Lifestyle Advantages of a New Home

New Homes Week is an annual celebration of new-build homes across the UK, designed to provide a positive platform for new-build homeowners and potential homebuyers to celebrate the benefits of new homes. The theme for 2024 is ‘Tomorrow awaits: Make it Yours’, which will highlight the lifestyle advantages of buying a new home.

 At Nicholas King Homes, we understand that buying a new home can be one of the biggest purchases of your life, here are the advantages of choosing a new build home.

New home energy-efficiency

All our new-build developments are constructed with the latest building techniques and materials and could be up to 55% cheaper to run, meaning on average you could save over £2200 a year*. Our new homes at Amber Waterside in Cranleigh have been built with timber frame construction, ensuring high-performing insulation, so they are cosy, easy to heat, and environmentally friendly.

All our energy-efficient new homes are EPC rated B or above and are fitted with a range of appliances, such as boilers with energy ratings of A, electric car chargers, photovoltaic panels, energy-saving lighting, and double-glazed windows. Also, our new homes at Oakley Mews in Windsor benefit from cost-saving solar panels. These appliances and features use advanced technology to consume less energy, without sacrificing performance, helping homeowners save money on their monthly energy bills while reducing their carbon footprint.**

Low maintenance

Compared to older homes, new-built homes often require less maintenance and upkeep. With brand-new systems and materials, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your home is less likely to experience costly repairs or renovations in the near future. New homes are built to new regulations to ensure increased build quality and improved energy performance and come with a two-year builder guarantee and 10-year structural warranty for added peace of mind. In 2023, the New Homes Ombudsman Service and a new Code of Practice was launched, providing even greater protection for new build buyers. This covers the entire homebuying process, from how a builder markets and sells homes to the aftercare they provide for two years after completion.

Community amenities

All our new homes are built with the community and location in mind and offer a range of amenities such as parks, walking trails, grocery shops, community centres, and schools. These amenities foster a sense of belonging and encourage social interaction among residents, enhancing overall quality of life.

Financial incentives

At Nicholas King Homes, we offer tailor-made incentives to suit you. Whether it’s contributing to your deposit, covering your stamp duty or legal fees, or helping you sell your house, we will help you buy your dream home.
