A WEEK LONG CELEBRATION OF NEW BUILDS
New Homes Week

Meet the builders
What is New Homes Week?
New Homes Week is an annual celebration of new build homes.
The campaign is delivered by the Home Builders Federation to provide a positive platform for the home building industry, new build homeowners and potential home buyers to celebrate the benefits of new build homes.
New Homes Week 2024
The theme for New Homes Week 2024 is ‘Tomorrow awaits: Make it yours’.
Our aim is to build a stronger emotional connection with our audience by focusing on the lifestyle advantages of a new build home.
The awareness week will inform audiences of the advantages of new build homes, highlighting the increasing energy efficiency, relative simplicity of the buying process, peace of mind cover and value for money new build homes offer first time buyers, second steppers and downsizers.
Our activity will focus on authentic voices. We will use real experiences and relatable content to tell the story of new build homeownership, creating opportunities for user generated content and amplification.

New build homeowner stories
Couple quit costly home renovations for low-maintenance new build home
With a history of house renovation Caroline and John always had a project on the go. However, after 50-year-old John suffered a heart attack, the couple reassessed their plans and the prospect of tackling a long list of costly tasks seemed less desirable. Instead, the pair opted for the peace-of-mind of a low-maintenance new build at Kingswood Homes’ The Hawthorns development in the village of Elswick so they could get on with living.
