Why new build properties are an attractive proposition for my property buyers
Historically, buying a newly built property in Battersea and Clapham was limited to the river or nearby. I remember selling the Penthouse in Plantation Wharf, the first significant development in Battersea over 25 years ago.
We now see various new developments across the Battersea SW11 and Clapham SW4. We are currently marketing some stunning developments in Clapham Old Town and Wandsworth Common, with other sites coming to the market in 2025.
So, what are the advantages of buying a new build home?
Modern Design & Energy Efficiency
New build homes are designed with contemporary lifestyles in mind. They often feature open-plan layouts, larger windows for natural light, and integrated smart home technology. Additionally, they are built to the latest energy-efficiency standards, resulting in lower utility bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
Low Maintenance
With everything brand new—from the roof to the heating system—a newly built property requires minimal maintenance in the early years. Modern plumbing, wiring, and appliances reduce the chances of unexpected repairs or costly upgrades, making it a hassle-free investment compared to period properties, which may come with hidden issues like dampness, outdated electrics, or structural repairs.
Customisation & Warranties
When buying a new build, particularly off-plan, there’s often the opportunity to personalise aspects of the property, such as choosing kitchen finishes, flooring, or even layout options. Additionally, most new homes come with a 10-year warranty (e.g., NHBC warranty), offering peace of mind that any structural issues will be covered for the long term.
Safety & Compliance
New build homes are constructed with the latest safety regulations and building codes in mind. This includes better fire safety measures, security systems, and adherence to health and safety standards, ensuring a safer living environment.
Modern Amenities & Developments
Many new homes are part of a more significant development that come with added perks like landscaped parks, parking, and easy access to newly built schools, shops, and transport links. These developments are often designed to foster a sense of community with integrated amenities right at your doorstep.
No Chain, Faster Transactions
Buying a new build typically means there’s no upward property chain to deal with, which can speed up the buying process significantly. This removes the uncertainty and delays often associated with period properties, where chains can collapse and extend the purchase timeline.
