As developers of distinctly modern homes, we believe there are many benefits to buying a new build home.
Of course, old homes still hold beauty in their history, but there’s nothing quite like a brand-new home. So, if you’re undecided on your next home, we’ve shared our reasons why you should consider buying new.
Unpack and go
One major benefit is that new builds provide a clean slate. They’re a blank canvas with fresh fittings and features. As a result, creating your dream home is a much easier task!
Save money on bills
Modern building regulations mean new builds are held to a higher standard of air tightness and insulation than ever before. This means these homes are much more energy efficient in the long term – and cheaper!
Recent research found that buyers of a new build house will save on average around £2,600 a year in energy bills. Not only helping your wallet but also reducing your carbon footprint, simply by being at home.
Modern living
New builds are much more likely to come kitted out with the latest smart tech. Smart features such as automated lighting and heating, smart security, and AI-controlled entertainment systems are integrated into many Altin builds. Hilltop, Fairfield and our latest development, Waterbank, are all kitted out by Hestia Smart Living. Hilltop in Hale was fitted with a bespoke system when it was built, complete with controls specified for the home’s swimming pool and jacuzzi.
No chain
Anyone who has bought a home knows the level of uncertainty that comes with having a chain. A change in circumstances or a bad survey can all lead to a chain falling through and changing plans with no notice.
However, buying a new build home means you’re essentially buying from the developer, which reduces the chance of cancellation. It also removes issues that may arise from surveys.
Have we convinced you a new build home is the way to go? If so, head over to our portfolio to look at Waterbank – our current development which is due to complete this year and stay tuned on LinkedIn and Instagram for details on how and where to buy a Waterbank home… coming soon.
