Why buy new?

Why buy new?

Lee Mann, Director of Bond Residentials’ Land & New Homes Department says “We are currently inundated with queries from potential home buyers about new homes and their benefits”. He added - Older properties have a charm of their own, but for many people the allure of a new house is strong for the following reasons:

  • SECURITY

New homes are safer and more secure than older homes. Fire safety is helped by the use of smoke alarms, fire doors, and fire retardant materials. New homes often include security locks, burglar alarms and security lighting as standard

  • LIFESTYLE

New Homes require little or no maintenance in comparison to an older property as they are built to the latest building specification leaving your evenings and weekends free to enjoy time together with your family.

  • DESIGN

The design and layouts of new homes are geared around current living trends and offer more than one bathroom with an en-suite and a ground floor cloakroom.

  • CHOICE

Depending on the stage of construction most developers offer purchasers their own choices of kitchen units, bathroom suites and tiles, as well as some flooring, so that it reflects your own tastes as soon as you move in

  • ENERGY EFFICIENT

New homes offer the latest technology in double glazing, insulation and central heating so fuel bills tend to be lower as there is no wasted energy

  • INCENTIVES & ASSISTANCE

Developers know how to sell new homes and will provide great offers to potential homebuyers. There are also a number of schemes available to assist you with the purchase of a new home, such as Help to Buy where you can purchase with as little as 5% deposit. This scheme is widely available and is not just for first time buyers. So feel free to contact us to see if you could be eligible.

Another benefit is that because sites are developed and occupied within a couple of years, neighbours tend to be friendly as they move in around the same time as one another, and all have at least one thing in common to talk about – a move into a new home!’
