Enjoy many advantages when you buy a new-build home

THERE are so many advantages to be had when you buy a new-build home. Here are just a few of them.

IF you’re looking for a home to call your own, opt for a new-build and you can’t go wrong.

Offering all you could want and more, there are plenty of advantages to be had when you decide to buy a brand-new home.

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of a new-build has to be the design itself. Fresh, modern and completely untouched, the layout of a new-build home is made for 21st century living.

It’s not unusual for features such as open-plan kitchens, walk-in wardrobes and en suites to be standard elements in a new-build property.

Unlike an older home, there’s just no need to convert your property to accommodate your style of living.

Many builders will even let you play a part in the design process. You can choose the design of your kitchen, the tiles for your bathrooms and, in some cases, even change the layout of rooms.

Adding finishing touches before you even get the keys is another fantastic benefit of buying a new-build home.

When you buy new, it’s easy to have an active say in how your home looks before you move in – something that’s simply impossible in the second-hand market.

There are plenty of developers who will let you gain access to your property to fit carpets, curtains and blinds in preparation for your big move. Some will even make them part of the deal, saving you time as well as money.

If you have no time or inclination for DIY, a modern home will suit you down to the ground.

With everything already taken care of, knowing that you don’t have to lift a finger is a great feeling.

The most you will probably ever have to think about is fitting new shelves or hanging pictures.

For those with an older home, life isn’t so easy. Whether it’s upgrading bathrooms or painting and
decorating hallways, there’s always something that needs doing.

With a new-build, there’s just no need to worry about those niggly jobs around the home.

Buying new can also be an eco-friendly move. Being fitted with all the latest design innovations, a new-build home isn’t so taxing on the environment as an older property.

Features such as cavity wall insulation and double or even triple glazed windows all help to make a new-build home super efficient.

With gas and electricity bills constantly on the up, it makes sense to invest in a home that conserves as much energy as possible.

Compared with any other type of home, a new-build home is simply a lot more economical to run – leaving you with more money to spend on the nicer things in life.

Finally, one of the biggest benefits of buying a new home is that it’s not as expensive as a lot of people think.

Most builders run deals such as part-exchange, which are designed to dramatically cut the costs of moving to a new home. Deals like the Government-backed Help to Buy (Scotland) and MI New Home have also made new homes much more affordable.

Whether you are looking to buy your first home or simply move up the property ladder, these schemes have opened up the market and made owning a new house or flat much more achievable.

Opting for a new-build is a smart move if you’re looking for an
affordable, quality home without any of the added stress.

With plenty of great developments to pick from, it’s also easy to find a home that suits your every need.

By choosing a new-build property, you can rest assured – knowing that everything you need has already been taken care of.
