Dandara is inviting prospective buyers for cake, coffee and a chat at an open house event on Saturday September 23 at Hazelwood in Aberdeen.

With the busy autumn property sales period ahead, local buyers are being urged to come along and meet representatives from independent financial advisors JLM who can discuss the types of mortgages currently available.

Local estate agents Ledingham Chalmers will also be available from 11am – 2pm to give tips for selling homes and an insight into the local market.

Dandara’s sales team will also be on hand to provide information about the limited-time-only incentives, available plots and the build programme.

Attendees will have a chance to look round the new four-bedroom Beech and five-bedroom Yew view homes at the development located just three miles from the city centre.

Currently available to reserve are a selection of three, four and five-bedroom homes with prices starting from £269,995.

Andrew Steinbach, from JLM, said: “It’s great to be offering support at Dandara’s event, helping everyone from first-time buyers right at the start of their home-buying journey, to those who have moved multiple times and downsizers, find their dream home.

“There’s no doubt it’s a challenging time for buyers but we are seeing some of the biggest mortgage lenders starting to cut rates on fixed-term mortgages and it is looking like inflation will begin to stabilise by the end of the year.

“We are not out of the woods yet, but things are starting to look a bit more positive.”

Laura Ross of local estate agents Ledingham Chalmers said: “At Ledingham Chalmers, we value helping the community in finding their perfect home and this event is a great opportunity to share information on the current market.

“Despite the current climate, there are some signs that the market may be starting to pick up with three-bedroom homes still sought after.”
