New Homes Week 2024

We are thrilled to be celebrating New Homes Week 2024, shining a spotlight on the remarkable advantages of new build homes.

From energy efficiency to seamless buying processes, from peace of mind to value for money, new build homes are truly setting a new standard in modern living. In 2024, with population growth combined with the rising living costs, these advantages become all the more significant, presenting a beacon of affordability and sustainability for first-time buyers, second steppers, and downsizers alike.

Mason Burrell, New Homes Manager and Associate Partner, speaks with Ben Carver, Developer at Branksome Homes, about the benefits of purchasing a new build house in 2024.

Embracing Energy Efficiency

The environmental consciousness of today's society has brought energy efficiency to the forefront of homebuyers' priorities. New build homes boast cutting-edge technologies and sustainable designs that minimise energy consumption, reduce utility bills, and lower carbon footprints. From energy-efficient appliances to superior insulation, these homes not only offer comfort and convenience but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.

New regulations mean homes constructed from 2023 onwards must feature more sustainability features as standard, including energy and water efficient fixtures and fittings, and electric charging points.

"On average, with our new builds, you're looking at a saving in excess of £2,000. They are far more efficient and the quality shows - not only within the build, but the cost savings year on year."
Ben Carver, Branksome Homes

Simplicity in the Buying Process

Navigating the complexities of the property market can be daunting, especially for first-time buyers. However, new build homes offer a refreshing simplicity in the buying process. With fewer chains and complications compared to existing properties, purchasing a new build home is often smoother and more straightforward. This streamlined experience allows buyers to focus on the excitement of homeownership without the stress of lengthy negotiations or unexpected surprises.

At Brown&Co, we confidently guide our clients through every step of the journey, from initial enquiries to the final contract signing, and this is demonstrated through our 4.8/5 Feefo rating. 

"The process is so much easier. With a new build, there is never a long chain at the top and the property is always empty."
Mason Burrell, New Homes Manager, Brown&Co

Providing Peace of Mind

Peace of mind is priceless, particularly when it comes to one of life's most significant investments: a home. New build homes come with comprehensive warranties and guarantees, including a two-year builder guarantee and 10-year structural warranty, providing buyers with the reassurance that their investment is protected against structural defects and major appliances' malfunctions. This peace of mind cover offers a sense of security and confidence, allowing homeowners to rest easy knowing that their property is in safe hands. 

Moreover, new builds present a blank canvas, offering the chance to personalise the property to your liking without the need for renovation or costly repairs.

"All my customers from the last 10 to 15 years or more still have my number. That might be anything from colour matching, or where did we get the kitchens from, or something that hasn't quite worked out for them. You wouldn't get that with something that's been modified or restored."
Ben Carver, Branksome Homes

Value for Money

In today's challenging economic landscape, value for money is paramount. New build homes offer value by combining high-quality craftsmanship, energy and thermal efficient upgrades, and innovative designs at competitive prices. With the cost of living on the rise, these homes provide an affordable pathway to homeownership without compromising on quality or comfort. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking to step onto the property ladder or a downsizer seeking a more manageable living space, new build homes offer value for money.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, a growing family, or an empty nester, we are here to help you find the perfect new build home and embark on the next chapter of your journey. Contact us today to learn more about our comprehensive services and discover the endless possibilities that await you.
