A New Home and a Handyman

Buying a brand new home can be quite daunting and a little more expensive, but if you weigh up the benefits of a higher re-sale value you may be convinced that it is the way to go. Use the following hints to endorse your decision:

1. Interior Design

One huge benefit of a brand new property is the blank canvass that it offers you to furnish everywhere to your style and taste. Very often you can actually choose your kitchen units and appliances and the general décor within the house. Modern layouts are nearly always well designed with open plan features and dining areas within kitchens. Interior painting will generally be neutral so will complement all of your furniture to begin with even if you decide to change it at a later date.

2. Energy Efficient

Another positive is that new builds can also save you money on your fuel bills. The code for sustainable homes is now the national standard, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and create maintainable values.  High quality energy saving window treatments can be applied alongside space heating controls and smart meters for electricity. New homes will also come with low energy light bulbs, loft and cavity instillation and draft proofing. External wall insulation, floor insulation and solar panels or a biomass boiler will all be fitted as standard.

3. No chain

The advantage of buying a brand new property is the shortening of the chain of house moving as you are not waiting for someone to sell their property and move out. You may want to look at part exchange schemes if you have a property to sell yourself. These arrangements avoid all the stress of actually putting your house on the market managing and paying estate agents fees and worrying about the chain. You agree a price up front and plan your move, knowing you will get a guaranteed buyer and 100% of the market value of your property.

4. Warranty

The majority of new homes are covered by an NHBC warranty and insurance. Standards are provided for technical benchmarks for the actual house construction, and a Build mark warranty means you will be insured against defects and damage although this would not include cover for condensation, wear and tear or normal shrinkage.

5. Garden

If you are interested in gardening then you will also be delighted that this will be another area where you can happily design and plant to your hearts content. You can landscape to reflect your personality and lifestyle and also protect the environment by using environmentally friendly construction techniques. If you understand the elements of nature you will be able to blend everything accordingly. If you need help with any of your projects either with the garden or your new house then you should enlist the help of a handyman service who will happily advise and help you with all your outstanding tasks.
