5 Reasons To Buy A New-Build Home This Spring

Regional housebuilder Homes by Carlton is on the expansion trail after enjoying its most successful year since returning to the market.

1. Complete Peace of Mind

At Homes by Carlton, you can have peace of mind that your new home has been built to the highest possible standard. Protected by a 10-year NHBC structural warranty alongside a 2-year Homes by Carlton warranty, we want you to rest assured that if anything was to go wrong with your home, we've got you covered.

2. Save on Energy Bills

Research suggests that new build homes can save buyers up to £629 a year in energy bills, often being built to be considerably more energy efficient than older properties. New builds generally come with a premier A or B rating for energy efficiency along with high-quality insulation to minimise heat loss.

3. Chain-Free

One of the most stressful parts of moving house can often be getting caught in a chain, where everything can seem out of your control. With new builds though, as you’ll be the first owner, naturally you won’t have to rely on chain of buyers above you, instantly reducing much of the uncertainty often associated with moving house.

4. Designed Your Way

New build homes often have the benefit of being a blank canvas. With Homes by Carlton, for example, If you choose your home at an early stage of the housebuilding process, you'll be able to help select the perfect kitchens and bathrooms to suit your style, not to mention not having the burden of removing and replacing old, unwanted furniture.

5. Less Weekends Spent Doing DIY

New homes are built to the latest specifications, and major repairs should not be necessary for the first few years. So forget all of those wasted weekends labouring over repairs, maintenance and renovation. At Homes by Carlton, if you find any snags, we’ll take care of them so you don’t have to.

Ready to find your new home? We have a number of luxury developments with over 30 house types to choose from – we're sure to have the new-build that is perfect for you.
