THOSE wishing to put a foot on the property ladder will be interested in a new scheme at Taylor Wimpey’s latest developmen­t.

The site in Lenzie, East Dunbartons­hire, is popular, not just because of the location but for the many styles, 12 across 38 new homes, and offers available.

Of interest to first-time buyers is that 10 of the houses will be owned by East Dunbartons­hire Council.

This allocation will be sold on a shared equity basis to applicants who meet the qualifying criteria, which states buyers must be on East Dunbartons­hire Council’s housing list, be a first- time buyer and earn less than £40,130.

Situated on Woodilee Road, the developmen­t offers a collection of two, three, four and five- bedroom homes enjoying the picturesqu­e backdrop of the Campsie Hills and boasting Taylor Wimpey’s renowned craftsmans­hip, style and quality.

Audrey Ross, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, said: “Lenzie is an incredibly popular location as it offers an almost perfect mix of superb local amenities, excellent commuter links to Glasgow and Edinburgh and a great range of schools that appeal to families with children of all ages.

“We’re expecting to see a high demand for our range of new homes and those available through the shared equity scheme offered by East Dunbartons­hire Council.”

Councillor Ashay Ghai, convenor of Neighbourh­ood Services and depute leader of the local council, said: “This offers the chance for tenants and those waiting for a council home to get on the property ladder.

“I am very pleased we are involved in this scheme. It can only be a good thing with people getting a home of their own at a price that’s affordable.”
