Miller Homes’ tailored approach is the perfect fit
Miller Homes’ tailored approach at its Highfield Manor development, East Kilbride, is proving to be the right fit for buyers and further underlines the company’s commitment to customer care, which now spans an impressive 75-years.
Situated within the Lindsayfield area of one of Scotland’ most popular new towns, Highfield Manor represents Miller Homes’ sixth development in East Kilbride in recent years – therefore, it should come as no surprise that the company has provided a range of three, four and five-bedroom properties that tick all the boxes of what buyers really want from a new home.
As the company continues to deliver spacious family homes that combine quality with a competitive price tag, it also recognises that the needs of buyers within the same development can be very different, which is why Miller is providing two distinct purchasing solutions – Part Exchange and MiWay.
Anne Marie Britton, sales director of Miller Homes Scotland (Ltd) comments, “While we are seeing increasing numbers of buyers gain renewed confidence in the property market, this means that clients’ specific needs are shifting. Several months ago, focusing on pricing may have been a general consideration across many of our sites, but now there is a definite split.
“For many of our clients trying to secure one of our larger homes at Highfield Manor, their concern is very much on selling their existing property and our part exchange initiative can alleviate the burden of this for them. However, for those perhaps moving into their first home, securing a mortgage can still prove a bit of an obstacle, which is why we are also offering MiWay, our shared equity package.”
For those eager to move up the property ladder by purchasing one of the beautifully presented four and five-bedroom detached homes available at Highfield Manor, such as the stylish Hughes or majestic Keilder, then marketing their current home in East Kilbride, with it’s highly competitive second hand market, is not without its challenges.
Thankfully, Miller Homes’ Part Exchange package is available on a number of the four and five bedroom homes at the development. Effectively, the company markets and sells a client’s existing property, covering estate agency and surveyor’s fees as well as any associated advertising costs. More importantly, Part Exchange provides buyers with reassurance, which is utterly priceless.
However, for those potential purchasers who are considering buying their first home, then Miller Homes’ widely celebrated MiWay purchasing scheme is the perfect solution and is available on several of the three-bedroom properties at Highfield Manor including the thoughtfully planned Tamar.
Under MiWay, buyers simply arrange their own finance for 80% of the purchase price and Miller Homes provides a loan for the remaining 20%. With MiWay, buyers own 100% of their property from the outset, and the loan is only payable after ten years or when the property is sold, whichever comes first, with the owner simply paying back 20% of their home’s market value at that time.
One buyer who knows first-hand the positive benefits MiWay can provide is Miller Homes' purchaser, and first time buyer, Karen Stewart. Karen comments, “My partner and I had been considering looking for rented accommodation, as we were convinced we could not afford to buy our own property, let alone a new one.
“However, after dropping into the Miller Homes’ marketing suite we discovered MiWay. We’re absolutely thrilled with our new home, which is incredibly spacious with high quality fixtures and fittings. We definitely would not have been able to get on the property ladder without MiWay.”
Only a short drive from East Kilbride’s bustling town centre and close to a good choice of primary and secondary schools, Highfield Manor sits on the edge of the town surrounded by rolling countryside, presenting a rare opportunity to enjoy the convenience of a thriving modern town with the added charm of a highly attractive location.
