Hi,

We're looking at moving house within the next 12months or so, and recently I've looked at the idea of a new build property, the likes of RedRow and Wimpey etc.


Just wondering if anyone has any experiences from these properties at all? It's not something I'd considered before - but the idea is appealing at the moment but I'm not aware of any pitfalls of doing this etc. Just after some opinions reall :)


Cheers
 
Thanks for all the responses, I knew that new builds weren't that highly thought of but I didn't think it was that bad.

In terms of space and price, the ones I've seen so far seem comparable to older properties. Quality and finish is an issue though, I'll investigate a little more on this. I wonder if it's a regional issue or a developer issue.

I must admit in terms of size and layout Taylor Wimpey were miles ahead of redrow - although you obviously can't just quality on a show home...


Size of plot is a big concern for me, not only do we need a double driveway - I also want a garage and a bit of privacy at the front. Most new estates seem to have the houses built right on the pavement, so that alone could make it a no-go.

We were pretty close to moving into a new build house but change our minds and went for something bigger and cheaper and we are very happy we made that decision.

New builds do have that shiny, modern sparkle to them but even after completion of the final build the area is a constant building site. Roads unfinished, diggers and trucks constantly moving around etc. Who needs that !!!

There's something quite appealing about only having the JCB's for neighbours :p


I could get them to build me a moat around the house
