New sales team appointed for Caskieberran development
Allanwater Homes has teamed up with a local estate agency, First for Homes Allan England team, which will handle enquiries and viewings for its starter home development at Caskieberran in Glenrothes. With prices from £184,995, which is below the average property price in the town – currently £194,691, Allanwater Caskieberran is a highly affordable, well located development offering 19 energy efficient properties. Built with modern living in mind, some of the apartments at Allanwater Caskieberran will have balconies making the most of the views. With a B rating for energy, both the Manor, a two bedroom luxury apartment, and the Lowther, a three bedroom villa which is available in both a terraced and semi-detached format, will provide the occupants with a high-level of energy efficient living, with the subsequent lower energy bills this can bring. Currently under construction, the first of the new homes are expected to be ready to move into by July 2025. Commenting on the relationship, which will see First for Homes Allan England team promote Allanwater Caskieberran in its office window display, alongside handling all initial sales and information enquiries directly, Allanwater Homes Financial Director, Jim Baxter, said: 'We are confident this local partnership with First for Homes will really help to drive interest in Allanwater Caskieberran, and maintain momentum throughout the sales process.' 'They'll act as the first point of contact to those who enquire, ensuring timely responses and consistent messaging,' he said. First for Homes Allan England team will then follow up all sales leads for the development, to assess interest, and guide buyers through the initial stages of the process. Viewings will also be looked after by the First for Homes team, providing buyers with a sense of the homes' layout, size, and available finish options. Once a buyer is ready to move forward, Allanwater Sales Manager, Lauren McNair, will take over, handling everything from reservation, through to exchange and completion, ensuring a smooth and consistent customer journey. 'Given the value for money prices, the convenient location of the development, and the specification of the properties, which include open plan lounge/dining rooms, luxury kitchens with integrated appliances, plenty of storage space, and ensuites to the principal bedroom, we expect there to be a consistent flow of sales enquiries at Allanwater Caskieberran,' said Lauren. 'Having a Glenrothes High Street window display will increase visibility locally, additionally attracting walk-in interest from people passing by,' finished Lauren. Commenting from First for Homes Allan England Team, Director/Office Owner, Allan England, said: 'The entire team is thrilled to be working alongside Allanwater Homes on the launch of their brand-new development at Caskieberran, Glenrothes.
