You can reserve your new home by meeting with one of our Development Sales Managers, completing a reservation agreement and paying a reservation fee, which reserves your new home.  

During this reserved period your new home will be withdrawn from sale and it will not be subject to any price increases. We will then ask you to exchange contracts and pay a deposit on exchange (usually 8 weeks after reservation). This reservation fee and deposit are then deducted from the price of your home.

You can also complete a Pre-reservation or an Online Pre-reservation which means we will hold your home for 72 hours, in which we will be in touch to discuss how to progress your reservation.

Meeting deadlines:
If you have any problems meeting deadlines please inform us immediately. We will do our utmost to accommodate delays but regrettably we may have to put your home back on the market if you are unable to meet your exchange deadline. However we can sometimes arrange for you to have first choice of future releases.

Your new home is insured by Miller Homes until the moment of legal completion. From then on you are responsible for the insurance of both the buildings and its contents.

Your mortgage lender will insist on building insurance. They may recommend an insurer but you should also be able to shop around for the best deals - please check with your lender on the type and amount of cover required.

Contents insurance can in many cases be included within the building insurance policy. However you can have separate insurance providers for buildings and contents. It is your choice whether to insure your contents or not.

A Home check meeting usually takes place a couple of weeks before you get the keys to your new home. You may wish to employ a qualified inspector to attend the meeting with you, or on your behalf, to inspect your home using a checklist provided by the New Homes Quality Code and raise any points identified with the Site Team. Your Development Sales Manager can provide you with more information about the meeting.

If you reserved your home after 3rd January 2023, your home buying journey will include a Home Check meeting because your reservation is covered by the New Homes Quality Code.
Reservations prior to 3rd January 2023 are covered by the Consumer Code. Although you won’t attend a Home Check meeting, these homes still receive the same stringent checks and the opportunity to view your home at your Home Demonstration prior to getting your keys.
