The Benefits of Buying a New Build
When considering a house move, often there are many many different decisions to make. One prominent decision is whether to go for a new build or an older property. It totally depends on many personal factors, but new builds come with plenty of advantages vs. older properties which we will explore below:
Energy Efficiency
New build homes are much more energy efficient than older homes, owing to better insulation, glazing and more modern appliances. A lot of thought goes into the design and building approach, to maximise the use of energy - and using more renewable sources. Not only does this save you money year after year on bills, but this means new builds are also better for the environment
Choice
Depending on when you reserve your home, it’s likely you will be able to have a choice in the plot position. You will also attend an options meeting, where you can select things like kitchen worktops, cupboards and bathroom tiles
Fresh new home
Upon moving into your new home, everything from the paintwork to tiling will have been completed. This should mean a stress free start to life in your new home, as once the packing is done, you are able to start enjoying your new place.
Financial Options
There are ways to make your money go further, such as making the most of the help to buy and shared ownership opportunities, which are only on offer to new build purchases
No seller chain
We’ve been there, and long chains when trying to exchange on a house are really not fun. The positive of a new build is that you aren’t relying on a ‘seller,’ minimising the parties in your chain, and therefore minimising the potential risk of things not moving forward as expected
