A second phase of exclusive riverside homes, Maryhill Locks, set in the heart of Glasgow have just been released. Set on Whitelaw Street in Glasgow, Maryhill Locks is a new build development consisting of terraced houses which have been influenced by both classic West End terraces and modern European townhouses.
Designed by renowned Glasgow-based Nord Architects, the key with this development is affordable city living, with prices for a 2 bedroom terrace starting at £148,000 and 3 bedroom terraces starting at £169,000.
This new development is set in an ideal location for those who love to be at the centre of everything. The picturesque canal connects the new development to the city centre and the River Kelvin Walkway is just a 20 minute bike ride into the cultural hub that is the West End.
The development also benefits from fantastic transport links, with Maryhill Road nearby where there are frequent buses that take just 15 minutes into the city centre. There are also great links to the train stations, with Maryhill Station a five minute walk to the North, a regular service which provides access to Queen Street in only 15 minutes.
Marketed through Clyde Property, these new city homes are in high demand, as just one two bedroom terrace from phase one remains, priced at £145,000. And phase two is just a small collection of 2 and 3 bedroom homes, with only seven new houses coming on to the market this time.
While these homes are already set at a fantastic price, phase two is set to be even more affordable as it is now available under the government backed help to buy scheme.
It’s pretty simple really; you apply for a government approved help to buy ISA through one of the main UK banks (such as Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Santander etc) and for every £200 you deposit, the government will give you a £50 bonus towards your deposit for your first home. The maximum government bonus under the scheme is £3000 and other stipulations include that the money that goes into the help to buy ISA must be deposited before the 25th of every month and go in via a standing order. Find out more about the government help to buy scheme here.
With the government backed help to buy now available on this second phase of Maryhill Locks, and the affordable starting price of £148,000, there has never been a greater time to take the first steps onto the city property ladder.
