Even with the state of the economy as it is, people still need to move house and despite the apparent slow down in the housing market, houses are still being bought and sold every day. Of those who indulge in a house move, people who choose to move into new homes will be getting the better financial deal, according to the New Homes Marketing Board.

Lower prices

The slow down in the housing market over the past two years has resulted in many housebuilders lowering their prices to try and encourage buyers to make the move to new homes, which is favouring those who are in a position to buy. As well as lower price, most new homes providers offer a range of incentives and buying schemes to make it easier for buyers to finance their homes. Many have outstanding offers for new buyers, particularly in respect to financing the larger deposits needed these days, and others offer schemes for movers to help them secure their new homes and sell their old one.

New homes month

Taking place throughout September, New Homes Month aims to highlight the advantages to buying new to many prospective buyers. The national ...
... event will see millions of new homes open their doors to buyers across the country, giving people the chance to see for themselves the quality of the finish and all the modern conveniences that new homes are packed with. As well as being completely maintenance free, brand new homes are highly efficient, having to comply with stricter building regulations and safety standards. This can mean a new home will save the householder over £500 per year on energy bills in comparison with an older home of the same size.

Personalised construction

Buyers who engage with the developer at an early stage will be able to add their own touch to the house. Many developers have a range of options available, from the arrangement in the kitchen to the tiles in the bathroom, the colours of the carpets to the location of the plug sockets. With small touches like this, buyers can enjoy walking into a home which is completely theirs from the word go.
