Buying with miller homes

Parker1984

Anyone brought with miller homes and negotiated well or do they not give much away? We’ve seen a plot we liked and put a early bird on to reserve plot when it was released, it was released the other day and we went in to see them and the price has gone up 2k and there giving nothing away as they say the site has sold well, no carpets or flooring, there is 2 other houses exactly the same as the one we want that have been up a while now and still haven’t sold and they are up for 2k less , they said the price has raised because site has sold well and it’s the new phase? I no they probably knew we were keen with putting a early bird down , but we have now told them we don’t want it , the sales woman said we quiet possibly could offer you a better deal in a few weeks if it doesn’t sell, any experience with miller homes? Do we hold out and see or bite the bullet and go for it we love the plot but not providing any flooring is big for us thanks

Fact is, they're like any other developer or vendor. No one is going to give anything away if they can get full price and it's only just launched.

They will have sales targets. Whether they discount or throw in freebies depends on how those targets are being met as a whole, probably not just on that plot. They can wait to the end and discount the last ones left without undermining any other sales if things go well.

Have you seen if they are more flexible on the older, identical plots? That will tell you how long you might have to wait if someone else doesn't get in there first.

Not as if their homes are unique is it? Don`t be pressured, they will be forced to drop prices when interest rates rise.

She said to us the other plot which is the same has been on longer but I’m unsure how much longer, she said if it was that plot they might of been able to do a better deal, but with our plot they won’t because it’s only just been released she said her manger has said that all they can do is £500 towards legal fees at the moment and that’s only if we use there solictors, there’s 2 more house like the one we want and they’ve been up for 4-6 weeks and haven’t sold yet I asked if they’d had any interest week or so ago and she said no

No, falling mortgage approvals make it harder for developers to hold out for silly prices, therefore my link is very relevant IMO.

Nothing to do with the fact that its just mirroring the low sales volumes then....

Either or, it doesn`t matter, developers are finding it harder to shift over-priced tat. Banks tightening and low interest rates are lowering the pool of potential buyers, while still allowing deluded people to hold out for credit bubble prices. TBH many people probably still believe believe it is all about "supply and demand"
