“Stewart Milne Homes cares about the people living in their houses.”

“Ballumbie Rise stands out from boring new builds because it looks different.”

I love it because it’s new and modern. The brickwork is a massive part of it. Rather than rows of white houses, the different colours make the houses look unique. The different layouts create interest and space, so the houses aren’t close together, and the green areas make it even better. It feels welcoming turning into the street by the sales office, and the trees and greenery frame the rest of the development. It’s well thought out, and that’s good.

“They’re great houses in a brilliant location, and at a great price.”

We have the smallest house type, yet our garden is twenty metres long. That’s massive for a new build and it will be so good for spending time with family in summer. Situated on a golf course and surrounded by countryside, it’s not noisy or busy here, and it’s still a convenient ten-minute journey to town.

“A lot of people say new builds have a lot of snags – we didn’t find that.”

The team is great. When we speak to the person in charge of the site, John, he sends the appropriate person to get things sorted quickly. The builders are nice and friendly, and they’re here within hours on the same day to fix things.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because the sales process is good and the houses are good quality.

“Ballumbie Rise is a very welcoming and quiet neighbourhood.”

Thinking about our future, it was the perfect choice.
Our house is a lot more spacious than we expected, and it’s even bigger in comparison to other new build developments. They’ve designed it to be family oriented, so we know as time goes on there will be room for our family to grow.

“Everyone is friendly, and I get a lot of help from the people onsite if I need it.”

John the Site Manager is very helpful. We can go to him for anything, and if he’s not around himself he’ll get someone else on the case. When we had a small issue with our unit, the joiners came and fixed it without bother.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because the experience we've had from start to finish has been nice, welcoming, and cosy.

“Stewart Milne Homes have a good reputation and we weren’t disappointed”.

“I think that Ballumbie Rise is unique”.
All of the houses are different; some have brickwork, others don’t. It’s unusual in this area to walk along the street and see a row of houses that don’t look the same. The properties are different shapes, sizes and colours, which makes the development attractive. We were concerned that there wouldn’t be enough room on the driveway, but now we’re in, we know there’s ample space. Ballumbie Rise is modern and allows for easy living.
Although it’s unfinished, Stewart Milne Homes take every opportunity to fix the road. Other places wait until the development is almost totally finished before putting the paths and roads in, but they’ve been considerate with doing the roads and keeping the building work away from us since we’ve moved in.

“The process has been a good experience”.
Stewart Milne Homes stuck to our entry date, despite being four or five weeks ahead of schedule, which was great. They engaged with us; this allowed us to move sockets and pick flooring. If we didn’t buy a new home, we'd have had to have done everything ourselves.

Completion day went smoothly and the personal touches were very nice; we got a lovely card with a small hamper and some flowers. Moving in was important to me, as it meant everything would be covered by the ten-year warranty, even though it was all up to date. This made us feel as though we were welcome on Ballumbie Rise. It was the start of a great aftersales service.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because we loved our experience; we couldn’t find any fault with it.

“It felt like home straight away, which is really good.”

“Before I bought, I’d heard Stewart Milne Homes was a good house builder, that their quality of build was really good”.
When I spoke to my sales consultant, Alison, she explained everything about the house and the estate, and since I’ve moved in, I’ve enjoyed living here. It’s a good-looking estate with a mixture of green areas. The houses have a good quality finish and are nicely spaced out. It’s also spacious with the addition of driveways and sizeable back gardens, especially compared to other new build estates I’ve seen.

It’s a great location.
I’m living beside a nice golf course, and it’s convenient to have local shops, a gym and schools nearby. We have access to doctors and dentists, and there’s good public transport with the development situated on a main bus route. Dundee is only a ten-minute journey away.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because of their great customer service, their ability to fix things quickly, the quality of the houses, and how good the estate looks so far.

“All my family’s needs are catered for in Ballumbie Rise.”


“It’s very convenient.”
Being close by Dundee city centre and Broughty Ferry town centre, we’re near takeaways and a lot of shops.
It’s also a plus to have so many places to walk our dog in this day and age. In one direction we have a beach and country walks, and the other way we have a golf course. Geographically it’s simple to get here, so when my family travels up from the south it will be easy for them to visit.

“On move in day, everything was done.”
All the carpets were in place, along with the white goods and lighting. I just came in with my furniture and I was all settled by teatime. Looking at the development, I love that all the houses are different, rather than having rows and rows of the same thing. I’m also looking forward to the lovely, landscaped area they will be adding in front of my house in the future.

“I’ve purchased a Stewart Milne Homes home before.”
I didn’t have a single issue with my last house. If anything came up it was fixed instantly. The service and process from purchasing to snagging was excellent. I’m happy to say my experience on Ballumbie Rise has been exactly the same.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because I think the finish is right, the value for money is right and the standard is right. The build-up and the aftersales service have been great too. From the minute I visited, to moving in, it has been a first-class service.
