New Homes

• Highly likely to be covered by a 10-year NHBC warranty (or similar) offering protection against builder defects and structural problems.

​

• Under a 2-year customer care warranty by the developer

​

• Lower service charges in the short to medium term since all amenities are brand new and in excellent condition, with few repairs likely to be necessary.

​

• Generally considered hassle-free and come move-in-ready, allowing homeowners to settle in quicker without having to make improvements or undertake repairs. All equipment and appliances will be new and under manufacture warranty.

​

• New builds tend to be energy efficient as a result of increasingly rigorous housebuilding standards including modern building techniques, the materials used in their construction and the appliances installed such as double glazing, excellent insulation and the use of large areas of glazing to maximise natural light.

​

• New-build schemes also tend to come with excellent security measures, such as video entry phones, CCTV and sometimes a concierge. Secure parking is also a feature of many developments.

​

• New-build homes tend to appreciate in value slightly faster than older homes.
