How can we help you?

Why buy a New Build?

Buying a new build home offers many fantastic benefits, such as the ability to choose the finishes and design features to suit your tastes and the security of warranties. For example, when you buy a new build from Morrish Homes, it will be covered by our own two-year warranty and a ten-year National House Building Council (NHBC) warranty. 

The process for buying a new build is straight forward as there’s no onward chain and as everything is brand new, there won’t be any nasty surprises awaiting you on the survey or after you move in. Read on to learn more about what’s involved in the process. 

Help with buying a New Build 

When you buy a new build home, you gain access to a number of schemes that help you with the entire process, both financially and practically. These include:
 
Help to Buy scheme – The government’s Help to Buy scheme lends you up to 20% of the cost of buying your new home so only have to pay a 5% deposit and arrange a mortgage of up to 75% to make up the rest. You won’t have to pay interest on the Help To Buy loan for the first five years, making it a very affordable way to buy your new build home. 

Move Assist – With our Move Assist scheme, you can move into your dream home much quicker than you may think. That’s because, once you have found your perfect Morrish Homes property, we can help you to sell your existing one within the set timeframe and at our expense.

Reserving your New Build Home

Once you have found the perfect new build property, it’s time to agree a price with the developer and make your reservation. At Morrish Homes, we will ask you to complete a reservation form and pay a deposit so the property can be taken off the market and reserved for 28 days. It is within this time that the exchange of contracts should take place.* Once we have exchanged, we will agree on a completion date, which is the day you pay the remaining price of the property and get the keys ready to move in. We will meet with you to show you around your new home and answer any questions you may have. 

Check what’s included in the price 

When you buy a new build, especially if you’re buying off-plan, check with the developer about what is included in the price so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Ask to see a detailed specifications list which should include information about the materials and fixtures and fittings used throughout the property. This will help you visualise the space and make planning how you’ll make the property your own much easier. All the Morrish Homes new build properties include the highest specification fixtures and fittings and many include fully integrated modern kitchens, garages, beautiful outside space and fully fitted bathrooms. 

De-bunking the New Build premium

You may have heard that buying a new build home is more expensive than buying an older, though similar, counterpart. However, new build homes offer excellent value for money as everything is brand new and unused, and of the highest quality, meaning lower maintenance bills and repairs. All Morrish Homes new builds are also built in-line with the latest building regulations and technology so they provide increased thermal efficiency, such as high specification insulation, double glazing and advanced heating controls, for lower running costs.
