So here goes, the top requested features from houses for sale in Newton Mearns.
Houses located in close proximity to top schools
Easy access is a key request from home buyers in Newton Mearns – they want to be close to local amenities, park areas and of course local schools. Which is to be expected, with some of Scotland’s highest ranks school based in the Mearns.
Chances are, if you have a two, three or four bedroom home that is in the catchment area for Eastwood High School or Mearns Castle High School, you can expect to be in high demand. They make for the perfect family home offer.
Homes with outdoor spaces
Another bonus is if you have a property with gardens or outdoor space such as a balcony – allowing children to play or giving adults a space to unwind and entertain family/ friends.
Of our houses for sale in Newton Mearns, it is those with nicely presented outdoor areas and gardens that have been favoured and often go to a closing date.
Therefore showing that sometimes that investment in landscaping and maintenance can make all the difference.
Properties with private parking or a personal driveway
Whether it’s in the form of on street parking, a designated bay or indeed underground garage spaces, parking solutions are also a main concern for home buyers in Newton Mearns.
With the rise in drivers and the investment associated, they want to be assured that their car will be safe and that they will have no concerns finding a space after a busy day at work.
A big thumbs up if your Newton Mearns property has a driveway or double garage space.
Homes with flexible layout options
And finally, another frequent request we have seen is the demand for open plan and larger living spaces. Which is something that has been picked up on by housing developers, with both Cala Homes and Taylor Wimpey building new homes in the area.
Home buyers are looking for versatile properties that can easily be adapted to suit their requirements and essentially grow with them through time.
Therefore, if you have a traditional style home, it’s wise to review how your home is presented and look at ways to give the impression of space.
