A dream move to a new home makes perfect sense for Marcus
In his search for a warmer and more energy-efficient property, buying a new home ticked so many boxes for Marcus Ballantine, a self-employed dentist, that it made his move to Farrier Fields in South Gilmerton, Edinburgh a real pleasure.
As this new community emerges in Edinburgh, Marcus is one of the first people to move into a new home at the development. He’s delighted with his move and his customer journey with Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, as he explains more: “I haven’t moved very far, but during my search of the area one of the things that was important to me was finding a property that was easier to look after. I previously owned an old bungalow for quite a few years, and it was always cold or needed work done to it. For my next move, I wanted to find somewhere that would be warmer, more energy efficient, and easier to maintain.
“My new house is impressive – it’s so well insulated and there are no draughts. The heat barely drops overnight, and I like to be comfortable so it’s just lovely to have that consistency plus I don’t need the central heating on high to feel cosy.
“While I did look at other older properties during my search, I wanted a straightforward move to a property that didn’t need lots of work. Everything I saw needed some work done to it and I also didn’t want to move to somewhere with a high-maintenance garden.
This isn’t Marcus’ first experience of buying a new home: “I am not new to buying a new-build home, but my previous experience had made me a little nervous to consider it as an option this time around. However, I have to say that as soon as I came to see Nicolle at Farrier Fields I was just blown away. In fact, it’s been the best experience. Buying a new home with Taylor Wimpey has been a very different process to the one I’d gone through before, and I’ve felt very comfortable and supported throughout. Nicolle is brilliant, and I met the site manager Allan very early on too. They’ve both looked after me before, during, and after my move to Farrier Fields.
This is an incentivised testimonial.
The neighbours all seem happy and as people are moving in everyone is friendly so I’m getting a good feeling about our growing community here at Farrier Fields. Just walking around the development already you get a lovely sense of space, and it feels great. I just love it here, my friends are already talking about buying a property at the development, my mum is also threatening to move here and all the amenities that I enjoyed before like the shops at Straiton, I am handy to get on to the bypass to get to work or I can easily get a bus into Edinburgh city centre when I need to.”

Community contributions
We believe it’s our responsibility to support our communities, so that people are proud to call them home. That’s why we regularly donate time and money to local causes, and are passionate about investing in the areas we build.
Supporting the local community
In January 2024, we have once again shown our support for local school community football in Gilmerton by providing additional football strips for the Primary 6 and 7 boys and girls football teams at Gilmerton Primary School.
In July 2023, We went back to school to give the children of Gilmerton Primary in Edinburgh some reminders about health and safety. As construction of our new homes continues at nearby at Farrier Fields in Gilmerton, we were keen to promote the dangers associated with playing near any construction site. This visit gave us an opportunity to raise awareness of the children’s need to be extra vigilant as our construction work progresses.
As part of our health and safety talk to Gilmerton Primary, we set the children a challenge to design a health and safety poster that would remind the local community of the dangers associated with playing near any construction site. This has since been created into a banner for the development with the winner and runner ups designs.
