About Miller Homes
Our background
Miller Homes, part of the Miller Group, is the nation’s largest privately-owned housebuilder. Since 1934 we have completed over 60,000 homes, and established ourselves as one of the top three housebuilders in Scotland and the North East of England, and top ten in the UK as a whole.
In 2000 we re-invented ourselves with a new image, a portfolio of new house-types, new locations in which to build and a new customer care programme. The quality and value of our product range has since shown dramatic improvement with our average selling price increasing from £74,000 in 1999 to £164,000 in 2008.
Our customer focus
Through our established customer care programme we pledge to communicate effectively and always deliver what we promise, without fail. Month on month, we have seen a massive improvement in overall satisfaction and in our most recent survey, conducted in 2009, 97% of our customers state they would happily recommend Miller Homes to their best friend.
We understand the experience of the customer journey and acknowledge that buying a house can be an anxious time – as a result, we have introduced several initiatives to help our customers through the whole process.
