The closing date for Help to Buy applications in Scotland has been extended to 31 January 2017.
This extra time allows Story Homes to offer the scheme to customers for homes that will be ready for moving in by 31 March 2017 and are priced between £200,000 and £230,000.
The scheme is open to first time buyers as well as existing homeowners and provides help for up to 15% of the purchase price of an affordable new build home.
Head of Sales, Hayley Blair said; “This is excellent news for those who thought they were going to miss the applications deadline and are looking to buy a home priced between £200,000 and £230,000.
“If your application to the scheme is eligible, the Scottish Government will help you to buy a new build home so you don’t have to fund all of it.
“For further information speak to one of our Sales Executives at Summerpark, Dumfries or Pentland Reach, Biggar who will be happy to assist.”
