That is why we have compiled a list of the top eight reasons why a new home may be a better choice for you compared to an older property.

One of the trickiest things about buying an older property is the likelihood you will end up in a chain. Relying on others to sell their property or make an offer on one, or both, can add weeks if not months onto the process of you purchasing a home.
Take that out of the equation and you’re left with afar smoother process of buying your home and moving in.
A new home will be built with efficiency and sustainability in mind. From a boiler half the size of what you may have previously had (and extremely quiet) to double glazing and insulation, all installed as standard with a new Cora home. You get greater energy efficiency and temperature control, which can save you money on bills.
In fact, according to the Home Builders Federation, on average, owners of a new build property save just over £2000 on household bills each year.
With thorough building regulations a new home is built to a robust standard with exceptionally high specifications. Modern materials and methods are used meaning you can rest easy that your new home will be ready and fit for purpose. New homes are typically spacious too, with room for families to grow.
We are so confident in our service and homes we encourage our customers to leave reviews on Trustpilot. We’re grateful for all feedback; it helps us do the best job possible.
Although an older home may come with character or period features, there is nothing like a blank canvas for you to create your dream home. No one else has cooked in the kitchen, taken a bath or slept in the master bedroom! You can design your décor from scratch. It’s an exciting time as you move into a home that will always look exactly how you want it to.
New homes are often built to form a local community with houses of various shapes and sizes coming together, often around meticulously planned green space and amenities. Buying new means you’ll be surrounded by others doing the same. You can meet your neighbours, form friendships, share experiences, and build a strong community.
At Cora, we create amazing places for our customers, partners, and our local communities to lead healthy and more environmentally conscious lives.
A new home won’t have any of the potential damage or poor DIY jobs that an older one can come with. You are extremely unlikely to have to make any repairs to your new home for years. That will save you valuable time and money. It also means you can concentrate on settling into your new home without the stress of having to organise repairs.
Older homes can be spacious and perfectly suitable for living in, but a new home is designed for modern life. Top-spec new builds have all the latest technology with many offering ‘smart home’ features. Older homes may have outdated heating systems, or you might have to make major structural changes to allow for more up-to-date tech. New homes often feature open-plan layouts too, where older properties tend to have smaller, less functional rooms.
A new build home comes with added protection you won’t get on an older home. From structural fault insurance to cover floors, windows, and roof coverings, you can rest assured your home is built to last.
