Why Buy New? Finding Your Next Home

If you are considering purchasing a home in the UK, one of the most important decisions you’ll face is whether to opt for a new build house or a second-hand property. While older homes often come with history and charm, there are countless reasons why buying a new build home could be the best choice for you and your family.

From lower running costs to a stress-free move, here are some of the most compelling reasons why including new homes for sale in the UK in your property search might be your best move.

Modern and Customisable Designs

When you purchase new build houses, everything is fresh, untouched and designed for modern living. Unlike older properties, a new home offers a blank canvas which is ready for you to personalise with your own style. Many builders, like Jones Homes, provide options for upgrades and extras, allowing you to make the home uniquely yours before you even move in. Why deal with the cost of removing somebody else’s style and taste, before you add your own. In a report by the Home Builders Federation, it was noted that homebuyers could expect to fork out more than £70,000 upgrading an average property to new build standards

With a new build home you have the opportunity to choose many items such as kitchens, worktops, tiles, flooring and wall paint colour dependent on the stage of build you purchase at. Reserving at an early stage or off-plan ensures you can be a part of shaping your home’s look and feel.

Energy Efficient for Lower Bills

Energy efficiency is one of the standout advantages of new homes for sale and is an important part of Jones Homes design and build of new homes. Modern homes are built with the latest energy-saving technologies, from high-performance insulation to double glazing. This not only means that your home is kinder to the environment, but it also significantly reduces your energy bills – a benefit that older homes may struggle to offer. If you’re looking for a more sustainable, cost-effective lifestyle, a new build home is the way forward.

Warranties and Peace of Mind

One of the major perks of buying new is the comprehensive warranties that come with the home. Jones Homes offers a 10-year protection warranty, which covers major structural defects. This added peace of mind means you won’t have to worry about costly repairs, which can often be a concern when purchasing an older property. As well as this, Jones’ new build homes are fitted with integrated appliances, all of which are new and covered with individual warranties. Additionally, Jones Homes offer a 2-year Jones Homes warranty to help with any teething issues after you’ve moved in.

Jones Homes will cover your first two years of home ownership after which the NHBC Buildmark warranty will provide extensive coverage against major structural defects and weather-proofing failures for further eight years. This gives you absolute peace of mind and protection against any unforeseen issues that may arise.

A Stress-Free Purchase

Buying a second-hand home often involves dealing with a long and complicated property chain, which can lead to delays, uncertainties and the risk of the deal falling through. However, when purchasing a new home for sale from Jones Homes, there is no onward chain, making the process much smoother and faster. With the help of our expert dedicated Sales Advisors, you can enjoy a straightforward buying experience, from reservation to completion, without the headaches of chain complications.

High Specification Guaranteed

Unlike many older homes, which might require upgrades or renovations, new build houses come with high-quality fittings and appliances as standard. This can include modern kitchens with integrated appliances, energy-efficient lighting and even smart home technology like wireless alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

Low Maintenance Costs

A brand new home, naturally, requires far less maintenance than an older property. Older homes can hide a multitude of issues, many of which may not be evident until you’re settling in. From outdated wiring to hidden damp patches, all of these could cost you thousands of pounds in repairs. A new build home, on the other hand, is designed to be low-maintenance, allowing you to focus on enjoying your home rather than worrying about costly fixes.

A Greener Way of Living

New homes, such as those built by Jones Homes, are designed to be eco-friendly, with features that help reduce your carbon footprint. From efficient heating systems to sustainable building materials, a new build home is ideally suited to a greener, more energy-conscious lifestyle. If you’re keen to live in a home that’s better for both you and the planet, a new home for sale is an ideal option.

Jones Homes already has one eye on the future sustainability of new developments, with a number now featuring air source heat pumps. This will be a UK Government requirement, replacing all gas boilers on homes built from 2025 onwards as part of the 2025 Future Homes Standard,. The aim of this is to ensure that new homes built from 2025 produce 75-80% less carbon emissions than homes built under the current Building Regulations, contributing to reducing the UK’s carbon emissions and achieving its net zero target by 2050.

Support From Day One

When you buy a new build home, you’re not just purchasing a property, you’re buying into a community and Jones Homes provides dedicated customer care teams to assist you. From helping you choose your finishing touches to making sure everything runs smoothly during your move, having professional support from the team can take a lot of the stress out of the process. Jones Homes’ expert Sales Advisors will support you throughout the buying process, with the Customer Care team on hand for the duration of your two-year warranty.

New build homes offer a range of benefits, from energy efficiency to modern design and stress-free purchasing. If you’re in the market for a new home, consider the advantages of buying new and start enjoying your dream property from the very beginning.
