Here’s what you should actually do before you reserve a new build:
1. Visit more than once
Go back at different times of the day ,traffic, noise, and even the feel of the area can change completely.
2. Check what you’re REALLY paying for
Compare it with similar developments nearby. Different developments come with different premiums and incentives , don’t get caught out.
3. Research the developer properly
Don’t just trust the show home . Check reviews and past projects. And remember, quality can vary between developments depending on the contractors used.
4. Get your finances ready first
Speak to a mortgage advisor before you reserve the last thing you want is pressure and unexpected surprises.
5. Line up your solicitor early
You’ll usually have around 28 days to exchange. Delays can risk you losing the property.
6. Ask for ALL costs upfront
Service charges, maintenance fees, parking, extras , get everything clearly in writing.
7. Know what’s included vs what’s extra
Flooring, appliances, turf, garden fences , they’re often not included. Be clear on what you’re actually getting.
8. Plan a snagging inspection
Even brand-new homes can have issues , don’t skip this step.
Most people focus on the show home. Smart buyers focus on what happens before they sign.
That’s exactly where
