A batch of new houses being developed in Glasgow have sold out in less than two months.

The houses in Laurieston have been snapped up by buyers after becoming available in late January.

Following the sale of the first 22, developers are set to release additional plots later this month, named after famous Gorbals residents.

Laurieston is one of eight Transformational Regeneration Areas (TRA) in Glasgow, with work recently beginning on the second phase of development at Laurieston Living.

The work will see 173 private for sale homes built, with the first residents due to move in from this summer.

Phase Two comprises a selection of one, two, three and four bedroom homes, described as ideally suited to young professionals and families.

The homes also benefit from the Help to Buy scheme, making it easier for buyers to secure their home with a deposit of just five per cent.

Homes at Phase Two of Laurieston Living start from £145,000.

Kirsty Robertson, sales and marketing manager, Urban Union, said: “We have been delighted by the demand for homes in Phase 2 at Laurieston – which was so high that we chose to hold appointments with potential buyers.

“Laurieston Living has become the benchmark in Scotland for successful regeneration and hundreds of families are proud to call it home. We look forward to welcoming some new faces to the area later this year and to finding a dream home for other potential buyers in the near future.”

Each house type within Phase 2 at Laurieston Living is named after a famous resident of the Gorbals.

Members of the public voted on their preferred option, with popular TV host Lorraine Kelly and former Manchester United star Paddy Crerand emerging as the most popular names.
