Testimonials

“As a first-time buyer it’s nerve wrecking, but Stewart Milne Homes put me at ease.”

“It was a very comprehensive house building exercise.”
They gave me some colour schemes to choose from, but instead of just showing me a slab of colours they let us go to see all the different combinations in the houses. They updated us with the progress of the build and we actually felt a part of everything. It was just the general support and contact all the way through from the sales to the site team. There are still people around and available to do odd jobs in the houses. I can’t recommend them enough.

“Everything has been amazing, even the introduction to my neighbours.”
I always get a “hello” when I see them on the estate. Sometimes it makes a big difference having nice neighbours. Our block is full of younger residents, but there are older families here too, and we’ve all been having little house parties. It’s crazy getting on so well with everyone.

“The most positive part of the development is the green aspect.”
It’s a well-built development with a variety of houses and a lot of space. You don’t feel on top of each other, like you would in other housing estates. An example would be that there is a nice, green open space in front of the house, and I’m sure there will be a local feature at the front as well. It’s hard to sum it up, but from all the other houses we looked at, it looks like they’ve brought together all the best bits of other homes into one.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because of the continuous contact and the specification of the house. We are very happy with the home we picked.

"I love the location and the community atmosphere within the estate."

"We came from more of a town, and we were looking for a new build."
We'd never had a new build before, and when we were looking the sales staff here were very friendly. We liked new builds because of the lack of maintenance and when we found our home, it ticked all our boxes.

"From a personal point of view, Upton Pines is in close proximity to work and schools, but we're quite lucky with our aspect of the woods."
Our plot overlooks a wooded park that surrounds probably a quarter of the estates and there are a lot of footpaths going through it, so there is quite a lot of green space here. On top of that, all of my neighbours are nice and friendly.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because the whole process was good.

“For our first home, the process has been so easy.”

“It felt really personal.”
The Site Manager, Pete, and Sales Consultant, Claire, know us by our first name and wave to us in the street. They can’t do enough. We’ve been led so seamlessly through the journey, with the team constantly updating us and sending us emails, that we always felt in the loop and like we knew what we were doing. Pete looked after the snags and he’s been calling around to check if we need anything and if we’ve settled in. We always thought the home buying process would be stressful, but it’s been an enjoyable, easy experience, and that’s down to the customer service. On our community Facebook page, across the board it looks like everyone is happy. Claire even put up reminders and numbers to call for certain situations. I feel really looked after here.

“The homes are brilliant value for money.”
The curb appeal is brilliant. They’re good looking, well built, good quality and they actually have good storage. There’s so much to choose when you’re selecting your kitchen, with the choice of cupboards, flooring, tiles in the bathroom and the finishing on the wardrobe doors.

“It’s just so peaceful.”
Pen Pentre is a small development with forty-three houses, surrounded by a lot of greenery. They haven’t crammed in too many houses so it’s great they’ve left the space. The building is ongoing here as well, and it’s nice that we haven’t been affected by that at all.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because it’s been a smooth process and from start to finish you are made to feel valued. Help is on hand if you need it and the homes are great value for money.

"Before we moved, my son and his family bought a Stewart Milne Home in Winchborough; as they spoke so highly of them, we decided to purchase on Calderwood II."

"I was pleased with their quality of build."
The finish of the properties outside is excellent with a mixture of render and stone cladding making the houses look very attractive. Inside, the kitchens are fantastic with all the appliances, storage cupboards and worktop finishes. The bathrooms and en suite are well kitted out.

"It's a very quiet, peaceful development."
We're situated in a nice area with no through roads, so there is not a lot of traffic and we're very lucky to have the country park just a few minutes' walk away.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because we are so pleased with the house. We have been treated well and the materials are excellent.

“We’re happy with our home and the friendly, welcoming community; we’re looking forward to spending our future here.”

“One of the reasons we chose to move, was to have bigger bedrooms for our children as they grow up, and we managed to achieve that with this design.”
They had a range of options to suit various customer needs, with homes ranging from three, to four and five-bedroom homes. Some homes also came with the option of a second living area that could be chosen to meet individual needs, such as a TV room, dining room or toy room for the children. We chose the toy room.

“As we drive up to the development the layout and the home designs make it really appealing to the eye.”
I like the design of the paths we can walk on to access the various parts of the development, and they are building a play park for the children too. It will be nice to have a nice, large, communal grass area that the whole community can use in the summer.

“Brackenhill Park has all the essential amenities and transport links for pleasure or for commuting to work.”
The local area is part of what made this home the right choice for us. There are two accessible railway stations, a bus station and shops nearby to get supplies. There are also a lot of restaurants close by to enjoy.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because the house designs are really nice and attractive and it's a nice area to reside in.

