Miller Homes investment in Stockton gets new boost

Miller Homes says now is the time to buy a home in Stockton as its High Street undergoes a £92,000 regeneration as a Portas Pilot town, spurring on ambitious regeneration plans.

Miller Homes regional sales director Steve McElroy explains: “Chosen ahead of hundreds of other towns, Stockton is one of only 12 to receive a chunk of the £1.2 million that Minister of State for Housing and Local Government Grant Shapps has set aside for the retail guru Mary Portas’ scheme.

“The investment programme aims to attract more retailers, businesses and shoppers by opening up new spaces and links to the River Tees, providing easier access and parking.

“The Council has also made a £20 million pledge to develop the High Street over the next five years, which hopes to see a revival of the evening leisure economy with live entertainment at the re-launched Globe Theatre, as well as make the town a popular shopping destination by staging regular evening markets.

“So with the Portas Pilot status looking set to regenerate Stockton as an attractive place to live, house prices may inevitably increase and demand will grow, which is why we feel that now really is the time to purchase a quality home whilst they are at a modest price.

“We have been investing in the town over the last couple of years in our Kingsmoor development, where properties such as two, three and four bedroom homes, are available from only £79,950 for a two-bedroom Type Y1 apartment and from £189,950 for a four-bedroom detached home. We also have number of purchase assistance schemes available at this development to make buying a home even cheaper, so now really is the time to invest in a future in Stockton.”

Kingsmoor is located a short 15 minute walk from the bustle of the soon-to-be-rejuvenated town centre and also the scenic banks of the River Tees. Its convenient location also provides easy access to the A66, making it an ideal commuter base.
