With desirable locations such as Newton Mearns, Barrhead, Eaglesham and Giffnock, East Renfrewshire is one of the most sought after council areas in wider Glasgow. And this hasn’t gone unnoticed by housing developers, with Avant Homes, Taylor Wimpey and Cala Homes all recently building new properties in the area to meet the high demand.
Which is great news for home owners who are currently looking to sell within East Renfrewshire, as with such popularity comes increased competition in regards to offers and can also result in a much quicker sale.
However this shouldn’t deter buyers as there is so much to gain from moving to this council area, which we can certainly say is worth the additional effort.
Let us explain.

Firstly, the area and its surrounding are like no other.
Despite neighbouring both Glasgow and Paisley, the district does have a suburban feel – and in some aspects even rural.
It’s attractiveness is its locality to these larger cities and towns, whilst having its own character and quiet charm.
Depending on the distance you are travelling you could be opting for a village feel, whereas closer to Glasgow will have a more built-up feel. Meaning you can tailor your plans to suit your needs.

And this level of adjustment does not require any settling. With the suburban setting of East Renfrewshire comes the benefit of large green areas and natural scenery almost literally on your doorstep. Whilst the raised landscapes mean that homeowners can enjoy an elevated view of the surrounding hills and beyond.
Newton Mearns for example is home to Rouklen Glen Park, regular hosts to food and drink festivals and also the location of some stunning natural waterfalls – perfect for dog walking or indeed just to get yourself outdoors.
And by getting yourself out in nature you can expect health benefits and a change in lifestyle attitude.

However it’s not just yourself who would benefit from this house move, by purchasing a home in East Renfrewshire you would find yourself in the catchment area for some of Scotland’s best performing schools (depending on the district you have selected).
The district is home to high performing primary and secondary schools, as well as some premium nurseries – including St. Ninian’s High School, Woodfarm High School, Our Lady Of The Missions Primary School and Netherlee Primary School.

And finally, yet another reason to make the move to East Renfrewshire is the variety of homes and property types that are on offer. From period and historical properties through to modern new build homes, the area has everything to offer a house hunter.
Whether you’re a first time buyer or a growing family looking for a larger home with private gardens.
