Edinburgh-based firm targeting 6,000 homes a year

Miller Homes has completed its acquisition of St Modwen after a regulator gave the deal the green light.

The approval from the Competition and Markets Authority means Edinburgh-based Miller Homes has acquired 19 live sites, totalling 3,500 plots for new homes, along with five strategic sites. The value of the deal is thought to be worth £215m.

This gives it a presence in the South-west of England for the first time. Miller will continue to operate the brand under the St Modwen name.
