When buying your new home, you want peace of mind. Persimmon Homes provides the top five advantages to buying a new build home.
- Green Living: We all want to do our bit for the environment. New homes provide you with peace of mind as they are more efficient – for buyers this means new energy efficient heating systems, first-rate loft insulation and draft free double-glazed windows and doors!
- Great Incentives: Schemes including the government-backed Help to Buy, Part Exchange and Home Change are readily available on new homes. Developers often offer incentives to entice buyers including free carpets, help towards stamp duty and a contribution to legal fees, taking away some of the stress of buying your new home.
- Security: When living in your new home you can rest assured that a new build is far safer and more secure than older buildings as many new homes include security locks, burglar alarms and security lighting. Fire safety includes the installation of smoke alarms, fire doors and fire-retardant materials.
- Warranty: A new-build property comes complete with a 10-year insurance backed warranty from either the NHBC or LABC. Peace of mind that you’ll not be hit with any unexpected costly repair bills.
- More time, money and freedom: There is no DIY, maintenance or repairs to do at weekends, leaving buyers with the freedom and extra cash to enjoy their spare time – so relax!
