The Benefits of Buying A New Home
In today’s property market, buying a newly built home often has specific attractions to certain types of buyers who aren’t as interested in buying an older home, which is why we thought it would be useful to outline some of the benefits of buying a new in today’s blog.
Both the Government and property developers are always looking to build new homes, and with the objective of one million more new homes by 2020, (read more about that article here) it’s more than likely that we will all see a rise in the number of new developments popping up around the region.
Whilst a new home isn’t right for everyone, there are certain benefits of buying that do appeal to buyers, these include:
1. Energy Efficiency
Increased insulation in new homes with double-glazing as standard ensures a better energy-rating from the start, and helps to reduce energy bills considerably more than what can often by achieved by older properties. This gives you an advantage that you can reap rewards from instantly, and helps to keep regular utility bills at a lower level than what would normally be expected from older properties.
2. A Blank Canvas
With the ability to choose everything from the carpet colours to the kitchen worktops, you can personalise a new home before you move in so that it truly feels like your own from the second you get your keys.
3. Great Deals
Housing developers are always in the know of how to best sell their new homes through offering great deals and incentives such as pre-paid stamp duty, cash back, landscaping, and plenty more.
4. Safety and Security Developers
always include security measures as standard, which don’t always come with older properties. The addition of smoke alarms, fire doors, security locks, burglar alarms, and security lighting as well as more natural ventilation systems for health benefits, ensures you get peace of mind as well as an extra security blanket as soon as you move in.
5. 10-Year Warranty
Most new-build homes come with a 10-year warranty from companies like Zurich Municipal and NHBC, giving you an extra feeling of security and knowing that you can enjoy your home care free from the day you move in!
