If you’re tired of moving into fixer-uppers, or purchasing older properties that turn out to have problems hidden beneath their period charm, why not consider a brand new Waterstone home? Buying new comes with a number of specific advantages, including:

Choice

The earlier you register your interest in one of our new developments, the more likely you are to find exactly the right home. The key to getting that south-facing garden for glorious summer barbecues or top-floor apartment with fabulous views is to get in quickly and find out what your options are. Our new build homes are designed with the wants and needs of modern house-buyers in mind, so there’s every chance you’ll find your particular wishes fulfilled.

10-year warranty

While one of the clearest benefits of owning a brand new Waterstone home is that repair and maintenance costs won’t be an issue, you also get the reassurance of a 10-year warranty from the National House Building Council (NHBC), which will cover any structural defects with the building. This means that if any problems do arise, Waterstone Homes (for the first two years) or the NHBC (for eight years after that) will cover the cost of putting it right.

No seller chain

Buying a new home means you eliminate at least one element of uncertainty: you won’t have to worry about the seller’s end of the deal falling through. As well as being convenient for you, this can also be an attractive hook for buyers of your own property.

More certainty

Buying and selling your home can be one of the most stressful life situations, with the cancellation rate for second-hand homes as high as 20 per cent. There are a number of reasons why a private buyer or seller may change their minds, including a change in circumstances, a bad survey, a chain falling through or being gazumped. When you buy a Waterstone home you pay a reservation fee which holds the property for a period of time and prevents us from accepting a higher offer, as long as you exchange within the timescale agreed. Equally, there are no survey issues to contend with.

Energy efficiency

All Waterstone homes are designed with energy performance in mind, including insulation and high-efficiency central heating, so you can expect to pay less for your heating bills – as well as reducing your impact on the environment.

It’s your home, let us help you create it. Waterstone Homes are here to help you make your vision for your new bespoke home a reality
