Aberfell is the ideal choice for those who appreciate the understated modern elegance of a new development in a local community that has history and natural beauty on its side.

ABERFELL by SCOTIA

Every feature of this development has been carefully tailored to the area by Scotia’s designers — from the placement of each home and treatment of greenspace boundaries, to the careful planning of streets, paths and greenery. Maximising views of the surrounding area have been key to this planning process, and much emphasis has been placed on ensuring Aberfell has a strong sense of community and place.

ARBROATH AND BEYOND A former royal burgh with a traditional fishing harbour, Arbroath embodies the natural beauty and history of the much-loved Angus coast.

The long, sandy beaches and sandstone cliffs along this stretch of shoreline make up some of Scotland’s most picturesque seaside vistas.

The historical influence of fishing on Arbroath has fed directly into another famous aspect of this harbour town — food and drink. The ‘Arbroath smokie’ is its most famous export, but present-day Arbroath offers a wide range of cuisines for locals and visitors to enjoy — from fresh seafood, to luxury fine dining, to Greek, Mediterranean and more.

Keen gardeners will have Silverwells Garden Centre and Ashbrook Nursery just a short drive away — offering all

manner of plants, flowers, gardening equipment and year-round inspiration.

Growing families have great school options in the area, and children can attend a range of nurseries and primary schools nearby, with secondary pupils attending Arbroath Academy and Arbroath High School.

You won’t have to travel far for family days out either — with Pleasureland indoor amusements, West Links Fun Park and Upper Dysart Larder’s ‘Hay & Play’ all within a short distance, and guaranteed to keep kids and grown-ups entertained.

Similarly, if pedal power is your preferred way to exercise and enjoy the beautiful Scottish countryside, then Angus Cycling Club and Angus Bike Chain Club offer both community and (optional) competition for riders of all experience levels and abilities. Sociable cycling is an ever-growing hobby for many, and there’s no better place to try it than the country roads and seaside routes of Arbroath and the Angus coast.

Further down the coast in the nearby city of Dundee, the Ancrum Outdoor Centre is a hub for all manner of activities and regularly hosts ‘team-building’ events for businesses. Visitors can try their hand at archery, chain walking, kayaking, paddle boarding, rock climbing, mountaineering and skiing — with training courses delivered by experienced instructors and key equipment provided for most activities.

Golfers won’t be disappointed either — the local Arbroath Golf Links is a popular 18-hole course that will offer a challenge to even the most experienced player, with the Arbroath Artisan golf club offering members and visitors great views of the first and eighteenth holes, with a varied food and drink offering and a range of other facilities. Just a short hop down the coast, the world-famous Carnoustie Golf Links has hosted numerous Open Championships and has three courses to play, including the renowned Carnoustie Championship Course.

DUNDEE: SCOTLAND’S CITY OF DESIGN Now established as a city of innovation, design and culture — one of Scotland’s most exciting places to visit — Dundee is an ever-evolving place characterised by bold works of architecture and engineering, both historical and contemporary.

Built in the shadow of an extinct volcano, the city began as a small port in the 11th and 12th centuries. Now recognised by UNESCO as a City of Design and home to Scotland’s first ever design museum — The V&A Dundee — it’s clear to see that modern-day Dundee places art, innovation and culture at the forefront.

There’s plenty of shopping, hidden history around every corner and foodies will find plenty to get their teeth into.

Dundee boasts an ever-expanding range of restaurants,

18

ABERFELL by SCOTIA

cafés, bistros, bars and eateries — everything from fine dining to fast food — and in recent years the city has several restaurants listed in the AA’s The Restaurant Guide.

With Dundee just a short drive away, Perthshire as a near neighbour and the gateway to the Highlands within reach, Aberfell is a perfect starting point for planning day trips with family, exploring Scotland’s wilds and wowing your guests with great food and drink.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

CREATING AN EFFICIENT HOME Taking practical, effective steps to lower energy consumption and reduce our overall carbon footprint is smart thinking — both for the planet and for household bills. From design and construction to the installation of heating and hot water systems, energy efficiency is considered at every stage of Scotia communities.

