If you’re in the market for a new home, you may be wondering whether to buy an older, traditional property, or invest in a new build.
Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, but in this article, we will highlight the top eight reasons to consider buying a new build.
Flexible Layout and Ample Space
New builds are often designed with open-plan living in mind, which means flexible layouts and plenty of space. At Remmus Designer Homes, we focus on creating living, dining, and reception areas that reflect openness, flow, and flexible living spaces.
Peace of Mind with a 10-Year Warranty
Most new builds come with a warranty, which you don’t get with an existing home. At Remmus Designer Homes, all our homes are designed and constructed to the highest standards, and we offer a 10-year structural defect warranty through Global Home Warranties, ensuring total peace of mind long after completion.
Chain-Free
Buying a home that’s already being lived in means going through a chain of buyers, which can be stressful and time-consuming. With new builds, you’ll be the first owner, which means you won’t have to go through a chain of buyers and can skip this stage of stress altogether.
Modern Amenities
New build homes are designed with modern lifestyles in mind, and they offer a range of amenities that older properties may not have. This includes features such as high-speed internet, smart home technology, and energy-efficient appliances. Additionally, many new builds come with communal facilities such as gyms, swimming pools, and landscaped gardens, providing you with a luxurious living experience.
Immaculate Interiors
One of the best things about a new build is that you’ll be the first person to live in it. Your home will be a blank canvas, freshly built and painted, allowing you to put your own stamp on the home decor and design.
Energy-Efficient Features
New builds comply with the latest building regulations, which means they are designed to be far more energy-efficient than older properties. At Remmus Designer Homes, we install energy-efficient downlights, high-security, energy-efficient double-glazed uPVC windows, and LPG gas-fired boilers, all aimed at reducing utility bills and your carbon footprint.
Help to Buy Scheme
The government-backed scheme Help to Buy offers the opportunity for buyers to secure their new home with just a 5% deposit, making it a great option if you’re saving to buy your first home.
Greater Security
New build homes are built to the latest safety standards and come with modern security features such as burglar alarms and secure entry systems. Additionally, many new builds are located in gated communities or developments, providing added security and peace of mind for residents.
Ultimately, the decision to buy a new build or an existing home is a personal one. However, these benefits highlight why buying a new build might be the right choice for you.
