MHX - A sign for the times
A new sign could be appearing in a neighbourhood near you soon. Award Winning Miller Homes is best known for its new homes and apartments, is now branding its stock of pre-owned homes. So why should this matter to home buyers? By far one the greatest dislikes for homeowners wishing to move is having to put their property on the market. The thought of having people escorted through your home and tie up your time in appointments is enough to put most people off moving.
The house moving process use to go something like this: You see a home you want, make an offer, have it accepted and then put you house on the market, usually through an Estate Agent. The purchaser of your home would do something similar and so on. A property buying ‘chain’ is created and what is needed is an end to the chain, usually a first time buyer or and buyer without a property to sell.
Times have changed. Builders of new homes, like Miller Homes are offering an alternative. They were one of the first house builders to offer Part Exchange, so your old home can be traded in against a new one, much the same way people buy cars. The scheme is a success and now has a dedicated, specialist department that accounts for around 50% of all its new build house sales.
This is good news for two reasons. People wanting to buy a Miller Home can have the choice of a smooth transaction by part exchanging. Miller Homes pride themselves on being able to get an offer to buy a part exchange property within seven working days and can help in timing the house move to the completion date of the new home. This removes estate agents fees, the hassle of having buyers trample through you home, having to prepare a Home Information Pack [HIPs] and provides a ‘friend in the business’ to help explain the various stages in the buying process and the prompts in good time when some action is required.
The other reason is that there is a constantly changing stock of pre-owned properties moving through the Miller Homes system. Most in locations beyond the new build developments and most at ‘trade or very attractive’ prices. This is one more reason to visit a Miller Homes marketing suite at a new development and see the stock of MHX [Miller Homes eXchanged] properties or to regularly check out the Miller Homes web site millerhomes.co.uk and its MHX listings of properties or look for the MHX sign in the property for sale if you are scouting areas you would like to live.
The current market there are good properties out there and it is just a question of knowing where to look. Miller Homes web site is easy to use and now a good place to start house hunting, for new build or pre-owned homes nationwide.
