Are you on the hunt for a new place to call home?
Well, opting for a new-build home could help you get a super-stylish, high spec house without any of the problems which may arise with a second-hand property!
Here are our top 8 reasons why now is the time to buy a new-build property.
1. Cutting out an onward chain
When youâre going through the process of buying a house, the onward chain can often be the most stressful and time-consuming aspect. If delays happen further up the chain, it can seriously impact the timescales of your purchase â or worse, cause the purchase to fall through.
Purchasing a new-build home means there is no onward chain, as the house is brand new for you! This means you no longer have to worry about the person youâre buying from and donât have to be prepared for any unexpected curveballs that might get thrown at you.
2. Everything is brand new
Buying an existing property means youâre buying all of its existing problems. From broken window fittings to leaking taps and cracked floor tiles, once youâve signed on that dotted sign you in inherit these issues! With a new build, everything inside is brand new so you donât have to worry. And if something does go wrong, that brings us onto the next pointâŚ
3. Giving you that additional peace of mind
With a Swarkestone Development new-build home, you have a 10-year warranty that covers structural defects. This includes any potential problems with the likes of your stairs, outside windows and doors, and your roof.
A Swarkestone Developments new-build property also comes with warranties on all of the new appliances included within the price tag, so you can rest easy that youâre covered in case any technical difficulties occur with likes of your fridge-freezer, oven or washing machine!
4. Getting high-quality spec designed for modern living

5. A blank canvas for you to personalise
Buying a brand-new home allows you to have something other properties donât â the opportunity to put your stamp and style on it. Youâll be the first person to ever live there, allowing you to make your home what you want it to be and build new memories.
With a choice of features from bathroom suites and kitchen cupboards, right through to flooring or finishing, it truly is a blank canvas to personalise with your interior style goals.
6. Ready to move into from day one
Whether itâs fixing a few existing problems, wanting to get all your decorating done or undertaking a full renovation, moving into a second-hand home brings potential hold-ups once youâve completed on the purchase. Thatâs where a new-build home is different. With all the hard work already done or you, you can have a hassle-free transition into your new home as soon as youâve signed on the dotted line!
7. New homes are more energy efficient
On average, new homes are 33 per cent more energy efficient than second-hand properties, so not only will your house stay warm for longer, youâll also be able to cut down on your energy bills!
8. Rent is continuing to rise
With the average rental costs outside of London currently standing at a huge ÂŁ828 per month and continuing to grow higher, now is the time to make that move onto the property ladder. Buying your own new home means youâll be paying your own mortgage, rather than your landlordâs.
