Savills : Residential Development Sales service launches in Aberdeen

Bespoke builders Excel Scotland, who have an enviable reputation for high quality craftsmanship and service, appointed Savills to launch Barnton, based on the real estate company's decades of experience selling prime residential development properties across the UK. This prestigious project will be managed by Savills development expert, Associate Director Claire Crawford based in the company's Aberdeen office.

Barnton offers luxurious abundant indoor space, surrounded by lush green fields, and uninterrupted views over Deeside and the Aberdeenshire hills. Yet Westhill, just six miles away, offers ease of access into Aberdeen City as well as its own business park and shopping centre. Meanwhile Banchory, the heart of Royal Deeside and home to many local businesses, lies just seven miles to the West, offering cafes, restaurants and shops.

Claire Crawford of Savills said: 'Our latest research has revealed that country living is returning to fashion with a rise in the number of sales in rural areas. The experience of lockdown has given people time to think about what is most important to them, with buyers seeking a better work/life balance. A range of criteria is now top of buyers' wish lists including access to outdoor space, room to work at home, fast broadband, and a greater appreciation of the environment.'

Gerry Verner of Excel Scotland said: 'Each of our homes at Barnton features large living spaces, slate roofs, triple glazed windows, underfloor heating and an electric car charging point within the integral double garage. And making the most of the rural setting all three have balconies overlooking the fantastic open Aberdeenshire countryside. This is the most high specification project we have delivered to date and, with its limitless green spaces and ample interiors, Barnton is the ideal location for those seeking peace and tranquillity but with a desire for the flexibility that city or village life can offer.'

Carole Mackie, Head of Residential Development Sales - Scotland Region said: 'This is a very exciting opportunity and a real privilege to be expanding our New Homes sales service within the Aberdeen area. Savills New Homes Division understands the development sales journey. We provide bespoke consultancy, sales and marketing services to support developers and housebuilders alike.'

Prices start from £705,000.
