Miller Homes to build over 450 North East homes in 2023

Miller Homes is set to continue investing in the North East in 2023, with a move to a new, larger regional head office and construction of over 450 homes.

The move to its new 7,500sq ft office at Cobalt Business Park and the start of construction at a number of sought-after sites across County Durham will see the firm create more than 30 jobs over the next 12 months. The exclusive Seaham Garden Village development is just one of the housebuilders ambitious projects for 2023, with Miller Homes delivering 375 new-build homes to market as part of the scheme.

Work will also begin on Bishops Walk, on the outskirts of Durham city centre, with both developments offering a range of two to five bedroom homes aimed at customers from all walks of life, from first time buyers to second steppers and those looking to downsize.

Construction has also begun on phase two of its popular Stephenson Meadows development, on the outskirts of Newcastle, with phase two of the Longridge Farm scheme in Bedlington to get underway in early Spring.

To make it easier for customers to secure their dream home, Miller Homes has also launched a national incentives campaign to help homebuyers save tens of thousands of pounds on any reserved property until the end of January. This includes 5 per cent deposit paid, cashback when customers move or a guaranteed purchase of their old home.

Patrick Arkle, regional managing director at Miller Homes North East, said: “We have seen interest in new build properties surge across the UK over the past 12 months, and this is especially true for the North East. One of the key contributors to this has been the stunning locations we’ve been fortunate enough to secure and the fantastic effort of our teams to deliver homes which are built with our customers in mind.

“With more people now working from home than ever before, we are delivering properties that are flexible enough to help customers really add their own stamp to their homes and ensure they meet their every need.

“Another factor driving interest in new-build homes is the spiralling costs associated with renovating an old home. When you factor in all of the work associated with revamping an old property, it can cost tens of thousands of pounds.

“The energy crisis has also led to many older homes becoming unaffordable to run, whereas new-build properties are built with energy efficiency in mind and save buyers, on average, £2,600 a year on utilities alone.

“And with our January incentives and more exciting developments in the pipeline, I think we can be confident that 2023 will be another fantastic year for the team.”
