It is time to celebrate new build homes and as New Homes Week approaches, it is the perfect opportunity to explore the benefits of buying a newly built property!
The initiative’s goal is to deliver information to people who are considering buying a new build home, showcase new industry conceptions, and a chance for builders and developers to share completed projects.
What is New Homes Week?
This year’s event will take place from the 26th of February and run until March 4th. The whole week will see many exciting events and activities organised by plot developers and builders.
Several advantages come with purchasing a newly built home – New Homes Week sets out to inform homebuyers about the energy efficiency, modern design options, and personal customisation available for their new house.
It is also the perfect chance to learn about the process of buying a home.
Energy Efficiency in New Builds in 2024
- Boilers No More: When moving into a newly built home, you can be guaranteed that you are moving in with the newest and most energy-efficient technology available! 2025 will see the banning of gas boilers so most new builds today will feature the installation of a green heating source like air source heat pumps.
- Insulation for the Nation: New homes are fitted with the most current and best insulative materials which prevent heat from escaping. This saves you money and in turn creates a better EPC rating for your home, unlike an older property where the heat would escape rapidly.
- A New Solar System: Some developments will include solar panels on their homes. Again, 2025 will make this compulsory with all newly built homes. Of course, this will reduce your carbon emissions massively, especially in conjunction with heat pumps and insulation.
How Can You Get Involved in New Homes Week?
- Open Day: Commonly, developers hold open houses in New Homes Week, where you can get an inside look at the new properties and ask any questions you may have.
- Converse with Professionals: You can take the opportunity to chat with mortgage professionals, builders, and real estate agents who will gladly discuss your home-buying prospects and give you free advice on the whole journey, including finance options.
- Workshops that Work: Attend workshops and seminars that will delve into areas of energy efficiency and homebuying advice.
