Miller Homes have found awards success once again as the house
builder picked up three gongs at this year's What House? industry
awards.
The UK's largest independent housebuilder was awarded accolades
for Best Partnership Scheme and Best Sustainable Development for
its eco project, Miller Zero in Basingstoke and picked up a bronze
award for the coveted Best Large Housebuilder.
The judges comments heaped praise on the way that Miller deals
with its customers, giving them 'a voice' and making them
'proactive participants, not passive consumers'. The judges also
noted the strength of their customer charter which 'leaves little
to chance'.
Code for Sustainable Homes project, Miller Zero once again
proved the jewel in the crown, picking up yet another two awards.
Judges pointed out the significance of putting Government theory
and green ideology into practice by building 'a living breathing
development of zero carbon homes'.
The award for Best Partnership Scheme made clear the importance
of shared learning, as Miller Homes not only built the homes but
threw open its doors to suppliers and competitors alike, so they
too could learn from this vitally important project.
Sue Warwick, national sales and marketing director for Miller
Homes, said: "This has been a fantastic year of award wins and the
three What House? Awards make an exciting addition to our list of
achievements. The judges' comments proved the hard work that goes
into everything we do, and everything we do centres around our
customers."
This latest batch of award wins comes just weeks after the
housebuilder scooped top gongs at the Housebuilder, Scottish Home,
The Herald and First Time Buyer Reader Awards.
Sue continues: "It is my hope that these awards demonstrate to
customers that we are the best in the business."
Miller Homes' development at Augustus Park is currently giving
buyers a helping hand with the HomeBuy Direct Scheme* where a range
of three, four and five bedroom homes are currently available, with
prices starting from £160,965.
* If buyers qualify for HomeBuy Direct they could pay as little
as 70% now of their new home and borrow the rest from the
Government and Miller Homes. After 25 years, or when they sell or
transfer their home, whichever comes first, they simply pay back
the 30%* of their home's market value at that time.
