The Eight Best Advantages Of Buying A New Build Home
If you’re looking for your first or next home, the good news is that more and more new homes are being built every year. Thousands of new homes are being built all the time to meet demand, which is great if you’re looking for a new-build property to move into. This means that more buyers are finding brand new properties when they’re house-hunting. There are lots of advantages to buying a new home straight from the developer, and buying a new build can be well worth it.

1. Unpack and go.
A new home from a developer like Rockford Homes is a blank canvas. It has new tiling, fresh paintwork, and a new kitchen and bathroom. This means that there shouldn’t be very much, if anything at all, that you need to do it before you move in. You can just unpack your belongings and start living in your new home, with no rush to decorate or renovate to make the place livable.
2. Get a boost to buying.
For a lot of first-time buyers, there are schemes available to help them get onto the property ladder, but these schemes often only apply to new-build properties. Do some research and see what help you might qualify for if you’re buying your first home.
3. Incentives.
A lot of developers like Garman Builders offer all kinds of extra incentives like $70,000 off quick move-in homes to try and secure a sale. Other incentives could mean that a developer will cover the cost of things like your carpets, saving you a good chunk of money on your new home.
4. Modern living.
New builds, especially more top-spec ones, should have a lot of the latest technology. Higher-end homes often offer smart home features, and most new builds have open-plan layouts, which are perfect for family living. If you buy on a larger development site, you might also get access to some shared facilities such as a concierge, security, or a gym.
5. Design your home.
When you buy your new home off-plan, you should be able to have some say in the final design of the property. Your builder may allow you to make some choices on the layout, or to choose fixtures and fittings, like cabinets, tiles, and carpets.
6. Lower bills.
New build properties need to comply with all the latest building regulations. This means that these homes are more energy-efficient than older properties. This is better for the planet and can help to keep your bills lower too, as it will be cheaper and easier to keep your home warm or cool, and well-lit. You might also be able to get a better mortgage, with incentives for a greener home.
7. Chain-free.
As you will be the first owner of your home, there won’t be a chain of buyers above you, so there’s less potential for delays. This removes one of the main stresses of buying a home.
8. Warranties.
All new builds will come with a warranty, which you don’t get when you buy an existing home. Your warranty might not cover everything that you expect, so make sure you read the fine print carefully.
