House builder releases starter homes designed for first time buyers
A new part of the development at Caskieberran in Glenrothes features starter homes for couples and young families. The latest Scottish Housing Market Review has revealed that the number of mortgages advanced to first-time buyers in Scotland rose annually by 17.0% in 2024-25. Research among those looking for a home has revealed that Glenrothes in Fife is the most popular affordable town in the UK for those looking to buy a family home. The data coincides with the launch of Allanwater Homes' development in Glenrothes. The recently released three-bedroom Cowal offers buyers a sustainable, EPC B rated home, with dual thermostatic heating with low running costs, alongside PV solar panels. Internally, the homes will have Porcelanosa tiling in the bathrooms and ensuite, and a fitted kitchen chosen from a wide range of colours and styles. Lauren McNair, Development Sales Manager for Allanwater Homes, said: 'The latest market insights certainly demonstrate a positive turn in the market, with more first-time buyers accessing greater lending in the last twelve months than the previous year. 'Our Caskieberran development is situated in the heart of Fife, with our starter three-bedroom homes appealing to young professionals and families wanting to remain within commuting distance from Edinburgh. We are excited to launch our latest homes, which will bring much-needed new housing to the town.' Available in a choice of end terraced, mid terraced and semi-detached versions, the Cowal villa offers a spacious lounge, fully integrated kitchen/dining room, and three bedrooms, including principal bedroom en-suite. Selected Cowal properties are available with allocated parking spaces, whilst others feature south west facing gardens. The Cowal is available from £230,706. Allanwater Homes has facilitated a partnership with local Genrothes based Estate Agency, First for Homes Allan England team, who are handling initial enquiries and viewings for the Caskieberran development.

New show home open this weekend
Allanwater Homes has officially launched sales at its Caskieberran development in Glenrothes, with a collection of energy-efficient apartments and family homes for sale at a time when new housing supply in Fife is constrained. Located to the south of the Glenwood Roundabout, the current release at Allanwater Caskieberran offers the three bedroom semi-detached Cowal villa, a housetype developed specifically for this area. Priced from £232,702, the Cowal is designed for modern living, featuring a large lounge and a fully integrated kitchen/dining room with French Doors leading through to the garden. Bedrooms one and two have fitted wardrobes. All properties at Caskieberran have PV solar panels as standard, along with low-carbon heating systems, and an EPC rating of B as standard. New CGI visuals released this week of the Cowal, together with the range of apartments that are also being constructed at Allanwater Caskieberran, highlight the development's high-quality design and landscaped surroundings, which include communal green space and off-street parking. Each home is finished with Allanwater's signature specification, which includes Porcelanosa tiling, USB sockets and thermostatic rainfall showers in en-suite bathrooms. The launch comes amid wider supply challenges in Scotland. According to industry reports, new-build completions in 2023–24 dropped to their lowest level since 2018, while build-to-rent construction declined by 26 per cent. In Fife, demand for new homes remains strongest in the mid-market price range – yet fewer than 1,500 properties were sold in Q1 2025, highlighting the need for more homes like those at Caskieberran. Lauren McNair, Development Sales Manager for Allanwater Homes, said: 'We're delivering high-specification homes in Glenrothes that are affordable, sustainable and ready to meet the real needs of buyers today. There's a clear demand for energy-efficient homes that offer space, style and long-term value – and that's exactly what Caskieberran is designed to provide. It's not just about building houses, it's about contributing to a community that people are proud to be part of.' Allanwater Homes has partnered with local Genrothes based Estate Agency, First for Homes Allan England team, who are handling initial enquiries and viewings for the Caskieberran development.
