New Homes | Why buy new?

Buying new homes in Wakefield has many major advantages in comparison to buying an older property.

In a new property development, there are often a variety of different styles of architecture on offer as well as plenty of housing types to choose from, such as apartments, town houses and detached family homes. Size is never an issue either, as many developments offer anything from a one-bedroom apartment, three-bedroom semi-detached, up to eight Bedroom luxury detached home. There is usually a property to suit everyone.

The choice doesn’t stop with the actual type of home you opt for, the developer can often offer you different choices of finishing, giving you the opportunity to select that kitchen you have always dreamed of, your choice of tiles to finish off your luxury bathroom and you may even have the option to decide how your garden will be landscaped.

Newly Built Homes

There are many advantages to buying a newly built property over a second-hand home. The most obvious benefit is that everything from the roof, to the windows, the décor, to the brickwork is brand new and unlived in.

It doesn’t stop there; everything inside your new home is new too, with some developments even having the option to include new appliances with your new kitchen, a new bathroom suite and enclosed shower. The possibilities are endless.

With new homes, there is no need for major DIY jobs, which are often needed in an older property to bring it up to a similar standard. And what’s more, most new homes are covered by the NHBC or similar warranty for reassurance, meaning that you will be covered for anything up to 10 years.

New Homes | Should Cost You Less Money

Did you know that the heating and insulation of new homes is up to four times more energy efficient than many older properties? Not only is a new build more energy efficient, they are much greener for the environment, according to the Home Builder Federation. This is because a new property produces far less carbon dioxide compared to an older property.

All new homes are required to meet certain insulation standards, meaning that new homes are now built so that they are not only energy efficient, but they also have the advantage of decent sound insulations, with the possibility of a quieter nights sleep.

Several new homes developers offer assistance with the the upfront costs you may be faced with, such as stamp duty, valuations etc. New home developers often offer specialist packages to assist you with your purchase of your new home.

New Homes | Convenience and Ease

Another beauty of new homes is the convenience of not having to worry about an upward chain and you are often able to move in as soon as it’s built, which avoids any hidden surprises you may get from an older property.

There is often only a small or no charge for redecorating new homes, which in an older home can often be quite costly and upfront, especially if you choose to add your own personal touch once you move in.

Property developers take great care in the designing of their new homes and consider the practicalities of modern living and often choose to make rooms available for flexible living options, so that the property can suit the way that you live.

Some developers even consider part-exchanging properties, against their new homes; the opportunities available to you are endless.

History

In the 18th Century, Wakefield was a major hub of the coal, agriculture and textile trades because of its central location and inland Port on the Calder River, but has now gone on to become a significant modern manufacturing and distribution hub for a wide range of industries.

Wakefield

In all, the Wakefield District covers an area of about 130 square miles and more than 330,000 people choose to make it their home. Some of the major towns and communities of Wakefield District include Stanley, Normanton, Ossett and Horbury in the north west and Hemsworth and South Elmsall in the south. The most beautiful rural communities include Crofton, Ackworth and Woolley and their popularity as ideal residential areas is growing immensely as many people choose to live outside the larger cities. The rolling hills are typical of the English countryside and hold great attraction for many. Gradually many of the old coal mining sites are also being reclaimed and made available for recreational and residential use.
