The decision to buy an older home or a new build is a difficult one that most home buyers will face, however, it isn’t as difficult as you first may think. Whilst some people prefer the charm of a historic personality when it comes to house hunting, others look towards a brand spanking new home and the large variety of benefits that has on offer.
New build homes are within their structural warranty, more energy efficient, and are a blank canvas when it comes to considering how to decorate, as well as many other benefits.
-
Customisation: One of the biggest advantages of buying a new build home is the ability to customise it to your liking. You can choose the layout, finishes, and features that best fit your lifestyle.
-
Energy efficiency: new build homes are designed to be more energy efficient than older homes. They are often built with modern insulation, double or triple glazed windows, and energy-efficient appliances, which can result in lower utility bills.
-
Low maintenance: new homes are built with modern materials that require less maintenance than older homes. They often come with warranties that cover defects or repairs for a certain period of time.
-
Safety features: new build homes often come with safety features such as smoke detectors, fire-resistant materials, and modern security systems.
-
Modern design: new build homes often feature modern designs and open floor plans, which are popular with many buyers.
-
Community amenities: new build homes are often part of larger developments that come with amenities such as parks and fitness centres.
-
No chain: When buying a new build home, there is no chain involved, which means you won't have to wait for someone else to sell their home before you can move in. This can make the buying process quicker and less stressful.
- Neighbours: Typically, when moving into a new build estate you will be surrounded by people are like-minded to you and perhaps may have things in common with you, such as children the same age. This isn’t always the case when moving into an older property where the occupants may have lived there for a while.
Overall, buying a new build home can offer many benefits that older homes may not have. If you are interested in purchasing a new build property contact Bradley Hall today via gosforth@bradleyhall.co.uk or 0191 284 2255
