Top benefits of buying a new build home
Posted on July 28th, 2023Are you in the market for a new home? If so, have you considered buying a new build? From customisation options to energy efficiency, a new build home can offer a range of benefits that an older home simply can’t match. So, whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a family looking to upgrade your current living situation, let’s dive in and discover the benefits of buying a new build for your next home.
No forward chain
When you purchase a pre-owned home, you often have to deal with a forward chain, which can make the buying process much more difficult. The good news is, that with a new build home, there is no forward chain, you simply purchase your home and move in when it’s ready, without having to worry about coordinating with other buyers or sellers. It’s as simple as that!
Energy saving
One of the major benefits of choosing a new-build home is its energy efficiency. A report by the HBF indicates that new homes are an average of £183 a month cheaper to run than older properties, saving up to £2,200 annually. This saving of 64% is a result of new homes requiring half the energy use and emitting 60% less carbon. New builds are constructed with the latest materials and appliances making them much more efficient than older homes. In fact, new homes are up to 60% more energy efficient on average than older houses. So, not only will you be helping the planet, but you’ll also see significant cost savings on your utility bills too.
Energy Performance Certificates highlight the difference in energy-efficiency standards and costs, as 85% of new homes have an A or B energy-efficiency rating, consistently achieving high energy performance levels, compared to just 4% of existing properties that have been rated to the same standard.
Customisation options
Another advantage of buying a new home is that they often come with the option to customise certain rooms according to your preferences. So, depending on the progress of the build, you may be able to choose specific colours, units or other finishes for your kitchen and bathrooms to match your taste.
A fuss-free move
For the majority of people, making the decision to move and house hunting can be a fairly time-consuming process. And then there is the interior to think about. With a new-build home, your walls, windows, doors, bathrooms and kitchen will be ready and waiting for you! And upon completion, you can expect a fuss-free move. New builds are constructed to high specifications with all the latest appliances, so you don’t need to worry about making any repairs or essential installations before moving in. It’ll all be done for you!
10-year warranty
Purchasing a home is a big financial investment and if things in your home go wrong, the costs can soon stack up.
