Guides To Buying Your New Home

Moving with Homes by Carlton

Our assisted move scheme helps to take some of the stress out of moving home. You can sit back and relax whilst we market your current home. At the same time, your chosen Homes by Carlton plot will be reserved for four weeks – with the potential to extend this should the need arise.

First-Time
Buyers

There's a lot to consider when buying your first home, from how much you'll need for a deposit, through to what's involved in applying for a mortgage. Our handy First-Time Buyer Guide covers all of this and much more, helping you get started on the journey to home ownership.

Discount Market
Scheme (DMS)

An affordable housing scheme to help you get on or move up the housing ladder, the Discount Market Scheme (DMS) discounts selected homes by between 20% and 50% – whilst still giving you full ownership – and is run as a partnership between housebuilders like us and local authorities.

Moving Home
Checklist

The lead-up to moving day is a busy one, and there's lots that you'll need and want to get done. We've created a handy checklist that covers the key things you'll want to do from four weeks before up to the day of your move.

Reserving Your
New Home

Once you've found your dream new home, the next step is to reserve it. This guide tells you everything you need to know about reserving a new-build home, such as how much you should expect to pay, what it means to reserve "off-plan" and more.
