2010 bodes well for Miller Homes Yorkshire
The noughties saw its fair share of property highs and lows yet according to the Nationwide, the start of a new decade is looking up for homeowners in the Yorkshire and Humber region, claiming the title of UK area which has seen the strongest property market growth, with house prices rising 84% over the last ten years.
Steve McElroy, sales director for award-winning housebuilder, Miller Homes in Yorkshire commented: “The last quarter of 2009 went remarkably well for our region we hit our target early which has already seen the start of the new decade boding well for us. I believe it is because savvy housebuyers throughout Yorkshire know that property is still a very secure long term investment. They have taken heed of the recent reports that say our region has some of the highest price rises over the last ten years, and are snapping up the new home offers still open to them.
“It is encouraging to see that two of our most popular cities, Leeds and Sheffield feature in the top five hottest areas, both with an annual house price change of 6%, meaning that an average priced house in Leeds now costs £175,139.”
Miller Homes, with developments across the region, has continually brought in measures to assist homebuyers throughout the recession. Steve continued: “People still need a home, they are encouraged by low interest rates and the fact that we have introduced a number of measures designed to help buyers no matter what their circumstances.”
The family-owned housebuilder offers, its own shared equity scheme, MiWay, and the Government backed Homebuy Direct, as well as other purchasing schemes such as Miller Homes’ part exchange scheme, Deposit Match, assisted moves and offers on legal fees.
Steve continued: “We are also extending the stamp duty holiday throughout the month of January on selected plots worth up to £175,000 across selected developments. These incentives are designed to make it as easy as possible to get onto and move up the property ladder.”
Miller Homes has developments across the region, offering a wide range of properties from apartments to spacious five bedroom family homes. To start a new decade in a brand new home, visit millerhomes.co.uk.
