If you’re looking to start 2012 by getting the keys to that perfect first home, Mactaggart & Mickel Homes has everything you need to make the move simple and affordable with our My First Home assistance plan.

Eligible househunters taking their first step onto the property ladder with us will only have to finance 85% of the purchase price, which could mean a smaller deposit, lower monthly mortgage payments, or the chance to buy a home bigger and better than you thought you could afford.

For extra savings first time buyers should move quickly as the relief on Stamp Duty Land Tax on properties under £250,000 is coming to an end on 25 March.  This means that after this date househunters will have to pay 1% of the price of their new home in tax potentially adding as much as £2,500 onto their moving costs.

With developments throughout Scotland ideal for first time buyers, Mactaggart & Mickel Homes has the perfect property for you.

At East Craigs in Edinburgh our two-bedroom apartments combine style and space.  The city centre and bypass are minutes away and there is even a small collection of shops right on your doorstep.

Only a handful of two-bedroom apartments remain at Cherrybank Gardens in the sought after residential location of Newton Mearns. The development has proved popular with buyers thanks to its great location, plentiful local amenities and handy transport links to Glasgow city centre.

Marr Meadows in Troon caters for those who love the great outdoors.  With perfectly proportioned two-bedroom semi-detached Oronsay villas in a beautiful coastal setting just minutes from the beach, it’s a breath of fresh air!

Visit our sales centres open Thurs-Mon from 11am-5pm.  Alternatively for further information please visit www.macmic.co.uk/homes
