Kirsty has recently taken her first step on to the property ladder with a move to a new Andrew two bedroom home at Calder Wynd in Carnbroe. Alongside Bailey, her adorable red fox labrador retriever, she’s feeling right at home and enjoying life in this new and growing community in North Lanarkshire.
"As a first-time buyer, I was initially worried that the process of buying a new home would be daunting. However, my experience with Taylor Wimpey was so straightforward and hassle-free. Chris, the sales executive, was great and just reassuring. He’s incredibly helpful and there was never a question he couldn’t answer – and trust me I asked him lots.
“I recently moved into my new two-bedroom Andrew house, and I absolutely love it! Even though this is the smallest house type at the development, it’s surprising when you open the front door to a big hallway. Overall, the layout is really spacious, and my friends often say the house is like a tardis. The size of the main bedroom was a major selling point for me – it had to be big enough to have a large bed for the dog and I so the main bedroom in my new house is just perfect. Downstairs is really great too – there’s an open-plan lounge and dining area is great for when I have friends or family over. Plus there’s French doors out to my private back garden – which is ideal when Bailey wants to explore outside!
“Taylor Wimpey also helped me with a 5% deposit, which was incredibly helpful in getting me on the move. Their support gave me the confidence to take the leap and purchase my first home. And buying a new home versus a second-hand one means there are no surprises, and I knew the price I would pay, and I love that there’s no maintenance or DIY required.
“I looked at other developments, but I chose Carnbroe because the area was recommended by friends that I went to university with who live locally. They’ve never left, and they were absolutely right about how brilliant it is. There’s a friendly feeling of community and plenty of green spaces for walks with my dog.
“The location is brilliant for my work too. Although I work from home, I also need easy access to the motorway to get to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and I have regular meetings at Eurocentral which is just down the road so it’s perfect.
“Overall, Chris and the team at Taylor Wimpey made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Chris took me through the sales process step by step and reassured me throughout, and the aftercare I’ve had since I moved in has been superb and that is maybe part of my customer journey with Taylor Wimpey that has surprised me most. When you buy a new car, you pick up the keys and drive off and you never hear from the garage. But since I’ve moved into Calder Wynd the team has been in regular contact with me to make sure everything is OK and that I’m settling in.
“I’ve been so impressed with the quality of my house and the service that I’ve had that I’m already trying to convince some of my friends to buy at this development. \...
“And if I had any advice for other first-time buyers considering a move to Calder Wynd, or in fact any other Taylor Wimpey development I’d say just go for it.
“I was worried that I would regret my decision, and I cried the day that I officially signed the paperwork to go ahead with the purchase, but this has been the best decision I’ve taken and for my first home it’s perfect. I’ve already told Chris that when I am ready for my next step up the property ladder that I’ll be looking at this development.”
