BY INTRODUCING their First Time Buyer Plan at their Castle Gardens development in Dundee, Stewart Milne Homes are ensuring more homehunters will have the chance to live within surroundings t

The plan is now on offer on a selection of apartments. In addition to providing an affordable purchase scheme, it covers legal and survey costs, factor fees and accident, illness and unemployment cover for the first year, and buyers can have a choice of furniture, curtains and carpets, a home entertainment package including a 40-inch plasma TV and a year's Sky digital subscription.

Castle Gardens has been formed within the former grounds of Ballumbie Mansion and features apartments and penthouses created within the remains of the B-listed 18th-century building thanks to a clever renovation programme.

The surrounding area is producing detached villas and steading style bungalows.

Under the plan an apartment at the development can be had for £135,995 - adding up to a mortgage of less than £102,000 being needed with the repayment of the remaining 25 per cent able to be deferred for 10 years.
