Reasons to buy a new home…
Working in partnership with new home builders across the UK, Quick Move Properties has seen constant improvements in design quality and efficiency of new builds and thought we would share a few of the benefits of new home ownership with you.
New home builders often build in generous margins to discount properties for the right buyer. These can be anything from nationwide marketing campaigns to one-off bargains and this is a luxury that you won’t find from a private seller. The most valuable buyers are those who can complete quickly, and if this is your situation, let the builder know and you will most likely be able to secure a discount!
2) Mortgages
The Government is running the NewBuy scheme in conjunction with most of the major housebuilders at present – enabling first time buyers to obtain a guaranteed 95% mortgage on a new build home. This is a lifeline for people who may not be able to get on the housing ladder otherwise.3) Energy efficiency
The design of new homes ensures that they are as energy efficient as possible, thus saving you lots on the bills you’d be paying in an older property. An added benefit is you know you are doing your bit for the environment!4) No upward chain
As you don’t need to worry about a buyer vacating your new property, you know it is ready for you as soon as you’d like to move in!5) Easy to part exchange
If you have found your dream new home and can’t sell your existing property, the majority of new home builders will be able to take it off your hands, meaning you don’t have the hassle of trying to sell it in a difficult market.6) Blank canvas
ot only is your house pristinely clean when you move into it, you can also have a hand in designing it! Most builders allow you to choose the fixtures and fittings you’d like, and if you get involved earlier, you may also be allowed to choose your room layout.7) Safety and security
New homes are built to the highest safety and security specifications. Adherence to the latest standards for structure, ventilation, insulation, electrical and fire safety means you can sleep easy and most new builds now come complete with sturdy windows and doors and burglar alarms. 8) Community
Developments tend to place community right at the centre of their planning and those moving in get a ready-made group of friends just waiting to meet them. Young families with children benefit particularly from the social aspect of this, as well as the older generation, to whom it offers security and a helping hand. New home communities often include schools, playgrounds and shops – who could need more!We hope you found this useful – in our opinion, the quality of new homes is improving all the time and they are definitely worth consideration when deciding on your next move!
