Scotland’s top property trend predictions for 2021
As we approach the New Year, the property experts at AMA Homes share their top property trends to look out for in 2021 – and reveal which of their award-winning luxury developments ticks all the boxes.
Topping the trends in 2021 is the desire for ‘urban village’ living. The ideal urban village location offers residents all the comfort and sense of community that comes from village life, but couples it with the added bonus of having all the amenities of a large city within close proximity.
The rise in popularity of urban village living is related to the significant increase in professionals working from home. With the daily commute no longer a deciding factor in the homebuying process, urban village living is being added to homebuyers’ wish lists.
Many are succumbing to the appeal of a slower pace of living, a closeness with nature, connection with neighbours and a feeling of belonging. Yet all the benefits and convenience of remaining close to the city centre, where theatres, bars, restaurants, and shops are just a short journey away.
Ticking all these boxes and fast emerging as a property hotspot is Cramond, a quaint coastal village in the north-west of Edinburgh at the mouth of the River Almond where it enters the Firth of Forth.
A peaceful and picturesque setting, Cramond offers residents an idyllic outdoor lifestyle less than 20 minutes from the capital – and it’s where you will find Caer Amon, an award-winning development of luxury apartments from AMA Homes.
The 32 ultra-high-spec apartments are set within a series of gardens and landscaped courtyards. The exterior white walls sympathetically echo the whitewashed cottages at Cramond harbour, while the interiors have an unmistakably contemporary light and spacious feel. They benefit from zoned underfloor heating and excellent insulation, making them highly energy efficient.
The development was designed by Richard Murphy Architects, a world-renowned practice with 20 Riba awards to its name.
28 properties at Caer Amon have already sold but house-hunters will be pleased to hear two apartments at Caer Amon have just been re-released; 30/11 Brighouse Park Cross, available now at the fixed price of £820,000, and 29/5 Brighouse Park Cross, available for £500,000.
“What we are witnessing is a major shift in the housing market which is directly related to wider changes in peoples’ lifestyles,” says AMA Homes director Behnam Afshar.
“Urban village living offers the best of both worlds and nowhere is this better encapsulated than at Caer Amon – a peaceful neighbourhood in a stunning coastal location, a mere five miles from all that the Scottish capital has to offer.”
According to Behnam, the fast-paced property market shows no sign of easing up as we enter the New Year, meaning homebuyers interested in finding out more about Caer Amon are advised to book a viewing, strictly by appointment only.
