Jason Rishover, CEO of Heronslea comments: "Mill Hill Place is perfect for people wanting to downsize their space but upscale their quality of life. We have been building for the downsizers market for many years so over this time we have changed our design to reflect what people are looking for. We have found that buyers at Mill Hill Place are moving from places closer to Central London like Hampstead and Finchley downsizing from larger homes to get more for their money in Mill Hill. They are moving to this area, which they know and love to be near friends and family as well as places of worship, leisure facilities and clubs, which are all close by. Ultimately to get a better quality of life for less money – to a newer home, in leafy surroundings with the added extras of fine internal design and a concierge service.”
