship when they want it and privacy and assistance when they need it.
Hannah Ireland, Marketing Manager for
McCarthy and Stone in Scotland, adds: “To help buyers make their move to retirement living move sooner rather than later, we are pleased to have launched our ‘Move for Free’ offer at our Riverwood Retirement Living development in Milngavie, because we know that it can go some way to removing some of the financial barriers that generally prevent retirees from moving.
“It also aims to encourage retirees who are perhaps thinking about their future needs to proactively consider the different housing options and lifestyle benefits available to them.
“Our community of homeowners at Riverwood are already making themselves right at home and they have already created a lovely welcoming environment for anyone new moving into the development.”
Prices start from £189,000 for one of the last few one bedroom apartments, and from £289,000 for a two bedroom apartment. Selected apartments have a private patio or balcony.
