Dundas has recently completed the purchase of a site on the well-established Shawfair development six miles south of Edinburgh.

Construction will shortly commence to build 59 homes, the properties will consist of a mix of three to six-bedroom homes. By stepping into the project, Dundas has committed to delivering high-spec homes that exceed industry standards – with the aim of delivering the first homes by late autumn 2024.

As a new neighbourhood on the edge of the city, Shawfair offers a mix of local retail and community health facilities, as well as 3km of cycle paths that easily connect homeowners to the train station, schools and Park & Ride.

In Bishopton, construction will shortly commence to build 179 homes of which 62 will be affordable properties. These properties will consist of a mix of three to six-bedroom homes.

Dundas aims to deliver the first homes by late summer 2024. As part of this project, the developer will also support the provision of a community woodland park, recreation and open spaces and other community facilities such as a new health centre and primary school.

Craig Fairfoull, sales & marketing director at Dundas, said: “We appreciate there may have been unexpected challenges and uncertainties faced by prospective homeowners engaged with the previous developer.

“However, our primary goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible, and we urge those who had reservations with Stewart Milne for one of these plots to contact us immediately.

“We aim to deliver these much-needed homes in the coming months, allowing prospective buyers to finally move into the homes they have been looking forward to.”

Both developments will see Dundas complete various house types that remain similar in style and specification to the previous developer, including terraced, semi and larger detached homes.

Dundas was supported through the acquisition of the sites by solicitors Anderson Strathern.
