10 Benefits of Buying a Newly-Built Home
According to a recent house-hunter survey, the vast majority of aspiring number home-owners prefer newly-built homes to second-hand homes. We cannot say that we are too surprised by this, there is something wonderful about being your new home being a blank slate, it is the ultimate fresh start, for your family and for the property.
So what are the key benefits of buying new?
1. I think the main benefit of a modern home is that it is designed and built to suit the demands of modern life. This might include an open, or flexible living space to accommodate entertaining, together with a home office or perhaps quiet zones throughout.
2. Other features of modern homes include smart storage, larger master suites, flexible spaces and well-designed gardens that are useable and stylish extensions of the home.
3. If you are buying off-plan or purchasing prior to completion, you will usually have the opportunity to customise the home, for example, by choosing kitchen or bathroom fittings and tiling, and perhaps influencing the colour palette.
4. Of course, it goes without saying that DIY is only ever a matter of choice when you move into a new home as everything is finished to perfection.
5. As building, fire and safety standards continue to improve, newly built-homes are guaranteed to comply with current regulations, ensuring comfort and safety for your family.
6. There is a certain peace of mind that comes from knowing all your appliances, fixtures and fittings are brand new and guaranteed.
7. A follow-on benefit of this is the money and effort saved by the home not requiring much maintenance for the first few years.
8. Further savings can be expected due to the greater energy efficiencies of newly-built homes, in fact, this is something that the team at Victoria Homes take very seriously and we invest in the latest technologies so that your home will be sustainably efficient.
9. Speaking of technology, our new homes are always improving in terms of wireless and in-built smart systems, from alarms and internet to speakers and utility access.
10. One of the often-unspoken benefits of buying a new home, in a newly-built development, is that everyone is new to the community so there is a great opportunity to get to know new residents at similar or sometimes very different life stages to you and your family. In fact, as often happens, where new developments are built, generally a new neighbourhood centre emerges and residents play a huge role in this ‘place-making’.
