Couple find their forever home with Miller Homes

While January is often seen as a quiet and dreary time of year, for many homebuyers, it’s the perfect opportunity to make a fresh start. Miller Homes has noticed a growing trend of second steppers—families upgrading from their first home—choosing to move house during the winter months.

With the Christmas break offering time to reflect, plan, and organise, moving in the new year can feel like the perfect way to start a new chapter.

For Laura Taylor and her partner Adam, the decision to upgrade to a larger home was driven by their growing family’s needs. Already familiar with the benefits of buying with Miller Homes, the couple chose a 4-bedroom home at one of the homebuilder’s most sought-after developments, combining spacious design with thoughtful features.

Having purchased their first home, a 3-bedroom semi-detached property, from Miller Homes back in 2019, Laura and Adam were familiar with the company’s smooth homebuying process.

But now, with a baby on the way, they knew it was time for a larger space. “We bought our first home when we were just 21. It was perfect for us then, but now, with a baby on the way, we knew it was time to find somewhere more spacious,” Laura explains.

After searching for their forever home, the couple upgraded to the Kirkwood, a stylish 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home designed with modern family living in mind.

Features like a separate laundry room, open-plan layout, and French doors leading to the rear garden provide functionality and flow, while the en-suite shower room and walk-through dresser add a touch of luxury. “Having space for a home office is such a bonus,” Laura says. “It’s perfect for our growing family and future needs.”

What made the move even more exciting was how quickly everything came together. “We found the house in August and couldn’t believe how fast the process was,” Laura says. “From choosing our plot to settling in, it all took just 4-5 months. Miller Homes really delivered on their promise and made the entire experience so straightforward. It was amazing to move in and start this new chapter sooner than we expected.”

The decision to move to another new Miller home was an easy one. “The ease of moving into a fresh, clean home with everything ready is unbeatable,” Laura shares. “From appliances to flooring, it’s all done for you, and you get to choose décor and colours that make it feel truly personal.”

This time, the couple opted for additional upgrades, including spotlighting, an induction hob, and a wine cooler. “These touches have made our new home feel luxurious,” Laura adds. “It’s exactly what we envisioned for our growing family.”

Laura and Adam’s decision to return to Miller Homes was rooted in their earlier experience with the homebuilder,  “The process of buying our first home was so smooth,” they  recall. “As young buyers, we appreciated how Miller Homes provided guidance on everything, from mortgage advisors to solicitors. That reliability stayed with us, and it’s why we chose them again.”

This time around, the couple were equally impressed. “The sales team were brilliant, they kept us informed, answered every question, and made the entire process stress-free.” The Miller Homes app also played a pivotal role, helping them visualise upgrades like flooring and kitchen finishes. “It made designing our home so much easier,” Laura explains.

Having considered other builders, Laura and Adam believe Miller Homes remains unmatched. “It’s the attention to detail,” Laura says. “From stylish skirting boards to the range of options for finishes, everything feels thoughtfully designed. It’s what sets Miller Homes apart.”

Their new home at Lunts Heath Rise offers everything they were looking for: more space, a great location, and the high-quality build they’ve come to expect from Miller Homes. “We’re so happy with our decision,” Adam adds “It’s a home where we can build lasting memories, and we’d wholeheartedly recommend Miller Homes to anyone looking to make a move.”
