New homes receive a ‘ferry’ good response

The release of three-bedroom homes at Ferryfields, Miller Homes’ striking development at Broughty Ferry in Dundee, saw the return of what many in the industry thought they would never see again – buyers queuing to make sure they got a chance to secure one of the stunning new homes.

With just eight new properties released, buyers began to form an orderly queue 24 hours before the sales centre opened, ensuring four out of the five three-bedroom homes sold in record time.

Anne Marie Britton, regional sales director for Miller homes Scotland (Ltd), says, “The launch of Ferryfields is hugely encouraging. While we had experienced an upsurge in sales at this development in recent months, and expected a good response to the first release of three bedroom properties, Miller Homes is delighted at the high level of demand for these homes.

“Part of the reason for this success is that we have created a development that ticks all the right boxes for family buyers in terms of affordability and a convenient location.

“Also, we were quick to respond to a recent growing trend, where increasing numbers of family buyers are keen to secure three-bedroom properties. Miller Homes has countered that demand by introducing a new range of house types, which are the first three bedroom properties at Ferryfields, and the reaction to our launch speaks for itself.”

The new three bedroom terraced house types include the Stanton and the Cather. Each home provides plenty of family living space including a large lounge room/dining, which benefits from the luxury of a back garden accessed via patio doors, an en-suite master-bedroom and a highly practical kitchen that more than meets the requirements of busy family life.

As one would expect from an award winning house builder with some 75-years experience, the specification and finish is flawless within each property. Also, what is even more remarkable is that these homes are priced from only £145,000; a rare find within one of Dundee’s most sought after locales.

With the housing industry collectively running New Homes Week* across the UK from 14 to 20 September, which is an initiative to celebrate all the positive benefits of buying a new home, Miller Homes’ has clearly got off to a flying start.

Anne Marie adds, “The signs within the property market in Dundee are extremely positive and we are experiencing a similar trend across several of our developments in both the east and west of Scotland. It is testament to the confidence buyers have in the Miller Homes’ product and also underlines that if you respond to the changing needs of the market, buyers will reciprocate.”

In addition to the fresh mix of generously sized three-bedroom terraced homes, Ferryfields features a number of ample four and five bedroom detached properties, which have already proven to be a firm favourite amongst Dundee’s house-hunters during phases one and two.

Situated on the periphery of Dundee, in the picturesque town of Broughty Ferry, Ferryfields is in perfect proximity to all that life near the coastline has to offer. Local amenities can be enjoyed a mere mile away in Broughty Ferry’s popular shopping centre. Oozing culture and historical charm, Dundee is one of Scotland’s largest cities, and is renowned as ‘the city of discovery’.

Additionally, Dundee boasts excellent national road and rail links, perfect for those who wish for an easy commute into Edinburgh, Perth, Glasgow or Aberdeen. Ferryfields is also well placed for quick access to the main Kingsway A972 road.

Prices at Ferryfields are currently released from £145,000. For further information visit millerhomes.co.uk.