“Dunnottar Park is perfect for young family living.”

“Compared to standard new estates, this is quite modern.”
The styles of the homes are all different with some clad in wood, some with brick and some with slate. I have a one-year old boy, so the layout of our home is perfect. Our kitchen has an area for a dining room and living area, so I can be with him and get things done. The main reason we chose Stewart Milne Homes over the other developer in the area is because of where we’re situated.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because we got really good value for money and we are happy with the finish of the house.

"Calderwood is a nice, open development and the neighbours are lovely."

"We had the usual concerns, like what the amenities would be like and what the layout of the development would be."
We did our research and found out there was a helpful Facebook page that was handy for asking people for advice. The people living here are so friendly and we were pleased to find the houses are spaced out, so you don't feel crammed in. I'm also looking forward to the shop, pub and school that will be conveniently in walking distance when they are developed in a couple of years.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because the staff are superb which makes a huge difference and the build quality seems really good.

“What I like most is the build standard of the houses and that the staff have all been very friendly and helpful.”

“There is some immediate kerb appeal.”
The houses are well presented. We were happy with the general condition of our home when we moved in, having only minimal snagging. The inside and outside had been cleaned to a high standard; the gardens were all turfed and fences erected. Small areas of grassland have been incorporated in the site for children’s play areas, including a walkway around the outside, thus providing some immediate facilities. There’s a good mix of houses designs which maintains the overall kerb appeal of Parish Meadows. We really did our homework before buying here. It was good to know that many things were included in the purchase price.

It’s a friendly community that’s in the middle of everything.
Symington is very central for Troon, Prestwick and Ayr which are all about ten minutes by car. We have supermarkets, retails parks and car Dealerships nearby, and a convenient Co-op on the development itself. For families with young children, the school in Symington has a good reputation, and good schools for older children aren’t far away. We also have the added bonus of only being a few minutes away from several the beaches.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because of the good value for money.

“We moved from our old house into a shiny, new one.”

“The outlook of our house is over old, established trees and a brook.”
We already lived in Sandbach, but on a main road in a cottage. Moving here, we’ve already noticed how much quieter it is. It’s such a small development and it feels like part of the village. Rather than building houses everywhere, they’ve left quite a lot of open space and a good amount of green, like a big field at the front of the estate. They’re making an effort to add features like a bridge over the brook and footpaths actually linking us to the village and they’re also putting in a small park for the kids.

“Whilst show homes are beautiful, you don’t know what to expect until you buy; we were pleasantly surprised with the quality.”
Our home has an excellent finish in terms of the paintwork and the quality of the tiling, certainly better than other developers. The layout also creates a good amount of space. Downstairs we have a big kitchen and dining room, and it’s nice and open with the double doors going out into the garden. Our garden is bigger than we expected, a really decent size. We worried about parking because you hear such awful things about new estates and the lack of space creating congestion on the pavements, but here it's been a nice surprise that that they have provided enough parking for everyone.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because compared to other estates we have looked around, the quality is better and the standard of fittings and fixtures is better.

“We’ve made Den View home very quickly.”

Den View is a great place to live.
We have found that Den View is a great place to live. We are still classified as being in Aberdeen, but we are also close to the countryside. We have great access to the city thanks to the new western bypass road. The area is receiving lots of investment, including new schools, communal parks, walkways as well as new restaurants to complement the state-of-the-art business park, Prime Four. Not to mention Aberdeen FC’s new football stadium will also be within a short walking distance.

Den View itself is very sympathetic to the topography of where it is built, and Stewart Milne Homes hasn’t just tried to put as many houses on the land as possible, like some other developers have.

I have space for everything now and options for the future.
My property is split over three storeys, even though it looks like a two-storey home, because of how well Stewart Milne Homes has used the topography of the area. On my ground floor, I have a massive kitchen/living area where we have space for our big dining table with 6 chairs, large sofa, jukebox and everything else. We have two small dogs and they love running around down there. From here we have triple bi-fold doors that open out onto the south facing decking and garden area. We also have Velux Cabrio windows from our master bedroom which are so stylish and such a great feature.

Stewart Milne Homes has built our home with a flexible design in mind. There is an additional, separate lounge on the middle floor which we could change into a fourth bedroom if needed. In fact, they offer the option of changing the huge top floor master bedroom into two smaller rooms which we could use in the future.

We have had excellent customer service.
Stewart Milne Homes has been great to deal with. If we have had any concerns, someone has immediately got back to us. On one occasion, we raised an issue with the slope on the driveway and within a week it had been dug up and rectified.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes...
...because we love our new home. Stewart Milne Homes has been open to negotiation and we love the friendly nature of their staff and managers. You're not just a number; you're looked after personally.
