Reservations on the up Miller Homes has taken a high number of reservations on homes at their Connaught Green development.
CONNAUGHT GREEN
Prospective buyers at the Anfield development have been able to take advantage of the HomeBuy Direct scheme. The initiative provides an interest-free loan of up to 30 per cent of the property value for the first five years and then the interest on the loan is capped for up to 20 more years, allowing qualifying buyers to own 100 per cent of the property, with what amounts to a 30 per cent deposit. Since March, over a fifth of the reservations for the development have been made through the HomeBuy Direct
scheme. Jacqui Gutteridge, sales consultant at Connaught Green, commented: “This is a very popular scheme. We will work with the home buyer at every step of the way to ensure that they get the very best deal.” Buyers are currently able to snap up a three bedroom ‘Tarporley’ from just £104,965. For more information on homes at Connaught Green, telephone Miller Homes on 0800 840 8526, or email connaughtgreen@miller.co.uk. Your Move 37
