£2,500 holiday voucher delight for first time buyers

A young couple who have bought their first home in Inverness are over the moon after winning a £2,500 holiday voucher in our fabulous prize draw.

Connor Tucker and Flo Thomson entered the draw after reserving their first floor two bedroom Ashie style cottage flat at The Parks, Inverness, in August.

The couple, who are due to move in at the start of next year, were delighted to find out their entry was pulled out of the hat.

Connor said: “We are over the moon to have won, especially when we didn't think we would get a holiday for a while due to us buying our first home.

"It hasn't properly sunk in yet because you never imagine actually winning something as big as this.

“We have always wanted to go on a dream holiday to New York so after we have moved and settled into our new flat we will probably celebrate by going there.”

The couple admitted they fell in love with their new home at The Parks as soon as they saw it.

He said: “When we first went to view the Ashie we fell in love with it almost immediately as it was the perfect size for the two of us.

“We reserved early and the option to choose the kitchen and bathroom finishes was a bonus so it makes it feel a little more personal. The area where the flat is based has an amazing view and is so close to the city centre, retail parks and our places of work, we reserved it as quickly as we could.”

Connor said The Parks sales consultant Susan Cumming - pictured presenting the voucher - has ensured the path to their new home has run smoothly.

He explained: “We are first time buyers so we started the process of buying a house with zero knowledge on how to proceed, but Susan and Tulloch were so informative and understanding of this and made everything so much easier to understand. We are excited to move into our new home as it will start a new chapter of our lives together.”

Sales Director Lynne Boyd is delighted the couple have won the £2,500 holiday voucher.

She added: “We are so pleased that young first time buyers Connor and Flo have won the prize. It’s exciting to be buying your first home together and having the benefit of a special holiday to look forward to after the move is perfect.

“We are delighted that Connor ad Flo are looking forward to moving to The Parks and wish them many years of happiness in their new home.”
