Recent research from online estate agency Rightmove reveals that Scottish houses are selling almost twice as quickly as everywhere else in Britain[1]. With only seven properties left at Dandara’s Eskbank Gardens development in Dalkeith, time is running out for interested buyers.
Prospective homeowners can take advantage of a range of offers, including pre-paid LBTT on the four-bedroom ‘Iona’ home, saving up to £10,250, and part exchange options for an easier move. The development also features one remaining Golden Share home, allowing eligible buyers to purchase at 80% of the open market value.
Tony Williamson, Sales Director at Dandara East Scotland, commented: “We've seen firsthand the strong demand for homes in Scotland, and our final homes at Eskbank Gardens are no exception, with a significant number of buyers already reserving the few remaining properties.
“These homes are designed with modern living in mind, featuring spacious open-plan areas and high-quality kitchens with integral appliances. I strongly encourage any interested buyers to act quickly, as we anticipate these last properties will sell very fast!”
Eskbank Gardens offers a diverse range of homes suited for first time buyers, young professionals, and larger families looking to settle down. Families will appreciate the proximity to several schools within three miles of the development, ensuring easy access to all levels of education, from nursery to high school.
The development is ideally located for professionals commuting to Edinburgh, with Eskbank station and the Edinburgh City Bypass nearby. These transport links provide easy access to Tweedbank, Edinburgh Waverley, the A1, A7, A68, and Edinburgh Airport for international travel.
Each home at Eskbank Gardens is equipped with photovoltaic panels for low-carbon electricity and features energy-efficient double glazing, helping residents reduce energy costs. The homes come with a 2-year builder’s warranty from a 5-star HBF builder and a 10-year NHBC warranty, ensuring coverage until 2034.
Currently available are three, four, and five bedroom homes. The three bedroom mid-terrace Mull is priced at £228,000 through the Golden Share scheme, while the four bedroom Islay is available for £306,995.
