Development Overview

Greenlaw Mains is a major new build homes community by Taylor Wimpey, strategically located off Belwood Road in Penicuik, Midlothian, EH26 0NW. The development is designed to deliver a total of 221 high-quality homes as part of a larger masterplan to provide 477 new dwellings in the area.

Taylor Wimpey, one of the UK’s largest housebuilders, holds a 5-star customer satisfaction rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), indicating that over 90% of their customers would recommend them. While the developer is considered a high-volume, mid-range builder, the 5-star rating is based on independent customer feedback, offering a measurable gauge of service and build quality in the initial two years of ownership. All new homes are protected by a 10-year NHBC warranty and a 2-year Taylor Wimpey warranty. Estate management fees apply, for example, a fee of approximately £225.00 per annum is noted for one of the larger properties.
