Is A New Build The Right Route For You?

Is A New Build The Right Route For You?

Whether you’re just getting your feet onto the property ladder or are looking to downsize after the children have flown the nest, the ease of a new build home could be the perfect solution for you.

There are many benefits to a new home, including less time spent on renovation and maintenance that can often come with older properties, and the chance to make the property truly yours. To help you decide whether a new build is right for you, we’ve put together a list of more benefits below:

 

Keeping the warmth in

Today’s new build homes are required to match the minimum standards for energy efficiency, meaning the blustery winter weather outside won’t find its way into your well-insulated home. With the cost of heating our homes ever increasing, it’s an important factor to consider when purchasing a property, helping save you money in the long run, as well as keeping your home warm and inviting.

While you can retrofit certain elements of your existing house to improve its energy efficiency, this can be a costly and time-consuming investment. The ease of a new build, with little to no DIY or maintenance required to bring it up to shape, can be the most attractive prospect of owning a brand-new home.

 

Personalise your blank canvas

If you buy off-plan (purchasing your property before it’s completed) you’ll be able to really put your stamp on your new home and tailor it to your tastes. From choosing your fixtures and fittings, to decorating your space from top to bottom, think of your new home as a canvas waiting to be painted.

They’ll be no bright yellow walls to cover from a previous owner, or an outdated carpet to-refit, instead, from the moment you reserve, to the minute you’re handed the keys, this blank canvas is all yours.

 

Deals

We have a number of incentives on offer, making it easier for a range of househunters to achieve their dream home, including the government-backed Help to Buy equity loan scheme and our Part Exchange scheme. Whether you’re looking to downsize, or move as your family grows, we’ve got everything covered.

The government-backed Help to Buy equity loan scheme helps buyers secure a mortgage on a new-build of their dreams by providing only a 5% deposit on the property – but don’t forget, this incentive isn’t just open to first-time buyers, it’s available to anyone looking to secure their perfect home.

To take the stress out of moving, our Part Exchange scheme offers you the freedom to sit back and relax, without worrying about estate agent fees or chains. We’ll take care of everything, from arranging your independent valuation to putting your home on the market, so you can start the all-important packing process.

 

Test drive your new home

Buying a home is a big commitment, but just like test-driving a car, you’ll be able to get a feel of the space you’re investing in by exploring one of our many showhomes.

The showhomes give you the perfect opportunity to sample life in a new home. You’ll also be able to take inspiration from the expertly designed rooms, which can help you to visualise styling your own home, and ensure you use the space to your advantage. It might even give you an idea about how to theme your rooms, or add that all-important splash of colours to your walls.
