Whether you’re looking for your first home or your forever home, new builds offer something for every homebuyer. Navigating the vast property field can be challenging, with numerous options available. Let us narrow it down for you!
So, why buy a new build home? New builds offer something no other home type does – the chance to live somewhere that has only ever been yours! Truly make your house your home by being the first owners.
And that’s only the start. We could provide you with countless reasons to choose a new build, but for now, let’s begin with the following 6 benefits of new build homes:
As new builds are often part of a large development, developers typically want the homes sold quickly and efficiently. This is great news for potential buyers, as often, there are attractive incentives thrown in to convince you to buy. These can include:
Cashbacks of up to several thousand pounds can be available to aid with moving costs. These cash incentives can be up to 5% of the purchase price and are paid directly to your solicitor upon completion.
Some developers offer discounts on any additional costs of the home, such as legal fees.
Soft furnishings packages, along with appliance or flooring upgrades, can also be included in your sale.
Whether it’s already a reality or somewhere in your future, ensuring your home is a safe space for children to grow is something new build homes can provide. Often, large developments are built with a village-like feel, creating a real sense of community.
Similarly, with their attractive offers and great locations, new build homes mainly attract young families. Children can learn and play safely with neighbours their age, making new build homes perfect for you and your family.
Another great thing new build developers offer is improved warranty deals. Usually, a new build warranty lasts for up to ten years and is typically split into two periods:
In this period, all costs necessary from builders’ defects are normally covered, such as window leaks or floorboard gaps. The defects insurance period is usually the first one to two years that you are in your new home.
After those first two years, only major structural issues are covered by the warranty. These issues could include the external rendering on the property or roof problems.

Ongoing Chain: The situation where each home purchase is reliant on the sale of another.
The main benefit of new build homes is that the sale is much easier and much more likely to go through. Because the home is brand new, there has been no previous owner who could potentially pull out, due to their own new home purchase falling through. This, therefore, ensures a reliable sale.
If you are also a first-time buyer, this further prevents an ongoing chain in the sale. If you’re finding buying your first home daunting and overwhelming, read Plumlife’s helpful blog on common mistakes to avoid, here!
A Fresh StartNot only are new build homes brand new, but quite often you’re also able to add customisations to truly make the house your home! Options such as choosing your wall paint colour, flooring options, and even kitchen cabinet colour, can all be selected for a lower price than if you were to change these after purchase.
New build homes often have a very modern and clean design, providing you and your family with a clean canvas to personalise, or to keep simple and minimalistic.
The Future of LivingAs new homes are being built all of the time, and home building rules and regulations are constantly developing, you can guarantee that your new home will be up to date with all modern standards:
New build homes are built to last, making them perfect forever homes for you and your family.
New build homes offer a plethora of advantages to you and your family, from visual to monetary benefits. Combining safety and style – make the smart, future-ready choice.
