Home ownership is an ambition of many people across the UK and more and more buyers are now choosing a new-build home to make their own.

From a choice of different layouts, to a pristine blank canvas to put your own mark on, the potential rewards of a brand-new home are well known. However, with many of us aspiring to live healthier lives, we often do not appreciate just how important the right home is in helping to maintain good mental health and wellbeing.

We’ve outlined below some of the reasons why buying a new-build home can be the right choice for you and your wellbeing.

A Stress-Free Process

When buying a new-build property you will be supported by a team of sales advisors who are on hand to help progress your sale, answer questions and ensure that the purchase of your new home is as smooth as possible.

The added benefit of having no upward chain to consider means the whole process is much less stressful and often quicker than a second-hand purchase.

Peace of Mind

All Crest Nicholson homes are independently assessed during construction and covered by a 10-year warranty. Home security and low-level maintenance are built in from the design stage and every home undergoes a stringent ‘fit for purpose’ inspection prior to occupancy.

Crest Nicholson home owners are also supported by a dedicated customer care team who aim to ensure the highest standard of service – allowing residents to focus on the important things in life.

A Relaxing Environment

While busy workloads and family pressures may leave us stressed and drained, living in a new home, with its carefully crafted interiors, can stimulate a sense of calm.

Open plan living spaces, often featured in new-build homes, provide a flexible landscape where residents are free to create their own personal space to relax. Where there are large expanses of glass, this also allows for natural light to enter the home with ease, and further add to the sense of calm.

A Sustainable Choice

In our rapidly changing world we all understand the need to make responsible decisions for the benefit of the environment. Our homes are at the centre of our lives and a sustainable home is often the beginning of a sustainable lifestyle.

The average new home is up to four times more energy efficient than a traditional second-hand home. New homes have excellent insulation and the latest energy saving appliances. This means they have lower running costs compared to traditional homes. New homes are also designed to minimise waste and to work in balance with the environment.

A Friendly Community

Moving into a brand-new home may be a daunting experience for some, but it also offers a fresh-start for new residents.  New neighbourhoods often spawn community groups, which provide a great opportunity to meet other residents, who are also getting to know their local community.

At Crest Nicholson, we strive to create a sense of community within all our developments by adding parks, play areas, and other features for the benefit of all who live there.

Trust Your Own Choices

One of the core benefits of a new home, is just that, it is brand new. This means that residents need not worry about renovations or making do with previous residents’ decisions. When moving into a brand-new home, residents can focus on making their house their own straight away.
