The first footers in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh’s newest upmarket development have now settled into their dream home. The couple sought to downsize from their CALA five-bedroom family home in Dunfermline, settling into a modern, two-bedroom apartment at The Crescent. Dr Amin, a semi-retired doctor, and Mary, a retired nurse, chose this particular spot as they had been so pleased with the service they had received from CALA in 2002.
“As we have family links to Ireland, we originally thought about relocating back there at this time in life. But we’d been aware of The Crescent development for a long time and finally visited it last year. After seeing the apartments for ourselves, we decided it really was the perfect spot. The design is very modern and the location is excellent – it has lots of green space but is still close to the city. You just won’t get anything else like it in Edinburgh.”
A bold and sweeping arc of 84 enhanced height, glass-fronted apartments, The Crescent is nestled to the private rear of Edinburgh’s iconic Donaldson’s estate, situated within the city’s celebrated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Just a mile west of Princes Street, the collection of apartments in this 18-acre estate offer buyers an idyllic rural escape whilst still being in the heart of the capital. Haymarket train station is also just on the doorstep, as well as plenty of bus links both into and out of Edinburgh.
“We really can’t thank the team at CALA enough for their support and help throughout the process. You get to know everyone really well and they cannot do enough for you. They’re always so professional and helpful. Another huge draw for us was CALA’s Guaranteed Buyer scheme, which we didn’t actually use in the end but it’s still nice to know you have that added level of security when you’re looking to make a move.”
Currently available at The Crescent, CALA’s Guaranteed Buyer service is just one of a number of tailored incentives available on apartments at this stunning development. CALA can effectively act as a cash buyer for your home, allowing you to move into a new home without the delays and uncertainties that come with selling an existing property.
Designed by acclaimed architect Richard Murphy OBE, a range of two and three-bedroom apartments, duplexes and penthouses are available for sale at The Crescent. Two show apartments are available to view daily 11am – 5.30pm.
