When looking for your dream home, there is a lot to consider.
Deciding whether to buy an older property or a newly built home should be an important consideration in your property search.
While older properties can have their charm, there are many reasons why a newly built home may be the better option for you.
Not a fan of DIY
Older properties are usually heavily influenced by the previous owner’s design and interior design choices, and even simple renovations require time, money and upheaval.
The beauty of stepping into a newly built home is the fresh start and blank canvas it provides. The one, two and three bedroom apartments at Higgs Yard, a development by Peabody New Homes, skip the dirty work and offer instantly modern living, without the need to don your painter’s overalls.
Not just a home
A home should be more than just a place to live.
That’s why many newly built homes have amenities that help work, relax and play.
“To get out and explore, Higgs Yard will have secure on-site cycle storage, as well as offering car club access and proximity to Loughborough Junction Station, just a two-minute walk away.”
Cost-effective housing
Once you settle into a home, extra expenses can be a real nightmare and getting used to the new monthly expenses can be a shock.
Energy efficiency can be a major saving for new-build buyers, thanks to everything from high-quality insulation to low-energy appliances. All homes at Higgs Yard use air source heat pumps, further helping buyers reduce their carbon footprint and benefit from lower energy bills compared to older properties.
At Higgs Yard, homes are backed by a 10-year builder’s warranty and offer a two-year defect period, meaning repair costs can be much lower than for those buying older properties.
Home ownership made easy
Buying a property can be a long, daunting process, but buying a newly built home is actually quite easy. New build homes are chain free, removing the stress of frustrating and expensive delays while waiting for others in the chain to develop.
Private sale homes at Higgs Yard start from £460,000 for a one bedroom home.
