If you’re considering buying a new build home, the mortgage process can sometimes be a bit more complex than for an older property, particularly if you’re buying off-plan.
New build properties often appeal to homebuyers as they typically come with a warranty such as the NHBC 10-year certificate which protects you if there are any defects in the building work.
You may be able to choose your own fittings and finishes such as tiles, carpets, kitchen and bathroom, and new homes can be eligible for Government schemes such as Help to Buy.
They also have the advantage that you won’t be involved in a chain, which can make the whole buying process much easier.
Another benefit is that new homes are typically more energy-efficient than older properties, which could save you money on your gas and electricity bills.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debts secured on it. Think carefully about securing other debts against your home.