NEW BUILD BUYERS SAVE £3K+ IN ENERGY BILLS

electricity consumption in real time. On average, these result in 10-20% self-imposed reductions in energy usage.

A Home Builders Federation report* published in 2023 found that an average new build buyer will reduce their annual carbon emissions by over 2 tonnes per property.

In practical terms, the report found that new build owners can save an average of £3000 in energy bills each year, compared to older properties.

SUSTAINABLE GAS & SOLAR PANELS

With these efficiencies in mind, Scotia developments are also fitted with energy efficient combination gas boilers and Alpha Flow Smart “Gas Saver’’ systems — harnessing boiler wastage to pre-heat cold mains water. ‘ To: ‘With these efficiencies in mind, Scotia’s Aberfell development also features energy efficient Alpha E-Tec combination boiler with a programmable room thermostat.

Each home will have a simple energy saving meter installed as standard — allowing you to see actual

In keeping with the forward-thinking, contemporary approach that defines this development, photo-voltaic (solar) panels will also be included on the roofs of all homes. *Source: ‘Watt A Save’, Home Builders Federation — October 2024

BROADBAND

KEEPING YOU CONNECTED With superfast fibre optic broadband straight to your home (FTTP).

From streaming television and family facetimes, to controlling home security and heating, the need to stay digitally connected has become an integral part of our daily lives.

WHY IS FTTP BETTER THAN FTTC? With Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), the fibre optic cables go straight into your home, there is no drop off in internet speed caused by sharing the connection with neighbours, or being further away from the on-street cabinet. It is up to 10 times faster than Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) and is also very resilient as there is less exposure in terms of connection being harmed by water or chemicals.

DOES FTTP COST MORE? The installation costs for FTTP can be prohibitive as it is more expensive to install than FTTC, which is why it is not readily available in the UK. However, at Aberfell, the installation is paid and complete by the time you move into your new home.

Ongoing monthly broadband costs will not cost more just because your home has FTTP, it will be as per the standard rate of your chosen broadband supplier.

FACTORING

IT’S NICE TO HAVE THINGS TAKEN CARE OF A professional property manager - or factor - works for every owner in a development: organising tradespeople for repairs and maintenance; including cleaning, gardening and grass cutting in common areas.

WHAT IS A FACTOR’S FUNCTION? e appoint the right factor for your development. The W factor will make decisions on your behalf and organise the work for you. Remember that you can let the factor know about any work you think needs to be done.

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF A MAJOR MAINTENANCE FUND? By saving up for major works, you don’t have large invoices to settle. A debt can be spread over the development, so the money is available before the work starts.

HOW IS THE FACTOR PAID? An invoice for your share of maintenance and management fees is normally issued either quarterly or six-monthly.

WHAT IS A MAJOR MAINTENANCE FUND? A Major Maintenance Fund is normally set aside to ‘save up’ for larger maintenance items authorised by the owners within the development.

WHAT IS A FLOAT? It’s important a factor can pay for work promptly when required. A float paid by each property owner at settlement allows the factor to do this without the heavy burden of expense. Prompt payments ensure the best contractors are keen to do work for your development.

This can be recovered if you decide to sell your property.

WHO DETERMINES HOW MUCH THE OWNERS PAY INTO THE FUND? Each owner is a member of the residents association.

How much the owners pay into the fund is discussed at the residents association or executive committee meetings. Normally quotes for work are agreed first.

From this, an educated estimate can be made.

ABERFELL by SCOTIA

WILL THE FACTOR RUN UP LARGE BILLS? No. Don’t worry. The factor will have the authority to carry out work to the communal areas provided that the anticipated cost of any one item doesn’t exceed that amount. This limit can be exceeded in an emergency.

Otherwise, estimates will be obtained and distributed.

Instructions will be taken from you and your neighbours or the residents association representing you before any extraordinary works are carried out. If payments are required in advance, you will always be notified.
