Why choose a new home?

There are numerous reasons for buying a new home, which will vary depending upon the reason for the purchase. Some of the most popular are as follows:

• The eco credentials - new homes are up to 4 times more energy efficient than older properties - resulting in lower energy bills
• As the properties are newly completed, the maintenance costs are lower and there is no need to redecorate!
• Internal layouts have been carefully designed for modern living
• The allure of being the first owner
• The opportunity to personalise your new home e.g. selecting kitchen units
• The range of builder 'incentives' to assist with making the move a reality
• Peace of mind provided by a 10 year warranty often provided by the NHBC, to cover structural defects
• Some builders offer the opportunity to part-exchange your existing home
• The innovation of the latest construction techniques and technology
• Modern locks and alarms can mean lower insurance premiums
• Stringent planning laws ensure careful planning of large new homes schemes to incorporate public open space, local play areas and often also local amenities such as schools or community centres
• Hassle free move - no need to worry about upward chains, as soon as you new home is completed you can move straight in!
