The development in East Calder, near Livingston, is made up of 25 homes for mid-market rent and 38 homes for social housing.

Lowther will manage the mid-market homes, with the social housing earmarked for Wheatley Homes East, both part of Wheatley Group.

The homes have been built to be energy efficient and benefit from EPC ratings of B, which will help tenants save money on their energy bills.

Rosemary Cole moved into one of the Lowther properties with her 19-year-old daughter Megan.

The 54-year-old clinical support worker says it has quickly felt like home. She said: “I moved here from a flat so it’s great having a garden and my own front door.

“The area is lovely, it’s quiet and not far from Livingston. I also have the added bonus of my older daughter and granddaughter living across the road, so I feel very settled.”

The £9.4 million project received grant funding from the Scottish Government and West Lothian Council.

Managing director of Lowther, James Ward, said: “Work has been taking place on the Raw Holdings site since July 2022, so it’s great to see the final tenants moving into the properties.

“It’s a great location with customers enjoying the peace of the countryside, while having all the amenities of Livingston right on their doorsteps.”
