Miller Homes Press Release

Miller Homes has this month [May] already celebrated the launch of a new show apartment at its ever popular Bonnington development, in the bustling district of Leith.  This latest addition makes the award-winning housebuilder’s offering even more alluring to apartment hunters looking for an inner city abode that’s both stylish and affordable.

Anne Marie Britton, Sales Director for Miller Homes in Scotland, said:  “Owing to the success of our first show-apartment, launched during phase one last year, which was snapped up quickly, we thought it best to give house-hunters today that same opportunity. 

“Due to the dynamic layout of the properties at Bonnington and the excellent specification buyers really need to view what’s on offer to fully appreciate exactly what they get for the price.”

Designed and styled with today’s modern professional buyer in mind, Miller’s new two bedroom show apartment ticks all the boxes when it comes to fresh appeal.  By utilising bright tints including whites and creams, which are cleverly contrasted with shades including ebony and silver, Miller’s design team has created a welcoming yet slick apartment, perfectly showcasing what can be achieved with some creative flair.

As soon as buyers set their eyes on the show apartment’s main open-plan living and dining area, they are sure to fall for its alluring charm, owing to the natural light that floods in through the large windows.

In the lounge, contemporary square cream sofas and a prominent black and white patterned rug contrast perfectly with the clean winter white walls and Karndean floors, which aesthetically impress, yet ensure maintenance is kept to a minimum.  This particular room has been expertly styled to appeal to a buyer who knows exactly what her or she wants.  A minimalist dream, this clutter free living space will provide the perfect on-trend retreat for its modern new owner.

Moving onto the fully-fitted kitchen, where features include a stainless steel oven and hob, coupled with a black stardust worktop, set off by the walnut wood of the cupboards, this culinary hub presents the ideal setting for entertaining friends or family.

Moving onto the bedrooms, the master is sure to impress visitors. With its retro feel and light, airy space, it is as chic as it is daring. A white wooden bed frame, scattered futuristic silver cushions and a stylish throw bring the room together, whilst minimalist modern art canvasses add a finishing touch. A convenient en-suite services the master bedroom, which is a calming vision of off-white tiles.

The second double-bedroom provides the home with a touch of glamour, where a mirrored tall-boy and bold silver bed covers embossed with a black floral pattern make a dramatic statement, which will inspire buyers to create their very own boudoir.

Further adding to the appeal of the development is Miller Homes’ popular ‘MiWay’ shared equity initiative.  With MiWay, buyers simply arrange their own finance for 80% of the purchase price and Miller Homes provides a loan to make up the other 20%.   The customer still owns 100% of the property from day one and has nothing to repay for up to 10 years.  After 10 years, or when they sell or transfer their home, the buyer simply pays back the 20% of their home’s market value at that time. 0% interest is payable for the first five years and 3% interest is payable for the next five years.*

Prices for a two bedroom apartment at Bonnington are currently released from £169,000, which is only £135,200 under Miller Homes’ MiWay scheme, making these the most competitively priced new build apartments in this part of the Capital.

Miller Homes is also providing buyers with an alternative buying option, under the house-builder’s recently launched, and hugely popular Deposit Match initiative.  With Deposit Match, Miller Homes effectively matches a buyers deposit at the time of purchase, by up to five percent of the property’s value, and the buyer has nothing to pay back at all.*

Furthermore, 2010 is the company’s 75^th Anniversary and for visitors Bonnington, this means they will have the chance enter Miller Homes’ birthday bonanza’, which runs until 22nd May.   There are eight holidays up for grabs across the UK, with Scotland guaranteed one of the holidays, meaning someone could be swapping Scotland’s capital for Spain at some point this summer.

Better still, the holiday winner will also have the chance to walk away with £7,500 in the second phase of the ‘birthday bonanza’** competition, which goes live in June, giving all visitors to millerhomes.co.uk the opportunity to vote for their preferred winner, and the chance to scoop in iPod Shuffle – just by taking part.
