Taylor Wimpey’s Broomhouse Site Manager wins national housebuilding award

Steven Sandilands, Site Manager at Broomhouse, is celebrating having won a prestigious national housebuilding award. Out of 16,000 entries, Steven has been honoured with a NHBC (National House Building Council) Pride in the Job Quality Award, which is the third quality award of his career.
 
The awards recognise an individual’s dedication to building high-quality homes for new homebuyers and are presented following a rigorous judging process by NHBC inspectors. This includes assessing the developments throughout the year, as well as spot checks, giving homebuyers the assurance that Broomhouse provides top-quality homes and excellent customer service.
 
Steven said: “I’m delighted to have won a Quality Award. It’s a fantastic honour, not just for me, but the whole team at Broomhouse. They all work incredibly hard and take great pride in ensuring that the homes we build are completed to the highest possible standards.”
 
Brian Henderson, Production Director of Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, added: “We are committed to maintaining the highest levels of quality and customer service, and this recognition has ensured that we continue to be an NHBC award-winning housebuilder year after year. Steven’s latest Quality Award is thoroughly deserved, and we’ll all be supporting him as he progresses through to the regional heats and hopefully to the grand final in London.”

We ignite the imagination of the next generation of Technical geniuses with SUDS sessions at Caledonia Primary

As part of Caledonia Primary School’s focus on understanding biodiversity, we took the opportunity to lead a series of masterclasses for P3, P4, P6 and P7 children, which focused on the importance of SUDS – Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems – and the role they play within the housebuilding industry.

First Home Fund

The Scottish Government backed First Home Fund*, which is open to first-time buyers in Scotland to purchase a property is available here on selected homes. You will need just a 5% deposit to buy your new home (subject to individual lender requirements) and your mortgage must be at least 25% of the purchase price.

The Scottish Government will contribute a maximum of 49% equity stake based on the property valuation or purchase price, whichever is lower, up to a maximum of £25,000. With the First Home Fund, you will own the property outright with the Scottish Government having an equity stake in your home.

Due to the success of this first pilot scheme, the Scottish Government has confirmed the First Home Fund will reopen in early 2021 for new home purchases completing from April 2021 until March 2022. If you are looking to move using the new scheme in 2021, you can still reserve a new home now, subject to your application to the new fund being approved.

*Terms and Conditions apply to the First Home Fund. For more information and guidance on applying for the First Home Fund, please visit:https://www.gov.scot/policies/homeowners/first-home-fund/.
