Read GuideFrequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of a new build?
New builds are significantly more energy-efficient (often EPC A or B), come with a 10-year warranty, have no upward chain, and offer a 'blank canvas' for decoration.
What is a snagging survey?
A snagging survey is an independent inspection of a new build property to identify minor defects or unfinished work that the developer needs to fix before or shortly after you move in.
Can I customize a new build home?
If you buy 'off-plan' (before construction is finished), developers often allow you to choose fixtures, fittings, and finishes such as kitchen units and flooring.
