Why buy a brand new house?

One of the real appeal of new build properties is one that could be compared to buying a new car, no need to worry about repairs. New Build properties generally will come with a 10 year warranty which gives you peace of mind. It also means that unlike older style properties you are likely to spend less maintaining the property.

Another benefit is generally you can pick important finishes to the property, like kitchen and bathrooms, the colour of the carpet or maybe if you're going to have turf or decking, all very exciting personal touches for the day you move in.

Buying a new build is an exciting process, so please remember we are here to make the process as enjoyable as possible for you!

We're here to help - Avoid common mistakes!

It's likely that if you're buying a new build property (or considering it) that you haven't gone through the process before. It can be a fast moving and daunting experience if you don't have someone on hand to support you through the process. Have no fear, our new homes mortgage consultants are here to help you every step of the way, below are some of the common mistakes people make:

Missing the Exchange Deadline - New Build Properties generally have a 28 day window to exchange, this is normally pretty strict and so generally speaking once you've reserved you have no time to waste. We have a specialist team who just deal with New Build, so we can ensure you're ready to go when you need to be.
Help to Buy - If you're purchasing with Help to Buy you need to complete a variety of forms and get approval from the Help to Buy Agent to proceed with the mortgage. If you make a mistake on the forms, generally this will set you back a week or so. We will complete all these forms for you.
Make sure you don't apply too early! - It might sound silly, but some mortgage offers are only valid for 90 days, so if you are buying off plan we will ensure you either apply at the right time or go with a lender who has a longer offer period. This will save you apply twice and paying fee's more than once.

Is New Build property right for you?

There are a number of important things to consider when deciding if a new build home is right for you. Just because a home is new, it does not mean it will be completely free from defects which may lead to negotiations with your builder.

Depending on the stage of the development, you may spend the first few months or even years in your home on a building site.

You may need a slightly higher deposit for a new build property and timing your mortgage with your home completion can get complicated.
