Family Deposit

Helping your family onto the property ladder has never been more rewarding. With Miller Homes' unique Family Deposit Scheme*, you can provide a financial boost for your loved ones while enjoying an impressive return on your investment. It's a win-win opportunity that's difficult to match.

How the Family Deposit Scheme Works

When you assist a family member by paying the deposit on their new Miller Home, you'll reap benefits from your generosity. An instant windfall equivalent to 5% interest per annum over 5 years* is paid from legal completion, offering a guaranteed return that can be hard to come by elsewhere.

Step 1

A family member contributes up to 20% of the home's purchase price as a deposit

Step 2

The homebuyer selects and moves into a brand new Miller home.

Step 3

Upon legal completion and moving in, Miller Homes pays a guaranteed lump sum equivalent to 5% interest for 5 years* to the deposit-contributing family member.

Collaborative Contributions and Flexible Options

In our scheme, more than one family member is allowed to contribute to the deposit. The interest can be paid by cheque to one person or into a nominated bank account as advised by your solicitor*.

To facilitate the process, and should you choose, Miller Homes can provide contact details for Independent Financial Advisers to assist you in choosing from their range of approved lenders.

The deposit can be gifted by your family member, meaning it doesn't need to be returned if the house is sold**. Alternatively, you can arrange through your solicitor to return the deposit to the family member at a time that suits both parties**.

The Family Deposit Scheme in Practice

Let's visualise this with an example. Say you're purchasing a 2-bedroom apartment priced at £150,000. With a 20% deposit of £30,000, your family member could benefit from a return of up to £7,500*.
Everyone truly does win with the Family Deposit Scheme*!
