Advantages of buying a new build home
| In today's competitive housing market and troubled economy, housebuilders frequently offer incentives to buyers of their new homes that those buyers just won't get on any re-sale property. Some of the special schemes and incentives offered include shared equity (including Government-funded schemes such as FirstBuy), part exchange on an existing home, access to special mortgage products, deposit paid or deposit match, payment of Stamp Duty, and the inclusion of extra fixtures and fittings. |
New-build homes are built to high standards of workmanship, energy efficiency and sustainability. If the housebuilder is a member of the National House-Building Council (NHBC), and the vast majority of housebuilders are, the new home must be satisfactorily inspected by an NHBC inspector and then granted a 10-year warranty to cover against certain structural problems.

New-build homes are often sold with the latest fixtures and fittings included as standard, for example double glazing and modern kitchen appliances that are far more reliable and energy efficient, and therefore cheaper to run, than older models.
|
Housebuilders are providing ever-higher internal specifications to meet the demands of today's homebuyers, which may include en-suite facilities to at least one bedroom, separate kitchen utility rooms, fitted wardrobes, multiple TV and telephone points and open-plan family living areas. |
|
Many house hunters simply love the idea of moving into a home that no-one else has lived in, where everything is brand new and that they can then decorate to their own taste.
|
Improved regulations mean that new-build homes are generally much safer and more secure than older homes, through the use of fire-retardant materials, smoke alarms, door and window locks and security lighting |
